Helen Francis is Now A CERTIFIED ULTARUNNING COACH

Congratulations to Helen Francis (centre left) who is now a UESCA Certified Utrarunning Coach. It is possible our friendly 15km Saturday runs will be extended. Beware All.

Helen will also be leading a Couch to 5km program at the YMCA.

We know Helen will be a great mentor and more than a coach to many.

 

 

 

 

Welcome setbacks to develop your resilience

________________________________________________


They say the strongest steel is forged in the hottest fire, and that’s why the most resilient runners welcome adversity. Nobody enjoys setbacks, but ultrarunner and philosophy professor Sabrina Little says they’re a key component of our development as athletes. That was one of her main takeaways when she asked: “What Does It Mean To Be Resilient?” Sabrina says our resilience grows when we cultivate the virtues of perseverance, tenacity, and patience in the face of hardship. It requires us to be active and thoughtful in our recovery when things go south, and by addressing our weaknesses through this process, we can come back stronger than ever before. A resilient mindset can be a powerful tool, but it can only take you so far. Success is about balancing persistence with the ability to find the path of least resistance. The bottom line is, researchers haven’t totally quantified how important “grit” is to success, but that won’t stop us from taking this Grit Scale Quiz to find out where we stand.
