Run With Confidence

“Run with Confidence, Train with Purpose.”

That is the slogan I chose for Sifuentes Coaching almost 4 years ago.

At the time I was retiring from a 10 year career as a highly competitive pro runner.

I had no personal experience (yet!) as a recreational runner, but was convinced that the same training concepts I’d learned as an Olympian would suit all runners.

Regardless of your goal, progress is made with consistent, intentional, and thoughtful training.

My aim is to give you a workout and tell you why you’re doing it. Knowing how and why your workouts prepare you for your goal - that is Training With Purpose.

I provide the plan and teach you how to apply it in your training. When something unexpected happens out on the roads and you know how to listen to your body, adjust the plan, and finish strong - you’re Running With Confidence.

Sincerely,
Nicole

ICYMI: Calf Raises (start today!)

I featured calf raises in November and have since learned even more about how significantly the lower leg contributes to running. Running is essentially continuous forward hopping.

If you’re looking to add anything to your strength training routine, let it be (properly executed) calf raises!

  • Lift heel as high as possible

  • Avoid scrunching your toes

  • Avoid rolling to the outside of your foot (keep weight in your big toe!)

  • Lower slowly, with control

  • Hang on to something (lightly) for balance

  • Do as many reps as you can

  • Stop when you can no longer maintain proper form
