Week one of the fall trail running clinic kicked off last week with a call to action we referred to as #fearschmear. Community and connection has been at the very heart of PACE for 15 years and despite things looking differently this year, the PACE family hasnt wavered. Youve continued to sign up and support us and trust our team to keep you safe, reach your goals and make this challenging time as meaningful as possible. And together, were doing far more than that. As ...we enter week two I hope your mornings are filled with reassuring, courageous and calm narratives. There is so much more goodness ahead of us & were excited to share it with you all. #mynarrative #fallclinic #coaching #gratitude #pacetrailruns #kelowna #positiveattitudechangeseverything : @jennjg17

Its an exciting day on the PACE scene as we welcome two amazing women to our team! Nicole has been part of the PACE family for almost 7yrs and shares a passion for racing, community and we all know how much she loves to dress up! She is that dedicated volunteer you always see wearing a bacon or bear costume at the summit of the monster climb or in a Shepards outfit or fuzzy goat costume handing out candy at the summit of Old Glory. She is extremely thoughtful, generous and ...has a huge zest for life! Nicole is also humble to her core, despite a long list of accomplishments and years of experience which we are all so excited to share and learn from. Tara has been running with PACE since 2016 and brings a calm, laid back demeanour, but dont be fooled by it because there is no stopping this gal once she puts her mind to something! Tara has made strong leaps and bounds since starting with PACE and continues to look for ways to challenge herself most recently by pursuing a curiosity for stage racing. Tara loves to travel, has a great sense of humour and is a gem of a human. We are stoked to have her trail spirit on the team. Nicole and Tara also share some things in common. They both totally inspire those around them, have absolutely amazing attitudes and when not out running with PACErs, youll find them adventuring with their best buds Abby and Lou. We feel honoured to welcome you both to the team. #pacetrailruns #bestteamintheworld #community #trailrunning #runclinics #coaching #kelowna #leadership #rungoals #mentorship #runclinics #15yearanniversaryofPACE

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. John Wooden Keep it pointed to where you want to go... #positiveattitudechangeseverything #pacetrailruns #hammercan #timetoplayagain

Long steady runs are the heart of endurance training. Its an alluring challenge to endure bigger volumes, longer distances, back to back runs or simply to be able to spend hours exploring on the trails. The purpose is simply time on your feet with the goal of running a steady pace for the entire run. General recommendations are to keep your heart rate around 70% of maximum. A lot of people tend to run these workouts too fast or with their efforts all over the map witho...ut focusing on the steady component. These workouts are also a good time to practice fueling, gear, poles or mimic a specific race profile (when in race season). What sort of endurance training are you doing this weekend?? #coaching #pacetrailruns #endurance #ultrarunning #steady #explore #endure

Whether you think you can or you think you cant, youre right. Henry Ford Lets all head into the weeklong thinking we can #pacetrailsruns #choosemountains #ultrarunning #trailrunning #positiveattitudechangeseverything #HammerCAN #timetoplayagain #salomon

Our first mountain camp was an unofficial camp in 2013 when Trent and I took members of the PACE team and a few athletes who were training for Transalpine Run to Lake Louise. It was a pilot project we used to team build, to train for our upcoming stage race and to see if our dream to share the mountains with others in a camp format could work. Since then we have lead 19 adventurous and memorable camps within the Kootenays, Revelstoke and Lake Louise. To say we feel a void by... not gathering on the tips tops, sharing meals and cold creek soaks this summer would be an understatement. We are, however, totally inspired by all the PACErs who are getting out there, exploring new places and creating beautiful mountain experiences on their own or within their bubbles and look forward to when we can all unite in the backcountry again #pacefamily #pacetrailruns #mountaintime #runvacation #choosemountains #community #seeyounextyear

Registration for our fall trail running clinic opens tomorrow at 8am! Its been a challenging year, however the PACE family has kept each other on a meaningful path and grown stronger since March. We know closing out the year together is going to bring some more highlights and definitely a celebration! The fall is such an important time for athletes and we look forward to being part of this key season as we all reflect on where we came from and start thinking about where were heading. Despite unknowns in the 2021 race season... we are thinking positive and want to be ready and feel good! We have a new format for the fall, which combines some components of virtual platform with the grass roots were known for. Check out our website for full details. Link in bio! : @folkandwild

This photo was taken during the launch of last years fall trail clinic A lot has happened since wrapping up this clinic in 2019. Registration for this years fall clinic opens on August 5th & we are excited about a new outline that blends some of the awesome new components of our virtual platform with more group runs and Wednesday training sessions. The cowbell is coming back!! The PACE family has been so supportive, loyal and has wholeheartedly trusted our team ...with each and every difficult decision we have made since March. We are so appreciative So this fall we are going to focus on gearing up for all the possibilities of 2021 and celebrating how far we have come and all the challenges we have overcome *together*. We are going to close out 2020 with purpose, positivity and promise #pacetrailruns #community #positiveattitudechangeseverything #fallclinic #coaching #purpose #earnyourcheckmark

Its vertical week for the summer trail running clinic athletes. Thanks @merkyminck for the fun motivational artwork by @swatercolour >>>> getthevertbeforethevertgetsyou !! #pacetrailruns #earnyourcheckmark #week6

Bloom because you want to, not because you need to. Chasing a meaningless goal will leave you exhausted and unfulfilled, so choose the things that bring you joy and make you feel good. #followyourpassion #pacetrailruns #travellingmonks #closethegap #earnyourcheckmark #mountaintime pretty little pic: @folkandwild

Happy Birthday Donald!! Those of you who are familiar with our Broken Goat trail race, know it is a tradition to wrap up the race filling this stein with beer and toasting Donald. My grandmother found this stein at a thrift store and on the bottom of the stein it reads: Happy Birtjday Donald. Love Mon & Dad. 1979. Along with all the steins my dad finds on Vancouver Island, this is now how we celebrate every year. I want to thank all our racers, volunteers, partners, team a...nd friends who have supported us this year and who helped make the No Goat, Yes Goat Virtual Run so amazing. We wrapped up the No Goat, Yes Goat Virtual Run with a Facebook live watch party tonight and gave away close to $2,000 worth of prizes from our sponsors and those who reached out to offer support: @rosslander @redresort @hammercanada @salomon @kits4therapy - thank you! #nogoatyesgoat #bethegoat2021 #gratitude #goatfamily #community

Since March our running clinics have gone virtual and we quickly adapted our coaching platform to include weekly challenges, online training plans and much more! The summer clinic was the first clinic we opened it up to folks outside of Kelowna which has been super lovely because it allowed us to connect in a cool way with our extended PACE family. The first four weeks of the summer clinic has been amazing and through story telling and personalized coaching we continue to motivate, mentor, teach and most importantly stay connected with our community. We are so grateful for the support and to feel part of something so positive and special during these challenging times. #forgetourownpath #theoldfarmer #risetotheoccasion #closethegap #earnyourcheckmark #pacetrailruns #summersocial #kelowna

We are so grateful to the goat family and the Rossland community who helped turn this years Broken Goat cancellation into such an awesome celebration! We had 186 runners sign up for our No Goat, Yes Goat virtual run and watched folks absolutely crush their goals. **Runners - please make sure you update the google document with your details before tomorrow! We will go live on the private Facebook page with a live-watch party at >>> 7:30 pm PST <<< and give away some awesome prizes from our supporters and sponsors who donated prizes: @salomon @hammercanada @rosslander @redresort @kits4therapy @pacetrailruns #nogoatyesgoat : @folkandwild
