The Olympic Dream- Clara Santucci

Tina Muir
elite runner, goals
I have the perfect person to keep you entertained. Today I would like to share the story of Clara Santucci. Clara and I met at Chicago Marathon. We were both representing Saucony, although she is one of the contracted sponsored runners, the big time Saucony athletes, and I was at first a little intimidated. Saucony took us…

Failures Make You Stronger- Sara Slattery

Tina Muir
elite runner, struggles
I already know that you enjoy reading my website because you get to see the ups and many downs of being an elite turned mom but I wanted to show you that it is not just me, but all elites go through struggles, and have the same doubts as you do. Hopefully by the time I…

7 mile, racing
As I sit in the car, on our 8 hour drive back to Lexington, I have plenty of time to reflect on my race this morning. Sitting with a blank page in front of me, I asked Steve where to start. He said “that you spent time with this years Boston Marathon champion”. Yes. That…

Well…..It has been a while since one of these posts, but I thought it was about time to write a summary of what has been going on. I talked about it a little in my Why You Need to Cross Train post, but I have not really summed up how things are going overall. Okay,…

Redefining the Word Team- Introducing Team Ice Cream!

Tina Muir
You may have noticed that I have been talking a lot recently about my “team”. It got me thinking about the word. For the longest time, I thought I didn’t have a “team”. Of course I am part of the Saucony Hurricanes team, but I very very rarely even see another Hurricane, let alone interact…

I don’t even know where to begin with this experience. I feel like I write this a lot with my blog posts, but this time…..I just….my mind is just all over the place, shooting in many directions as I try to absorb as much of it as I can. As I sit writing this in…

Happy Friday! I am afraid I do not have anything new and exciting to share with you today as I am currently in Charlottesville, VA. Steve and I decided it was a good time to go back and see how my form compares to the last time I was here, and then see what we…

The opinions in this post are my own. I have researched for this post, but I am not being paid by anyone to write this. I am recommending based on my experience and research, but this decision is yours to make. About 5 years ago, when my auntie Jenny would come over for dinner, she would either…

Tina Muir
marathon, speed
I have recapped, I have revisited, and I have reflected. You are probably sick of hearing about London Marathon by now, and you will be happy to hear that this is not another post about the race, but many people have reached out to ask…what’s next? Time to share: I already told you it is…

Hello! I can’t believe so many of you said you wished you were in Lexington to be able to do the Lexington Running Clinic with my Strength Coach Drew, and I. It really makes me feel special to know that you would like to learn more from me about running, even after all my posts…
