Prancer


3rd fastest woman in America
 We have had the privilege to work out with some very talented people. Occasionally, we will call in gun slingers to raise the level of the workout. We added a couple of young studs to the workout last Tuesday to get our girls ready for competition this past weekend.

Dave Baker discovered Prancer on a bus almost 5 years ago. Until recently, she has been a complete pain in the ass to train. She was undisciplined, unruly, disruptive and inconsistent.

Another Dave had a little talk with her last year. Something clicked and EVERYTHING about her training changed. She hasn't talked back in a workout since. She is consistent, smart, thoughtful and works out every day with a specific purpose. The amazing thing is, she really hasn't been running or exercising that much more. The change was in her head. The thinks and acts like a Champion.

Prancer nearly won the USATF National Cross Country Championships. Our fearless darling broke from the gun and challenged the other ladies to come and get her. She ran away from the pack and held the lead for half the race. While two more experienced racer ran her down, she showed guts and determination and hung on for 3rd place.

Prancer's base training is Boot Camp. We have stated many times in the past that this is the type of training employed by America's top middle distance runners. The days of over-mileage & super high quality have evolved into seeking total fitness through basic training. Americans are finding out that we can not out run Africans, but we can out muscle them. If tough middle miles take the sting out of their kick, we can keep it together down the stretch better with greater total fitness. Gaylen Rupp proved it this year.

Boot Camp training is IN baby. We now have a Nationally Ranked Power House to our credit!
