This former Division I tennis player set her sights on the sport of running after college but setbacks almost had her sitting on the sidelines.
"I'd run a lot, I would get hurt, I would rest. I would run, get hurt, rest, and I felt like I was kind of trapped in this cycle of repeated injuries and nothing was really making it go away," she explained. "And I wasn't even sure why it was happening in the first place. So when I decided that this was the year I was going to take on the marathon, I knew I had to do something different.
HSS offers any runner, new or seasoned, services like running mechanics and metabolic analysis, as well as personalized training plans because as Coach Kate says it's never one size fits all. "It's a hard mindset adjustment going from like I want to do my miles, I want to follow the plan to a T, but realizing that that may not be what's best for you and I think that was an important shift that I had to take during this time," Laud added.Elizabeth says she'll lean on what she's learned at HSS and the energy of her friends, family, and Coach Kate cheering her on as she races toward the finish line.
