We also added new zany levels to the run tracker up to 500 miles.

Big thanks to Runners’ World for recommending the MTA Podcast to their readers. See article here.
“If you’re training for 26.2, running coach Angie Spencer and her husband, Trevor, have everything you need to reach the finish line. Having hit the podcast’s 10th anniversary in 2020, the duo provides plenty of training tips, interviews, and reviews of marathons from around the world. (Angie has run one in every state!) While they don’t always bring on guests, runners like Sara Hall, Dathan Ritzenhein, and even actor Sean Astin have all stopped by.”
The medal for the 300 Mile Challenge is our take on a painting called The Scream by Edvard Munch. Do you run munch? Sign up here.
We are excited to announce the 300 Mile Challenge is open for early registration! We took the famous painting by Edvard Munch and added a running twist to it.

You’ve heard of the Mona Lisa . . . let me introduce you to The “Corona Lisa” 100 Mile Challenge. Perhaps my greatest masterpiece! 😆
This will be a unique challenge because it requires you to run (or walk) 100 miles. You accumulate the miles over a certain number of days, the goal is up to you. Some of you will be able to log 100 miles in 1 month, some faster some slower.
We also had a fun online Run Tracker built for you to log your miles, watch your progress, and unlock new digital badges. Plus we added some freebies from Coach Angie on the run tracker page.
Check out my video for all the details:
