WEEK 4
As July nears its end, Mary Beth is pushing herself in her SOMs towards the homestretch of preparing for the World CrossFit Masters Championship. Watch her crush the sled drag.
WEEK 3
Mary Beth's training is going well. From week to week, she's finding a safe and effective balance between current capacity and workout load. If these two elements are out of sync, it can lead to injury, so it is critical to find a healthy dance between the two. She says, "It is challenging. But every workout, my SOM shoes meet the challenge."
WEEK 2
Mary Beth is hard at work training all aspects of her body and mind for the upcoming competition. The biggest challenge of the CrossFit Games is that athletes don't know what the events will be ahead of time, so you must prepare for anything. She loves weightlifting in her SOMs because their zero drop soles with wide toe-boxes allow her feet to be comfortable and level for safe and confident lifts.
WEEK 1
This year, she is competing in her new category: 60-64 age group. She said the challenge is there and real with ferocious women who have the same goal as her. This is what she loves, competing against women who have the same drive as her. There is nothing better to improve what you do day after day.
She has said that her SOMs helped her qualify for the Games, and everyday she trains in them, her feet feel better and better. “I just ran almost 6 miles in my SOMs! Never once did I think about foot pain. That is not how it used to be in other brands.”
