Wally completed the MuckFest MS Chicago 5K Mud Obstacle Run.  This is a team race that includes running, crawling and climbing.  Wally said his L2 Performance Training Sports Conditioning Program really helped: “All of the crawling training really helped me.  Spider crawls training worked awesome.  My team said I was like a monkey.  So I think our Sports Conditioning training and our running training program did it.   I wasn’t even sore after the event!”  Read more about Wally’s journey here.

 

Catherine ran the Lisle Windrunners 10K. 

Anthony completed the Chicago Spartan Sprint Race.  This was a major accomplishment for Anthony as he has been plagued by injuries in the past and did not think he would be able to compete in this event.   Anthony said “I am very excited and I think I am that much closer to cracking the code to running. Thank you again for the advice.”
