Dedication, Discipline & Positive Mindset 💥

Congratulations to all the runners who ran this summer season! SO many of you are taking on big challenges and realizing your potential.

There are organized runs every weekend, earlier in the spring, Cade McCarthy ran his first ½ marathon. Let me share a little about Cade….

When Cade came to me about 8 months ago for individual run coaching, I knew he had something special and would be a great person to work with.

At 15 and he was the youngest runner I’ve ever coached. In our first call, I knew that with this kid, discipline, work ethic and a positive attitude would be a given. I could just tell. I had a gut feeling.

Through our time of working together, he did all his runs as planned, and tried new things, even getting in the cold plunge cattle trough from his town in Nelson, BC after his tougher runs. And I’ve enjoyed every single coaching call with him. He gives me just as much positive energy as I give him, and that is pretty cool!

I could count on him to be there for our weekly calls and I’m not sure if he even missed one run during all of our time together so far. As I said to him after his last race, he is going to go places with this type of work ethic and attitude at such a young age.

Cade ran is first 1/2 marathon with his Mom on Mother’s Day with flying colours, and than it was time to get ready for his first triathlon...As you can see, he did VERY well, finishing 3rd in the 16-19 age group while having the THIRD FASTEST RUN TIME IN THE ENTIRE FIELD!!

Now he’s got even bigger goals for another half in Victoria in the fall and has is sights set on getting really fast for cross country! (Sidebar, he is also a very good tennis player and golfer.)

Cade - it is an absolutely pleasure to coach you and I am so excited to what the future brings!
