🌟 THIS WEEK AT RESOLUTE RUNNING 🌟

We need to take a moment because this one is absolutely extraordinary. 🤩

Last week, Resolute Running Head Coach Alex Morrow virtually crossed the Atlantic to Peloton London for a remarkable teaching engagements. Coach Alex, alongside fellow RRCA instructor Bobby Gessler, had the honor of teaching the Road Runners Club of America coaching certification curriculum to the Peloton London instructor team.

Let that land for a second.

Peloton instructors. The most recognized, most followed, most celebrated fitness professionals on the planet. When they decided it was time to become true experts in distance running, they reached out to the RRCA and Coach Alex. 🌍

💥BOOM!💥

Coach Alex is one of only seven instructors in the entire country certified to teach the RRCA coaching program, rated by Sports Illustrated as the number one run coaching curriculum for distance runners in America. The program covers everything from building training plans and exercise physiology to sports nutrition, sports psychology, injury prevention, and the history of the sport itself. This is the gold standard of run coaching education, and Coach Alex is one of the people who delivers it at the highest level.

And now the Peloton London team has it too. Because when the best fitness professionals in the world want to level up their running knowledge, they turn to the best. 💪

We share this not to brag (okay, maybe a little 😄), but because it speaks directly to why working with Resolute Running is different. Our coaches are not just good at running. They are recognized experts at the national and international level. Coach Alex is not just coaching runners in Birmingham, he is literally shaping the future of run coaching on a global scale, working with runners locally, nationally, and internationally!

So whether you are training for your first 5k, your tenth marathon, or a big ultra, you deserve coaches whose expertise is trusted by the world's biggest fitness platform. Those coaches are right here. 🧡

Reach out today and let's build something great together.

🏅 TERRIFIC TUESDAY RACE REPORT 🏅

This one takes us all the way to the Pacific Northwest for one of the most legendary race experiences in the entire running world. 🌲🏔️🌊

Resolute Running Coach Charlie Sharbel teamed up with Phil Moore from TherapySouth SoHo, the best physical therapist for runners in Birmingham, along with a crew of other incredible Birmingham runners to take on the iconic Hood To Coast Relay this past weekend. Known as the Mother of All Relays, Hood to Coast sends teams of 8 to 12 runners on a 196 mile journey from the summit of Mount Hood all the way to the Oregon Coast. Day into night into dawn. Vans, legs, laughs, and pure running grit from start to finish. 🎉

Their team, "Here We Go," came in saying they wanted to have fun. And they did. But make no mistake, these folks also came to RACE.

13th place overall out of 1,271 teams.

💥KAPOW!💥

Let that number sink in. Out of over a thousand teams from across the globe, "Here We Go" finished 13th. And they did it with an average pace of 5:55 per mile across 200 miles. 🤯

A sub-6 average. Across an entire relay. Up and over mountains and down to the sea. That is not just fast. That is flat out ELITE level running and we could not be more proud of Coach Charlie and every single person on that team.

Congratulations to Coach Charlie and the entire "Here We Go" crew! What an absolutely incredible performance. 🌊🏅

🏅 TERRIFIC TUESDAY RACE REPORT 🏅

Sometimes the best way to know your training is working is to jump into a race just for fun and see what happens. Resolute Runner Katie Brown did exactly that this past weekend and the results were very telling. 👀

Katie is deep into marathon training right now, building toward our team fall race, the Wineglass Marathon in Corning, NY on October 4th. One of the top destination marathons in the country, voted best marathon in New York State, and known for sending personal records falling all over that gorgeous point-to-point course through the Finger Lakes region. Katie has her eyes on a big PR there and her training has been going incredibly well. 💪

So this weekend she decided to have a little fun and jumped into the Farmhouse Color Run 5k in Auburn, AL. No pressure, just vibes, just color, just running for the joy of it. 😁

And then she went out and absolutely ran everybody down.

1st place in her age group. 7th overall female out of 353 runners.

💥ZOWIE!💥

For fun. She did that for fun. 🤩

Here is what makes this so exciting. When a runner competing for fun finishes 7th overall out of 353 women while in the middle of marathon training, that is not luck. That is fitness. That is a body that has been trained well, that is responding to the work, and that is quietly building toward something really special in October.

