TJ's Gym Weekly News 12/26/2018
Ingmar came back!
One of the best parts about the holidays is seeing some of our TJ’s Gym family members who have moved on but come back to visit their family over break. Ingmar, second from left, started with us as a Junior at Tam High in 2011. He’s now in medical school in Wisconsin and is still as nice as ever. Thanks for visiting, Ingmar!
VIDEO Message from TJ: Bring on 2019! You know what to do to make it a great year. Let’s do it!

Calling all runners FOR RUNNING STRONG! COMING TO TJ’s MILL VALLEY IN JANUARY!
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.
