Dear Running Niche Friends,
We have a few “newsworthy” items this month to share. As we move into late fall many runners have their goal races on tap and leading into those jump in some races as tune ups.

Team Running Niche was quite active recently at the Lafayette Square Patriot Mile and the Mo’ Cowbell races. 25+ TRN’s participated in each event. Shown here below is our team pics from each event.

Adam Walker of TRN took the overall win in the Patriot Mile in 4:32 and won the Mo’ Cowbell Half Marathon in 1:09:57. Marie O’Leary also won the Mo’ Cowbell Half Marathon in 1:20:31. We’re proud of all TRN’s, all 25+ of them, who ran in each event. In particular Justin Kolker who achieved a new marathon PR of 4:32:38, an improvement of over 20 minutes! In his goal race. This was his 2nd Lydiard cycle and he was very consistent in hitting his workouts and managing the ups and downs. It all came together on race day!

We also want to congratulate TRN’s Kelly Olson who earned her BQ at the Geneva Last Chance Marathon. She ran 3:14:59, set a new PR by 5 minutes and punched her ticket to Boston. Kelly too was very consistent in her Lydiard training cycle and absolutely nailed her pacing work. It paid off big time in her race as she executed perfectly and had a classic Lydiard negative split.

New Arrivals
We’re receiving new fall products each week now. Recently the New Balance Fuel Cell Rebel v3 and the Saucony Triumph 20 hit the shop. Rebel is a lightweight, responsive shoe for shorter, faster runs and the Triumph is an ultra-bouncy long aerobic run shoe. Both are good upgrades from the prior model.
