Read about Steve’s running and quality of life improvement here:

I wanted to thank you and share a story about running that I think you’ll enjoy.

As you know, I have been doing triathlons for the last few years and I’m always looking for ways to improve my performance.

Coming to Innovative Results after taking a 12 month break due to injury has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.

I’ve been able safely gain my strength back in order to keep myself injury free going forward.

The fun and self confidence I gain are just extras!

Last week at our regular Innovative Results workout you had us do some running but it seemed odd to me at the time because we only have 20 meters to work with.

I wondered how we were going to run indoors?

With skill and clarity you (Coach Aaron) explained the processes of running as controlled falling.

My favorite part was the demonstration of what a baby looks like when they learn to walk – you’re really good at it with your daughter’s example fresh in your mind!

The visuals and the exercises combined to make for what ended up being a decent workout (as usual).

SteveStary4What I wanted to share was my recent experience on a run.

I never said I was a FAST triathlete and my running pace has been plateaued at a pace averaging between 9:30 and 10:00 per mile.

As I began my run I said to myself, “Fall forward” and tried to apply the techniques we just learned at the IR session.

I was very comfortable while running, more comfortable than usual.

Then I realized I was enjoying running at a pace that was in the 8:30 per mile range!

At various points on the run I was even able to get into the high 7’s pace.

I have not been running much so I know that much change in performance was not due to pounding out miles, rather it was MENTAL.

I couldn’t tell if my actual technique was really different, but my mental state was.

Instead of trying push my body forward stride after stride I leaned forward and consciously tried to use gravity to my advantage.

IT WORKS!

I have a lot more training to do before I’m back in racing form, but I expect some nice gains next year.

In the meantime, I have some other physical endurance goals to accomplish this Spring and with the support I get from Innovative Result and you (Aaron, Aubrie, Mark, Madison, and Mason) as my coach I have every confidence that I’ll achieve those goals and beyond.

Thanks for your passion!
Steve Stary

Effective Workouts Help Collene Drop 2.2% Body Fat in 1 Month

April 13, 2012 by ptpt 1 Comment

Lost 2.2% Body Fat, and 4.8 Total inches in 1 month! 

“I have so much energy every day and I feel so good about myself!”

Collene Toavs has always been an amateur athlete. She grew up swimming, biking, and trying hard to be a runner. In her mid-20s, she started doing Sprint Triathlons.

The Innovative Results Team and Collene crossed paths at the Long Beach Triathlon in September 2010 expo sporting the IR Battling Ropes and Tractor Tires.

“I was feeling really strong that day, but I’ll never forget how I felt when I picked up that battling rope. It was so heavy!”

Collene later attended a free educational running clinic at the Innovative Results Facility and after months of researching training programs, online Collene gave the IR Team a call.
After her first session, Collene has been fanatical about Innovative Results.  The IR Training team has ‘given the best, most effective workouts, and guided her to a nutrition plan to eat better and help her muscles recover quicker.’  

Collene has been part of the Innovative Results family since April 2011 and continues to compete in races.

“I could have never done it without training at Innovative Results. The intensity, strength, and core exercises that I do there improved every aspect of my body and prepared me for performance.  The last year has been life-changing for me. The Innovative Results team does amazing work!”

Congratulations Collene!
