  • You just have to own it. • Our second installment of “How to Spot Someone on a Running Team.” Words by @jennieamandacohen. Illustrations by @jessyscarpone. • #dashingwhippets #dropthehammer #runningillustrations #marathontraining #brunch #runningshoes
  • #WhippetWednesday: Stephen Gnoza • Current or long-term running goal? “The Whippets helped me achieve more than I thought possible in road running, but now I'm pivoting to ultra/trail running. My goal is to complete both Western States and UTMB. It usually takes a few years to get through the points/lottery system, so in the meantime, just making sure I'm ready to run 100 miles when the day comes!”
  • We are so excited to host the Dashing Whippets Track Meet on Saturday, May 11th! Events include 5000, 4x200, 800, 400, Mile, DMR, and 4x400. The meet is open to all and there will be prizes for winners!! (Link in bio to register) 💙💛
  • One of our talented photographers @benkophoto took some incredible shots that truly capture the challenging conditions faced by runners at the @bostonmarathon. 💙💛
  • Dashing Whippet @jeremya101 was the fastest Boston finisher from the 5 Boros. ⌚️2:29:29 • Suffering a low grade stress fracture in January was a game changer for him: “I started taking ‘rest and recovery’ as seriously as my workouts. This allowed me to steadily increase volume and intensity in ways I had never attempted before. The two workouts I relied on most were Canova Ks and MP intervals (e.g. 2x3 & 60min): long, gruelling runs that force the body to learn—and hopefully accept—goal marathon pace.” • “I also relied heavily on my Central Park training partners. Big thank you to Steve, Garrett, Jordan, Charlie, Mike, and all the Whippets who endured those winter sessions! As March gave way to April, I started to hone my goals for Boston. While injured, I didn’t allow myself to think about sub-2:30. Lack of training time, Boston weather, Newton Hills – these thoughts restrained my ambition. Yet the seed had been planted months earlier watching Jordan O’Donoghue compete in NYCM. Whippets never cease to amaze me.” • • #dashingwhippets #dropthehammer #bostonmarathon #marathontraining #roadtoboston #teamworkmakesthedreamwork
  • #WhippetWednesday: Megan Keane ⌚️2:59:59 in Boston 2019 “So much of this race happened before toeing the line in Hopkinton. I’ve now run three marathons (New York 2016, ‘17 and Boston ‘19) and this was the first cycle I fully trained with the Whippets. The support and progress was instantaneous. Starting with my training partner, Young Cho, pushing me to train at 2:55 marathon pace (6:40/mile) after both of us were coming back from injury. If it weren’t for that push, combined with workouts and long runs over so many bridges and hills (a favorite of this cycle was running repeat loops of Harlem Hill), I’m quite positive Boston would have chewed me up and spit me out alive (more than it did, anyways).” • • #racerecap #dashingwhippets #dropthehammer #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #bostonmarathon
  • What a fun and memorable day it was! So many runners showed an incredible amount of courage and grit! A huge thank you to all those who gave support near and far! 💙💛 • 📸: @spencerzidarich
  • 1️⃣ day! 💛💙 @p.anderson555 • “Last year was my first Boston and it was a doozy! I got pulled off the course on a stretcher at mile 19 with hypothermia from the cold temps, monsoon rain and 30mph winds! After 30 minutes of shivering the staff cleared me to finish the race, so I strapped on a heat sheet and gritted my way to the finish. Making it Boston was an impossible dream of mine, and getting another crack at it is not something I take for granted! I’m hoping to get some redemption from last year, but more than anything I am excited and proud to run this prestigious race with my team!” • #bostonbound #dashingwhippets #bostonmarathon #runnersofinstagram #boston #dropthehammer
