"A few years ago I decided to challenge myself by running the Elk/Beaver 50 mile ultra-marathon event. I knew that I also wanted to finish the event feeling great and so I looked for a coach that would help me accomplish the goals I had set out for myself. The first person that came to mind was Mike Suminski. Coach Mike had just previously finished his Leadville 100 mile event and I had the privilege of 'watching' him while he was training for the Leadville challenge. I knew that Mike's experience in ultra distance running, along with is attention to mental focus would help me in my journey.
While training for the 50-miler, Coach Mike provided me with a week to week training program, met with me weekly to discuss my progress, provide insights into mental focus, and discuss any concerns that I might have. I totally enjoyed my training experience. I looked forward to my long runs and hillwork and never felt fatigued or drained by the training load. I feel that I really learned how to focus mentally on the task I had set for myself. I felt strong and in control, both mentally and physically. Under Coach Mike's guidance, not only did I complete my 50 mile event, I also became the Canadian Women's Champion for that particular distance in 2005!!"