Corning, New York better get ready. Katie Brown is coming and she means business. 🍷🏃‍♀️

Congratulations, Katie! Keep trusting the process and keep having fun with it. That combination is going to produce something incredible at Wineglass! 🧡

🌟 WE HAVE SOME BIG NEWS TO SHARE! 🌟

We could not be more proud of Resolute Running Head Coach Alex Morrow for this incredible honor. Coach Alex was recently tapped by none other than Runner's World Magazine to create a brand new 10 Week Lactate Threshold Training Plan for one of the most iconic running publications in the world!

💥WHAM!💥

This is not just a big deal. This is a HUGE deal. Runner's World does not just call anybody. They call the best. And Coach Alex delivered, creating a comprehensive, expertly designed program that is now being used by runners all over the world to get faster, stronger, and more efficient.

So what is lactate threshold and why does it matter? In Coach Alex's own words, "Lactate threshold training is the bread and butter of long distance running and the biggest predictor of performance. It is the key to running faster for longer without fading at the end of your race." Sound familiar? It should, because this is exactly what we focus on every single day here at Resolute Running. 🏃🔥

The 10 week plan covers everything: cruise intervals, steady state threshold runs, long runs with threshold efforts woven in, strength training, and smart recovery. It is built for intermediate to advanced runners who are ready to unlock the next level of their fitness.

🏅 TERRIFIC TUESDAY RACE REPORT 🏅

At this point we need to start checking A***n Jack's shoes for rocket fuel because this man simply does not stop. 🚀🔥

This past weekend, Resolute Runner A***n Jack decided on a whim to jump into the Zombie Backyard Ultra at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, AL, hosted by Zombie Trail Races. For those who do not know the backyard ultra format, here is the deal. Runners complete a 4.167 mile loop every hour for as long as they can keep going. Miss the start of the next loop and you are done. Last one standing wins. It is as brutal and relentless as it sounds. 🧟

This was not a target race. It was not on the training plan. A***n simply decided to show up and see what happened.

What happened was 13 loops and 54 miles covered!

💥BIFF!💥

54 miles. On a whim. As a training run. On a course with roughly 500 feet of gain and loss per loop. And to make it even more impressive, A***n ran this same event in 2024 and absolutely blew his previous result out of the water.

Here what makes this truly wild. A***n is not training for backyard ultras. He is in the middle of building toward the Rebecca Mountain 50 Miler and then the legendary Pinhoti 100 Miler. Every single thing he does right now, including jumping into a spontaneous 54 mile sufferfest, is another brick in the foundation of something enormous being constructed in real time.

We cannot wait to see what A***n does when he actually lines up for his goal races. Stay tuned because it is going to be something special. 👀🧡

NOW THAT IS HOW YOU SHOULD START YOUR DAY! 🙌 Several members of the team hit the pavement this morning for a straight-up, old-fashioned, tempo run. 🏃‍♀️🏃 There's not much better than running fast and far with your teammates. Nice work eveyrone!

08/18/2026

1600m repeats was the name of the game today! 🙌 This crew has big goals for their fall races and as we all know, fall PRs are made in the summer. 💪 Who else got in some Tuesday speedwork?

🥇 MEDAL MONDAY RACE REPORT 🥇

Today's report is not about finish times or PRs. Today is about something far more important. Today is about community, love, and honoring a life that touched so many. 🧡

This past Friday evening, Resolute Runners Julie Jones, Kabeer Ahmed, Anna Hurst, and Coach Steven Estrada made the trip to Cullman, AL to participate in the Christina Chambers Twilight 5K, an event created to honor the life and legacy of Christina Chambers, a Cullman native, an avid runner, and a vibrant spirit whose light left this world far too soon.

As the sun set and the lights came on, the community came together to celebrate Christina's love of running and the strength she embodied. Glowsticks in hand, runners and walkers of all ages took to the course under the evening sky, united by something bigger than a race. They were united by love, by remembrance, and by the belief that the best way to honor someone who loved to run is to lace up and run. 🌙✨

All net proceeds from the race benefit her son, Constantine, and local charities, helping carry forward the legacy of love she left behind.

That is beautiful. And it is exactly the kind of event the running community shows up for.

We are so proud of our Resolute Runners and Coach Steven for making the drive to Cullman to be part of this special evening. This is what being part of a running community truly means. It is not always about racing. Sometimes it is about showing up, being present, and saying with your feet that a life mattered.

To the Chambers family and everyone who poured their hearts into making this event possible, thank you. The entire Resolute Running family stands with you. 🙏
