BROOKS BEASTS TRACK CLUB

A lot of people don't know this, but Brooks was actually the first shoe company to sponsor a distance training group- the Hansons. Over the years, their commitment to track and field has grown and they decided to start a track group here in Seattle, where they are headquartered. Brooks has done a stellar job of putting together an all-star support system for all of us athletes on the team. Check out more about Brooks and their Run Happy culture at brooksrunning.com.


COACH:
Danny Mackey is the real deal. He combines his plethora of experiences working in human performance labs, designing track spikes, and his science-based approach to training to help each one of his athletes reach their athletic potential. He does this all while rocking these ridiculous boots and on special occasions jorts.

Berkeley Test: In 1998, the Nobel Prize for medicine was awarded for discovering that elevated levels of Nitric Oxide increases performance & endurance. The Berkeley Test uses saliva test strips to help me monitor my Nitric Oxide levels to ensure I'm performing at my peak.
