It had been 18 months since @adelesetl last ran a marathon. We spent a lot of time training and racing other distances, anywhere from 3km cross country events to half marathons. But the marathon bug always comes back to us and at 51, Adele had a mission to win the Longford Marathon - a plan we set into place in February earlier this year. We trained over hills and through the rain. We trained through the wind and the hot summer days. We prepared as well as we could to be as strong as possible... and I couldn't have asked for a better segment. Adele finished the race in an astonishing 2:56:15! A time nearly equal to what she ran 18 months prior (2:56:09). She navigated the rolling hills and demonstrated the perfect combination of patience and risk management. Here's what makes this story even better. Adele debuted at this marathon in 2002. Her time was 4:01:30 back then! Well done Adele!!

We’re headed back to the @nycmarathon! Julia Paternain looks to make a wave at this year’s race. This will be her 4th marathon but her first effort at the NYC event. Meanwhile, Kamohelo Mofolo will be celebrating his 21st birthday with a jaunt around the city in what will be his second marathon! We have Coach @dmont330 running his 24th straight NYC marathon - and a host of athletes aiming to find their best on Nov 1st. Keep your eyes pealed for the McKirdy Shakeout announcements for this race and for the rest of 2026! Will we see you in New York?

I know timing is important on Instagram, and I am turning in this assignment late, but I still wanted to share some of the photos @dvgregori traveled across the country to take at the USATF Outdoor Championships in New York City. The 10,000m featured a good number of new faces, and after chilling during the first half, Sydney Vaught put the hurt on everyone by covering the second 5K of the race in 15:21. In her first track national championship as a professional runner, the 23-year-old took home the title. Katie Izzo 🥈and Allie Buchalski 🥉 each notched their best-ever finishes at a U.S. track championship. Cailie Hughes ran the fastest final lap of anyone in the field (67.04) and went from sixth to fourth, and Mikayla Reed, Katie Camarena, Claire Green, Olivia Borowiak, Savannah Shaw, and Erin McDonald rounded out the top 10.

🏴 @bandit has unveiled its roster of 77 athletes it is supporting as part of the Unsponsored Project, for athletes without major shoe contracts. Started in 2023, the Brooklyn-based running brand has provided athletes at the U.S. Championships and Olympic Trials with an unbranded race kit and cash to help alleviate the pressures of the professional circuit. This year’s roster will compete in 19 events, from the 100m to the 10,000m, as well as the jumps, throws, and heptathlon. To date, 12 athlete alum from the Unsponsored Project have gone on to sign pro contracts.

Happy Fourth of July from Flagstaff AZ. A really cool drone show was in place of fireworks due to forest fire restrictions and an active fire in Sedona.

Yep… I’m looking at you! Let’s have a serious chat on your recovery pace… because frankly, “I’m not sure it means what you think it means” (another Princess Bride quote…) One of the aspects of fitness we look at in your training is your recovery pace. How you manage recovery pace can tell us so much about how you felt in the session. Running marathon effort and you can manage 45-60s per mile slower than “marathon pace” and still taking nutrition? FANTASTIC! That’s a good sign you’re where you want to be. Finding that you need to slow down 75s per mile (or slower) just so you can say you hit marathon pace? Well either the weather is getting to you, you’re sick, or maybe you just aren’t as fit as you thought. Either way you slice it, we gotta make some adjustments. Maybe you can handle 10 x 3 min at “5km pace” with a 90s quick jog… Well I have news for you, I bet you are likely MUCH FASTER than you think! We all want to see the paces look good… but it’s the relationship of the effort and the recovery that truly show us where your fitness is. When you are just paying attention to the flashy splits, that can blind you to what’s really happening. Focus on the right targets. #mckirdytrained #training #coaching #development
