Sometimes it takes an outsider to recognize the talents of a person. A coach can provide the direction and the training plans, but it will take the athlete themselves to execute the plans. It takes years to see the full results, and you can expect there will be setbacks. Gabriela Trana is an international athlete who was born in Alajuela, Costa Rica. Growing up, she never dreamed she would be a flag bearer for the Costa Rican team during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
Trana, however, is a two-time Olympian.
She’s a three-time finisher of the Army Ten-Miler (2009- 3rd 59:08, 2010 – 4th 58:31, and 2012 – 10th 58:25), and she’s chosen to share her running philosophy with you.
