.IfICan79 first met Milania Cadrain three years ago: “We were fast friends, since we both skateboarded to get around.”
“As I’ve been building up distance on the board, I’ve noticed that my shoe gets worn out much more quickly,” said Koch. “So to give my foot a break, I do a lot of stairs.”
Because he pushes his foot off the ground to speed up and drags it behind his board to brake, his shoe takes a serious beating—particularly on high-volume weeks, such as the 150-mile training week he did in Banff National Park earlier this summer.Because it was drizzling throughout the Edmonton Marathon, Koch said his shoe and sock was drenched for most of it, causing a pretty nasty blister.
“I’ll find a staircase—usually in my house or whatever hotel I’m staying at—and do 40, 60, 80, or 100 flight repetitions at a time,” he said. “Sixty flights usually takes me about an hour. It’s much better cardio-wise than just jumping on the board.”, by doing several practice 5Ks, finishing the time trials between 45 and 50 minutes. On race day, however, Cadrain finished much faster than her practices predicted.
“There were plenty of people who came in behind Milania,” Koch said. “To say I was proud of her is an understatement. It was an awesome day.”Hailey first got hooked on running news as an intern with Running Times, and now she reports on elite runners and cyclists, feel-good stories, and training pieces for Runner's World and Bicycling magazines.
