Ryan Hall to start a new training group in Flagstaff. “When I retired from professional running 2 1/2 years ago I thought that was the end of my journey of pursuing big, dreamer-size goals in running,” Ryan stated, followed by, “Now, I want to make my ceiling my athletes’ floor so they can learn from the good and bad from my running career and go after big goals.” For entry to the team, he states, “If you are a big dreamer and are interested in joining a like-minded group you can contact me directly at ryanhallcoaching@gmail.com. The team is open to athletes who have qualified for a USATF Track Championship, been an All-American in college, or have achieved the Olympic B standard in the marathon and have a way to financially support themselves.” Read the full post Continuing the Journey on Ryan and Sara’s blog
ElliptiGO did a nice feature and interview with Katie Mackey and an interview with coach Danny Mackey. On her use of the ElliptiGO, Katie said, “I first started using the GO in 2012, and have been in love with it ever since. I initially started using it to replace runs on recovery days when my Achilles was irritated. Since then, I’ve integrated it more as a practical tool even when I am healthy. Now I use it to supplement my mileage with additional cross training doubles.” Read the full feature ElliptiGO Athlete Spotlight: Katie Mackey on ElliptiGo
