MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Long-time Mill Valley member, Theo, has been dealing with a nagging neck issue, diligently doing his accessory work and specialized programming to get healthy. It’s working! It’s never easy to be less than 100%, but we can almost always get you back there if you reach out for help!

Program Foundations:
•Injury prevention/Consistency
Strength training builds stronger, more resilient connective tissues (muscle, bone, tendon, ligament), allowing athletes to train harder and with more frequency, all while avoiding injury.
•Efficiency/Muscular Power
Power is a necessity for success in distance running. Our Running Strong program aims to increase runners' ability to create and access power.
•Longevity/Health
While running has significant cardiovascular benefits, it often falls short when it comes to balance and sustainability. We will address issues and ailments common to runners, with the goal of enabling athletes to enjoy running for years to come.
Coach Nick Laplant is a Marin County native who grew up running the trails of Mt. Tam. He ran competitively for Tam High and earned a scholarship to Humboldt State, where he competed in Cross Country and Track and Field. Nick has competed in a number of demanding local races, including the Dipsea, and the Mt. Tam Hill Climb, and he is thrilled to be helping others reach their running potential in the beautiful running backdrop of Marin.
our legends program has been, well, legendary!
Our LEGENDS program has been a huge success! The current session runs through Friday, November 16th, and then we will break for Thanksgiving. The flyer above has the info for our next session. Please help us spread the good word; our hope is to get these classes at all three locations and at multiple times. We’d like to get as many 60+ year-olds in Marin moving as possible! Athletes can join at any time, since we pro-rate.
