Running a half marathon is no easy task and Coconut Grove residents, Chris and Sandy P. can attest to that. Chris and Sandy are preparing for the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon on November 13 and they know that preparing to run 13.2 miles requires a disciplined training regimen. 

To prepare for their long distance venture, the husband and wife enlisted the expert help of Fitness Together Miami personal training. At FT's Coconut Grove location, they are each working one-on-one with their trainer, Garrick Adams. Garrick has created an individualized workout program for Chris and Sandy that focuses on their strengths and weaknesses to prepare them for the upcoming race.

"Its important to treat each client as an individual for him or her to get the best possible results," says Garrick. "For example, Chris needs more core work and leg strengthening whereas Sandy's primary focus is staying accountable and maintaining motivation." Garrick's motivation for his clients goes beyond the scope of their Monday/Wedesday/Friday workouts - he actually enrolled in the half marathon himself!
