An unusual season with Steven, with whom he had extra fun over the summer taking on FAST intervals to secure 1-mile and 5km personal bests.

The marathon was always in the back of our minds, but we set it aside for most of the season.

With such an extensive experience in the long distance events, it was appropriate to plan a shorter than usual build-up.

Be flexible and willing to do things differently to capitalize on an athlete’s potential.

When looking at the plan, Steven was concerned with the number of Long Runs being significantly less than in all of his previous training cycles. But, when the time came, he mastered the long workouts and felt as strong as ever.

It took until the last prep call 10-days before the Marathon to send him to the start line with full confidence.

If all the cards aligned, we would run right around 3hr20minutes on the challenging course. He finished in 3:20:13.

Thank you for making it happen and thank you for the trust through this process, chasing PRs was definitely all worth it!

While many struggled with motivation during COVID, Cristian did the opposite. He set goals to become healthier, stronger, and faster.

He joined the #CMSub3 crew, meeting his training mates via a video chat, and was determined to breaking the mark.

With a 1:30 HM and 3:22 Full, Cris was on paper a good candidate for the Chase Pack. However, just two weeks into the season, we had him move up to the main crew and it has been a series of amazing performances since.

Leading the pack consistently, he bettered expectations all throughout, and took home 10km and Half Marathon PRs. Breaking the 3-hr mark was just a formality at this point.

Alongside his training-mates, he showed up on Sunday, September 13th in Central Park for a go at the 26.2-mile distance. His 3:07:28 finish might not have been quite what we hoped for, but it is a massive step forward, a 15-minute improvement, and an important experience at the event.

No one will have their best days ever time they step on the line. Recognizing what went right and what went wrong is essential in becoming a better marathoner. We are beyond excited for what’s next for Cristian, stay tuned, this is just the tip of the iceberg 👀
