TRAIN FOR YOUR BEST DAY
After 35 years of training, racing, and 25 years of coaching, I have a tremendous wealth of knowledge on how to have your best day.
I focus on the body, the brain and a positive attitude. Surrounding yourself with hard working, fun people who view triathlon as a healthy life style hobby, not an obsession
If these three aspects are not healthy, then the numbers, data, power gadgets and spread sheets are not going to be of any use

Sheri’s knowledge of how to keep the “mature” athlete moving is simply the best. Her approach - emphasizing the importance of balance, mobility, strength, and good form - keeps an athlete functioning for the long term. Having known Sheri since 2006, I have had many years of uninjured racing under her coaching. More recently, I turned to Sheri again for help with a 2 year-long chronic ankle/Achilles issue that others had failed to help me with. After working with Sheri, doing her Re-Run program, I was back running again pain free. Thanks, Sher!

RUN CLINICS This 5-6 hour clinic will teach you how to run more efficiently and with less effort, with correct posture and alignment, and with more focus. This is for ALL levels
The principles of any endurance event are based on energy efficiency and injury prevention. By aligning your body in a forward direction, engaging a strong core, leaning and then relaxing, it is amazing how easy running can be.
We spend hours repeating drills in the pool or practicing a golf swing yet very few people focus on their running technique. Running is a weight bearing discipline that creates the most wear and tear on the body, so it makes sense that we find the most efficient way to enjoy our runs without pain and discomfort. Muscle weakness and imbalances are the major cause of injuries and unless these chronic issues are addressed, it is likely that running will be a constant struggle. Typical injuries are plantar fascitis, shin splints, piriformis and sciatic pain, tight ITB, knee and knee pain
We have now taught hundreds of runners to become more aware of proper posture and technique.

INDOOR BIKE TRAINING
All Bike class coaches are experienced, active athletes, motivated to be fit and…lots of fun!
These classes are for ALL levels of athletes, from Tri-a-tri to Ironman and all ages. They are also beneficial as cross training workouts for runners, swimmers and pretty much any sport.
We concentrate on biomechanics. technique and form, riding relaxed, changing gears, proper seating, power, leg position, and cadence. Each week we will cover different aspects of training and racing, stretching, self maintenance, injury prevention, core, heart rate, nutrition, sweat loss, pacing, tapering, picking your races, weights, etc.
We will be doing drills and some alternative type speed workouts that will help out your running as well.
We gradually build on endurance and strength. The workouts start easy and gradually the sets get longer and more intense as the weeks pass.
You can work at whatever pace and level that works for you. Set the tension on the trainer as hard or as easy as you like. The first few weeks will be for the new riders to get comfortable on their bikes. Our course focus is on progression, once you are comfortable we will be increase the work to match your personals goals.
CORE AND BALANCE CLASSES
Unless it is a trauma [ie falling off your bike or rolling an ankle on trails] postural imbalances and a weak core are usually the cause of injuries. If you sit at a desk all day, stand all day or have a job with repetitive motion, AND especially if you are over the age of 40, it is important to fight the inevitable imbalances that will cause injuries.
Most triathletes do not need yet another activity to get the heart rate up - Slow isolated movement with focus are much more difficult than flipping tires and throwing boulders up a hill
