Faces of All Day Endurance:
I asked our ADE athletes a simple question.
What’s one thing that went well last month?
Here’s the next 10
Shawn Dahl
“Very happy with my performance on recent long runs. Each week is the longest I’ve ever run , and I still feel pretty good at the end. Very confidence inspiring.”
Wendy Drummond

1. Ran in the pool without pain

4. Bought a house
5. Had a good night sleep
6. Spent a day in the mountains
Leslie Swanson and John Wilkinson
“John and I are back to trying to do some of our workouts together- and when we have differing workouts - like this day - we still try to connect while we’re out there!”
David Gray
“In September enjoying sunrise running on both coasts of FL went right.”
Don Gallagher
“September was the start of the off-season for me, so it gave me the opportunity to do a proper reflection on my race season. I now have my new focus items to work on in the coming months. Periodization of nutritional needs is a big one which I’ve started to work on. The other thing that went well in September was the shear enjoyment of getting out on to the trails as the fall colors were coming out...”
Mark Komanecky
Well that’s easy - how about “a successful marathon finish!”
Dawna Holowell
“Me embracing the pool as my new therapy for my hip so I can get stronger to be able to trail run again.”
Vincent Virga
“Progress!
From recovering from the bike crash to 8 miles at a 9:35 pace. Feeling stronger, healthier and more like myself every week. Appreciate you helping me get back here and what is in store for 2027!”
Heather Catlin
“Managed to successfully run on trails in Georgia without falling!”
Andrew West
“Felt good for the first time in over a year without some issue or injury. Even if it was just a 5k it was my best run in ages.”
