Today I want to recognize our lead Sponsor that were crucial components of our success at Cocodona 250, which is a 250 mile single athlete foot race from Prescott Arizona to Flagstaff. This is not for the faint at heart and will test every part of your being!!
DFND USA took lead on our most important component in the recovery realm. DFND has premiere compression clothing with medical grade MMHG ratings for the multi facets of recovery in the training season. Additionally, DFND in collaboration with designed our versatile jerseys that stood up to the scorching heat in the Sonoran Desert and the snow on Mt. Elden!!
I can’t speak highly enough towards the true quality of the DFND products.

Hey everyone, I’m in the final stages of the taper for the and to be transparent, I’m pumped!! will run racer and crew logistics and we have Phil and Kyle flying in to pace after mile 65.
As a coach I always ask FGA athletes to weigh the risk and do big things! Now, is my time to practice what I teach and raise the bar while I’m there.
My pillars:
: be patient in the journey.
: be present with yourself and those around you.
: positivity is a weapon to strike into the hearts of others and not a shield to hide behind when problems are thrown your way.
I’m beyond grateful for all of those that have supported FGA and I congratulate those that have joined our family.
Cheers to you and cheers to me, let’s do this!!

Hawksbill Summit in Virginia is a should do for those needing to stretch their minds and legs. For those going solo, make it a point to let someone know when you’re going, where you’re going, and a drop dead time when you should call them back.
Try breaking up your runs with engaging different muscle groups. Here I chose to implement some bleacher work halfway through my 10 mile run. Stay creative in your journey and do t be afraid to just go for it!
