Congratulations Britt!

Torunto coached runner Britt Moran, known by most runners here in the city, is racing and crushing records once again! Congratulations with her win during the Toronto 5 km Bumrun.

As a coach, I am very happy to see her race again at this level. She ended last year with a hard marathon effort in Philadelphia under terrible weather conditions. Not achieving your goal is always disappointing. Credit to Britt for not trying to excuse our result in this marathon. However, she took a well deserved break from running. Now, returning to racing after some weeks of excellent training, she seems to have found the next gear.  The secret behind her fitness level seems to be lowering the intensity of the so-called ‘threshold intervals’ in combination with some higher quality work with enough rest between the intervals and with limited volume. Way to go Britt. Will this result in PB’s in the distances she handles the best, the 10km and the half marathon? To be continued! You know what, you only have to wait a few days. Sunday May 7, she is back at it at Toronto 1/2 marathon.
