The Ideal Partnership

When I started Sifuentes Coaching, several sources insisted that to successfully build a business, I had to develop a detailed description of my “dream client.”

By defining details like gender, age, event distance, hobbies, income, goals, and experience, I could then cater my energy and content toward that specific target client.

I couldn’t do it.

The people I want coach could be anything in any of those categories.

But over the years, there are two qualities that have always been associated with the successful runners at Sifuentes Coaching:

1) They are willing to do the work.
This is truly the only requirement for progress. (But don’t forget that rest days and easy days are part of the work!!!!)

2) They keep in touch (and fill out their training log!)
Good coaching is a partnership. Understanding one another leads to confidence and progress.

The diversity of individuals I’ve been able to coach is a true joy. If you have those two qualities, I would love to work with you too.

Sincerely,
Nicole

Julia’s “Summer of Miles”

Julia’s Mile Progression

July 7th 7:15
July 15th 6:59
August 6th 6:59
August 12th 6:57

Julia has been hitting the mile hard this summer - on the roads and on the track. And she’s run faster in every outing. Most recently she set a new PR on the roads at the Mt. Airy Road Mile and placed 3rd.

“I got a road mile PR by two seconds- 6:57- and came in third female overall 🙂.

The race is kind of a blur. I just focused on racing the people around me, because I decided from the start that I should try for top 3 female.

Overall, I felt strong and I really punched it in up the last tiny incline to the finish. I was extra motivated when I heard them cheering for the woman close behind me.”

Julia still has one more summer mile scheduled - the 5th Avenue Mile in NYC on September 10th.

LIFTING HEAVY 🏋️‍♀️

Lifting heavy weights can seem intimidating and significant equipment is required. In spite of these roadblocks, the benefit of lifting heavy is well worth the the effort.

Exercises like Squats, Dead Lifts and RDL are all excellent for runners. Building strength through these moves helps runners apply more force to the ground with each step. These exercises also train our muscles to work through a much greater range of motion than we use while running, which improves mobility and helps reduce injury.

Heavy Lifting Tips:

Start by learning the movement patterns without any resistance (just bodyweight). This includes bodyweight squat and hip hinge.
Add weight gradually once you are confident with the moves.
Work up to loads appropriate for 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps (with long rest: 3 min between sets for proper recovery).
