Just added a new article to our media coverage page. Jack and Vince were both quoted at length in this Runner’s World article about finding your ideal running pace. We’ll be posting a lot about appropriate training paces soon…in fact…we’re planning a whole series on this stuff! This is what we pride ourselves on and Jack’s body of work really focuses on the importance of knowing the purpose of every workout and what your ideal pace should be to achieve optimal results.
ASSIGN WORKOUT TIMES

Project. In other words, don’t run one second faster than necessary.

Run SMART client Charlie Hartel signed up for coaching back in November of 2009 and has been working with coach Vince Sherry ever since. Before he joined The Project he had just run 50:16 (8:06 per mile) for 10k. Recently, he dropped 21 seconds off his 4-mile PR, the second time he’s lowered it since working with Vince, finishing in 25:46 (6:27 per mile). To see Charlie go from a guy averaging 8:06 per mile for 10k to 6:27′s for 4 miles is a huge transformation. He’s turning into quite the runner these days and we’re proud to see him continue to progress.
Next up, the New York City Marathon this November!
