Magdalena Lewy Boulet
Peter Gilmore
Join us for a special evening with Magdalena Lewy Boulet and Peter Gilmore. The two elite marathoners will discuss how to train for a hilly marathon as well as introduce us to their new Bay Area Track Club.
The Oakland Marathon will be a hilly one and as Peter Gilmore put it, it’s “a quad bruiser.” We feel fortunate Magda and Peter will be available to give us their insight on hill training and their marathon experiences.
The Bay Area Track Club was cofounded by Magda Lewy Boulet in an effort to provide the local running community mentoring and guidance in health and fitness through their elite track members. The club consists of the top runners in the Bay Area, ranging from 800 meter Track Champions to Olympic Marathoners. Innersport and Press Play are honored to be medical partners for The BATC and look forward to supporting BATC through our sports medicine services, knowledge, and volunteering.
Dr. Jessica Greaux of Press Play Analysis and Innersport will be providing a brief sample video of running gait analysis and the importance of diagnosing and eliminating the weak links and biomechanical dysfunction. Our goal is to keep runners and other athletes participating in sport as long as possible, injury- free. For more detailed information on the analysis, please click here. We also specialize in performance therapy, Pre-hab, and sport-specific strength and conditioning.
