Finally Open For Registration!!!
Coach Heather Binns' here... During the pandemic in 2020 I had an idea, and that idea officially came to life last year in 2022.

Reminiscing on good times.
Coach Heather Binns's here... I’m reminiscing on the Drumstick Dash L.A. from last week…It was fun being at a race again, especially with friends. The 5K was very low stress and I pushed myself enough to run the whole thing without any walking…a new feat since my ankle injury in May. I’ve decided to focus on improving my strength, power, endurance and stability in 2023. No competitive racing goals…just to keep improving, and most importantly, having FUN!! This personal goal f

Sure, I'll Take a DNF
Coach Heather Binns here… What a weekend I had in Big Bear for the USNS Spartan Race! My Plan : Finish the 6.5-mile race with 3,000 feet of elevation gain and 27 obstacles. Run at a pace that is doable for me, so I don't burn out on the course. Test my hip on the new obstacles I have not yet tried since before my surgery in 2021. Give every obstacle my best attempt and finish the penalties as assigned (burpees or penalty loops). Expect to be on the course for over 2 hours. En

Is Your Confidence Engine Revving?
Or is it running low?

I've struggled many times with accomplishing some of my own goals. I've had to reset my thoughts and action plans numerous times to dodge the curveballs life throws at me, but in the end I'm usually a success - I reach my goal. Now it's your turn.

Why Adding Beets to Your Pre-Race Routine May Be Helpful
<p>One of the most promising pre-workout foods lies in the simple beet. Research has shown consistently impressive results from consuming beets before several athletic events. Beets contain one of the highest levels of nitrates, a compound found in many vegetables and leafy greens that helps dilate blood vessels (promoting good blood pressure), lower inflammation, and enhance Mitochondria (our mini powerhouses of energy in our cells).</p>
