Racing Against Yourself

What is your goal? Is it specific?

Set a new Personal Best.
Qualify for Boston.
Become a Marathoner.

Or is it less defined?

Get out of a cycle of injury.
Become a consistent runner.
Do more speed training.

In the midst of this pandemic, runners haven’t stopped seeking their potential.

Even without races, this month has been one of the the most rewarding yet for Sifuentes Coaching. Runners have embraced their fitness and the freedom to run alone, pivoting to Virtual races and crushing their goals.

Thanks for the inspiration!

What are you capable of?

2020 is the year of Virtual Racing!

…and May was the month of the sub-2 hour Half Marathon! Congrats to these 3 Sifuentes Coaching runners who all set PRs and broke 2 hours for the first time.

George, Virtual Toledo Half Marathon - 1:55:01
Alicia, Virtual Half Marathon - 1:59:06
Jan, Virtual “Wings of Life” Charity Run, Vienna 1:46:00 (enroute)

Performance of the Month

Jan competed in the virtual Wings For Life World Run on May 3 in Vienna.

“There is no finish line. Instead, 30 minutes after the start, a virtual Catcher Car begins pursuit, passing the runners and rollers one after the other.”

Jan covered 25.9 km (16.1 miles) before being caught by the chase car, splitting a 1:46 Half Marathon en route. This performance was a massive (almost 8km) improvement over his 2019 run.

“Last year I ran 18.1 km. So, this year was a huge improvement and I am very proud of that!”

Congrats Jan!
