On Sunday, March 1st, 2026, Napa Tenacious Fitness’ own coach, Alec Cornwell, participated in the Napa Valley Half Marathon. This was his first half-marathon, and he completed it in 1 hour, 56 minutes, and 57 seconds, exceeding his expectations and finishing strong. Coach Alec’s main preparation consisted of one long run over the weekend and two maintenance runs on his days off from the gym. Alongside his runs, he incorporated two to three additional exercise sessions per week, including strength training, joint mobilization tactics, and injury-prevention techniques, to stay strong and avoid setbacks as he prepared for the race.
The race itself was pleasant, with a couple of low rolling hills and great views of the surrounding vineyards and wineries on a foggy Sunday morning in Napa Valley. However, crossing the finish line was the most fulfilling moment for him, serving as a testament to the hard work, dedication, and consistency he put into preparing for and completing the race.
