Spewak Training

A monumental morning for Spewak Training in Indy! PRs, BQs, & some incredible racing on the streets of Indianapolis! What a phenomenal fall for our athletes. We still have so many performances from this fall to recognize! #spewaktraining

A sea of runners at the start of the Indy Monumental races! We got a huge crew racing today. Let’s go! #spewaktraining

PR City for Caroline! 4:20:17 at Chicago! In her first cycle with Coach Spewak, she got faster & rediscovered her love for running. As a Type 1 diabetic, she continues to inspire others & spread awareness. So proud of you, Caroline! #spewaktraining

We spend so much time chasing PRs, but years from now it’s the friendships & memories we made along the way that we’ll remember most. Running is so much more than race times! #spewaktraining

Nerves mean you care! You’ve spent months preparing for race day. Trust your training, remember your why, & be grateful for the opportunity to compete. Your success as a runner isn’t defined by one race or finish time. Enjoy the experience! #spewaktraining

A 15-minute marathon PR for Molly at NYC! She crushed one of the toughest World Major Marathon courses in 4:31:04! Consistent training, smart pacing, & keeping running fun have paid off big time! So proud of Molly & Coach Kaitlyn for another fantastic performance!

Running is a lot more fun when you’re dressed up! We spend so much time trying to improve as runners, but sometimes it’s important to remember how much fun this sport can be. Happy Halloween from Spewak Training! #spewaktraining

The hardest workout in your training schedule might be your rest day! Even as a coach, I struggle with taking days off. Recovery is part of the process, not a setback. Anyone else struggle with rest days? #spewaktraining

Claudia took a risk & it paid off! A new 10k PR of 1:00:06 & 1st in her AG at the GO! St. Louis Halloween 10k! Coach Spewak challenged her to race more aggressively & she delivered nearly perfect even splits. All while balancing life as a busy doctor! So proud! #spewaktraining
