“The NCA Baseline: A 6 Week Habit Challenge” - we made the lifestyle challenge that we actually wanted to run 🫡

The Baseline is six weeks of paying attention to how we eat, fuel, hydrate, and recover. No weighing and measuring and no labeling food as “good or bad”.

We’re fueling our bodies, building great habits, and learning about what makes us feel good when training hard.

You’ll track the same six foundations each week, and have 6 weeks of support in putting everything into practice. Coach Becca will lead the challenge with the support of two of our very own:
 -Dr. Leticia Andrade (@letiiciaand), an NCA member and dietitian, is bringing the evidence-based “why.”
-Nicole V. Of @niknacksnackattack is bringing the practical “how” through recipes & meal-prep ideas.

No macros. No banned foods. No leaderboard. No perfect weeks required.

Two options to sign up: 1) The Baseline 6-Week Challenge: $109 2) The Baseline AND 90 day of creatine and magnesium from @thornehealth : $159

🗓️ Kickoff Meeting: Saturday, September 19 after classes (not mandatory) 🗓️ Challenge: September 21–November 1

Registration is open now in the NCA App and at the link in our bio!

Summer isn’t going out quietly….NCA FIELD DAY IS BACK: AFTER DARK 🌙
 Friday, August 28 @ 6:00 PM

We’re closing out summer with a partner 5K through the West Side, featuring a weird little NCA challenge at every kilometer. Expect a lotta fun fitness, some good old fashion nonsense, and a choose-your-own-adventure hydration station waiting at the finish 🍻

This is not about running the world’s fastest 5K. It’s about finding a partner and completing whatever challenges we place in your path.

Stick around afterward for drinks, hangs and a potential cornhole tournament AND every participant gets a custom NCA Field Day bandana (which is objectively better than another T-shirt)

Open to members and nonmembers. Sign up with a partner or register solo and we’ll handle the matchmaking!

Registration is LIVE in the NCA app and through the link in our bio 🤘

Favorite race and somehow the least ideal training block at the exact same time🤓

Going into the spring, I had about a dozen athletes who wanted to train for the Buffalo ½ but didn’t want to sacrifice their strength work and skill training at NCA. So we dove in: dialed in goals, built a program that fit directly into our strength cycles, and got after it.

There’s a lot of noise about “hybrid athletes” right now, but balancing real strength work with conditioning isn’t new. It just takes intentional programming, an experienced coach, and consistent athletes.

The fitness this group built honestly blew me away. Lifting PRs, new gymnastics skills, race PRs, longest distances ever, confidence, resilience, fueling, mental toughness…all of it. The best part though was nobody took themselves too seriously. This crew was transparent, vulnerable, supportive, and goofy as hell the entire time. Certified silly geese, if you will 🪿

I put each of their initials on my shoelaces for race day because THEY are what made this so damn special.

What I didn’t expect was how much joy they’d bring back to running for me personally. After more than a dozen halfs (pre-Strava Wild West), a decade+ of social running @bflorunclub, and a severe ankle injury two years ago, running had honestly lost a little of its luster. Somewhere along the way, this group gave it back.

As an athlete, this wasn’t my ideal training block. Luna has been very sick since February, owning a business takes priority over all else 99% of the time, and a small accident earlier this week left me pretty beat up heading into race day (TY @atingeofminge // @buffalo.phac for fixing me up). Times like this remind me how grateful I am for years of consistency in
fitness. It’s never perfect and it never will be, it doesn’t happen overnight, but consistency over years will always outweigh short periods of perfection.

I am so damn proud of this crew and am endlessly grateful for the entire NCA community that showed up for us this weekend. On the course, at the cheer station, tracking from home, and everywhere in between 🥹🤘🖤
