NOVA Featured Runner: Alexandra Swiatocha|| From C

NOVA Featured Runner: Alexandra Swiatocha||
From Coach Jerry: Most of you may not know Alex too well, since she lives in New York, but since she joined the club a few years ago (along with her brother Greg) she’s been one of our top women and a solid representative of NOVA at many local DC races. She had a really nice year in 2019, running two marathons, including 3:12:08 on at a hot day in Boston and a 3:10:04 at Rehoboth in December. She also ran a 65:23 at Broad Street 10 Miler in May. Alex has serious talent, with lifetime PRs of 1:23 in the half and 3:02 in the full, but also demonstrates remarkable depth, including running (and winning) ultra races such as the “Icy 8” hour race, completing 47.5 miles in 8 hours (equivalent to running 10 minute mile pace for 8 hours straight). With Alex’s strength, talent, and dedication, I’m expecting additional PRs for her in 2020.|| 1) What are your PRs (5k, 10K, Half/Marathon, any others?)
5K:18:54
5 mile: 31:47
10 mile: 1:04:55
13.1: 1:23:30
Marathon: 3:02.57
8hr: 47.5 miles || 2) Goal race(s) for this year? Other races planned?
-Hopefully I’ll do another ultra-marathon this year. I’ve also come to like the 10mile distance too though, so I’ll probably train for Annapolis 10 and Army 10 again. ||
3) What do you consider your best race performance to date?
-Anchorage Marathon of 2010: Maybe not my current PR race, but it was a 20 minute PR at the time. I was living in Alaska did all my training running to and from work and usually taking the long way home. Trained through the dark winter, had some way too close encounters with moose and had my brothers there to watch, Doug was biking from spot to spot, and Greg was running along side me. ||
4) How and when did you find NOVA, and what do you like best about the team?
I didn’t find NOVA. Greg did, and then Doug, and I just tag along for the races and even though I only make it to a few practices a year when I’m visiting it’s still a great group to go to races with. There’s always someone training for something that you can tag along with. || #novafeaturedrunner #novarunningclub

Wednesday Welcome Wagon 👋🏼 || Introducing Ke

Wednesday Welcome Wagon 👋🏼 || Introducing Ken Goedecke, one of NOVA Running Club’s newest members! || Ken was born Houston, Texas and went to high school and college in Tennessee. He has been in the Marine Corps for 23 years and moved to the area in June 2019. Ken has joined running clubs wherever he has been stationed as a way to meet diverse people of all walks of life and extend his network of friends outside of the military. He has run with clubs in New Hampshire, California, and Hawaii, completing a marathon or two a year but preferring half-marathons and 10K's. This year his goal is to run a sub-1:25 half marathon. || K: I cultivate a very strong identity outside of uniform. A big part of that identity is being a runner. || #novarunningclub #wednesdaywelcomewagon
