About LTF

LTF began when we observed post-collegiate athletes lost in their health and fitness journeys. After doing some research, we learned that student-athletes struggle exercising beyond retirement from competitive sports. From our perspective, this is mostly due to not having the same level of coaching, workouts, and competition-driven goals as in college.

Additionally, we noticed a rise in popularity in online training plans. While online training plans are beneficial, many of them do not instruct on the core fundamentals of mobility and agility. This showed us the lack of education in the industry on essential movements that can help people avoid injury and improve athleticism.
‍
So we created LTF, where we would teach and put emphasis on mobility exercises, agility drills, and running mechanics, through track & field training.

The creation of #TrackTuesdays came about when we decided to race the Santa Monica Classic 5k as a team. LTF brought together a group of six people with varied running backgrounds — some with none — and every Tuesday, we coached them on a speed workout along with a proper warm-up and cool-down. 
‍
Throughout the process, we learned that athletes thrive in community environments, especially during challenging workouts. They feed off each other! So after that very successful 5k race, LTF decided to continue #TrackTuesdays and make them open to everyone. At #TrackTuesdays, we teach plenty of movements to properly warm up the body and train it to run efficiently. Mostly everyone does a similar workout, but adjustments are made for the different athletic abilities.

To keep things exciting and allow athletes to test their progress, we have continued to sign up for races and train as a team. Races are never mandatory though, but they are a fun way to motivate athletes to continue their running journeys and stay active.
