WE KEEP THIS BLUETOOTH SPEAKER IN OUR HOME GYM

By Trevor Spencer on May 7, 2024 in Gear, Review


If you came to our house you’d see that our unfinished basement is essentially
our home gym. It’s not fancy but we love it.

We have a treadmill, weight bench, water rower, punching bag, chin-up bar, and
even an infrared sauna. Do you listen to music when you work out? I do. I turn
the music up loud when I’m down in our pain cave home gym.

I’ve been using a TRIBIT speaker for a few years and they were nice enough to
send me their new model (which rocks)! Continue Reading →

1ST IN AGE GROUP AT TRAIL MARATHON

By Trevor Spencer on May 6, 2024 in Coaching, Masters Runner, Success Story,
Trail Running

Congrats to our coaching client Luis who finished the Ultra Blue Island Marathon
in Portugal and won his age group! He writes,

“Completed my trail marathon race with a time of 5:53:48. The race was cut by
6Ks due to high winds at the original arrival location because it is sandy and
volcanic ashes; the winds could cause issues to runners.

If I had to continue to 42k, since it was 6K all downhill, based on my last lap
of 6:21, I would have had 6:28ish, meaning MTA Coach Henry helped me shave off
one hour from last year’s time.

I came in 37th overall out of 208 (42K-runners & young ones too) and 1st out of
7 in my M60 age group!

I’m also fired up because this route was actually harder than last year’s as
they made some changes to within the first 20Ks pretty much uphill: we had “1K”
of going up stairs (never seen this before) and 2Ks were actually steeper stairs
and muddy (it poured the night before) and it felt like dancing tango: one step
forward two backwards. Lots of fun! ” Continue Reading →

PR AT THE LONDON MARATHON

By Trevor Spencer on May 4, 2024 in Coaching, PR, Success Story

Congrats to our coaching client Alicia who earned a 5 minute PR at the London
Marathon! She writes,

“The London Marathon was simply amazing! The crowd support is out of this world.
There are no words to properly describe the joy you have when crossing over
Tower Bridge!

I finished with a time of 3:52:56 which is a 5 min PR and what I am calling my B
and a half goal I couldn’t be happier with this finish! Thanks Coach Abby for
getting me to another start line and helping me to continue to chase my goals!”

BQ WITH THE HELP OF MTA COACHING

By Trevor Spencer on April 15, 2024 in Coaching, Success Story

Congrats to our client Robin Walters who earned a BQ with a 16 minute buffer at
the Revel Mt. Charleston Marathon!! She writes,

“I can’t even begin to express my thanks to the GOAT Coach Athena and the entire
Marathon Training Academy fam!!

The podcasts, the training, all the resources have taken me from my first
marathon in 2020 at 4:19:01 to my fifth today at 3:34:20!!

The course was killer on the legs and the last few miles were brutal but the
solid training enabled me to push through to the end. What an amazing thing to
be getting faster as I’m getting older! Thanks MTA!!”
