“Hello! First, thank you all so much for all the amazing things you help others accomplish through hosting your podcast and creating this phenomenally supportive and inspiring community at MTA!! Love it!!
At the beginning of 2023 I decided I would like to run an ultra. I had only ever done 1/2 marathons, and only about 10 of those!
I began training on my own, and got a stress fracture and severely inflamed tendons from over training. It was painful even to walk so I had to pause running entirely. Continue Reading →

Congrats to our coaching client Zach who conquered his first 50 miler!! He was kind enough to share some thoughts on how MTA coaching prepared him for this challenge. He writes,
“The race was amazing. As you may remember, I attempted a 50-miler in September (training by myself, mostly around my neighborhood). But Coach Henry had me so super prepared (physically, for the trails, for the hills, mentally), I felt great crossing the finish line (looking at the video, I was still moving okay for 50 miles I think.
A few other thoughts I’ve had about coaching:
I don’t know what’s next! I think this fall I want revenge on the 50-miler in Alabama that go away from me last year.
Thanks again for being such a great introduction into the program and pairing me up with Henry. He’s the best.” -Zach L. Continue Reading →
Dave Proctor ran across Canada 🇨🇦 in 67 days (4,448 miles) and broke the Trans-Canada record. He provides a unique look into the endurance mindset -that will help you get through challenges of your own. Dave ran between 63-68 miles per day with no rest days. His average pace was a 10:30 mile and he allowed himself very little comforts and the support vehicle was only for quick stops every 20 kilometers.
