Mocean365 Clean Up and Lean Up Day a sucess









This past Sunday we did a "guerrilla style" trail and cleanup day at the Town Forest In St Johnsbury Vt. I say guerrilla because we JUST DID IT!  We rallied some of our die hard Mocean365 crew, gathered tools and resources and went out and made the forest better than it was. Angel Roy brought and planted some beautiful flowers. Joe Fox came over with a mower and trimmer and along with Mocean Mate' tribe member Will Castle and Mocean365 Team Member Brad Grant, and myself relocated a 15 foot long bridge to a higher and drier spot. Hillary Decarlo swept the yellow trail of trash and debris while Megan Walsh, Hillary, Jen Grant and her son Jack and her nephew buffed out around the pavillion area, getting rid of trash and sweeping and beautifying.
Next up i got the saw out and cleared some trail debris then cut some pieces so we all teamed up to rebuild a problem wet area and construct a new bridge. We also did some armoring and lots of water management work, built ditches and did some selective clearing to let sun in to dry out areas.
 Tracy Gilman and Bill Bennett also helped greatly. After the work, we had a huge feed with some amazing and healthy eats so we could refuel for some fun games. A great day overall and a huge thanks to everyone who came out and participated. I encourage anyone to do the same at their favorite spots!
So remember to come check out the Town Forest and join Mocean365 for a Zone To Zone Action Workout on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-7 ish PM right in St Johnsbury. It is an amazing spot and expect varied dynamic full body conditioning for all levels from beginner to advanced. Cost is 12$ OR do both classes per week and only pay $10 per class.  Hope to see you all there. Call 802-888-6262 with any questions or email me at mocean365@gmail.com

Peak Races McNaughton Ultra

Spring has sprung and the fun, adventures and even a little torture are here.
A few of us recently went down to Pittsfield VT to run in the Peak Races,McNaughton Ultra Trail Run.
One guy who i've been training for a year plus went out and killed it! Chris Thompson showed a lot of heart and drive as he blasted out 3 ten mile laps that had over 2,400 feet of elevation gain per lap and lots of technical up and down.
Got a little antsy the night before the run and the organizer let me head out and do some laps via headlamp. did one lap with Will Castle then headed back out for another before getting a few hours of sleep and limped through another lap due to an injury but got my 30 which is more miles than i've run total my whole life i'm pretty sure. Will woke up the next day and did 3 more laps plus Death Race Training. The kid is on fire!

We were rocking the Mocean Mate' tent, keeping runners fueled up throughout the day and early evening. good times.
big congrats to Chris, Will and big ups to the race organizer, Andy at Peak Races for having us. And we couldn;t have done it without our support crew, Meg and Bethany!

Mocean365 Spring and Summer Programs




Well the long winter up here in north-central VT continues with snow depths still in the waist high range in the woods but we are gearing up for spring anyway. For those of you new to Mocean365, we have switched over to ONLY OUTDOOR TRAINING. That means all winter, all conditions, and the crew has been charging through one of the snowiest winters in a hundred years. Mocean365 has been working with schools, individuals and classes and spreading the stoke of moving the body dynamically 365 days a year.

We combine adventure into all elements of our programs and this spring-summer will be no exception. Want to train for an adventure race like the Spartan Race or get ready to ride your bikes at the Kingdom Trails? Or maybe you  want to increase your joint mobility, coordination and balance so you can chase the kids around or bang nails all day pain free? Mocean365 has an option for all of you and we also are proud to offer nutrition counseling in conjunction with Rootswise Wellness so you can not only work your body to its limit physically but ensure you know how to replenish so you can recover, rebuild and keep making gains. We will be continuing our work with Exuberant Animal ensuring we add moves from the Exuberant Animal handbook that encourage team building and FUN into all elements of our workouts.

We incorporate variety and adventure into every session. You may be using a Indo Board balance board, then a Mocean365 custom designed weighted stick, then climbing a steep sandhill, then walking across a Gibbon slackline, then traversing a slippery side slope in the woods mimicking the animals that live there. You may be using a TRX suspension trainer, then carry a turkish bag, use a  Rubberbanditz resistance band while closing your eyes and balancing on 1 foot then work on basic combat skills, climb a local peak, ride a pumptrack on your mountain bike, meet new like minded people and prepare for whatever life may throw at us! And of course we can drink some Mocean Mate' which is a energy tea created specifically to help you Energize Your Adventures!

Mocean365 can design a custom program for you as an individual, as your own small group of friends and family, as a custom class or we can come to your school, workplace or home and help you move the body the way it was designed. Have fun far away from any gym or "scene", in the great outdoors with a leader dedicated to taking you to your next level, whatever that may be.


Contact us today to get started, we can come to you or you to us but we only work with dedicated people who have made the decision that they want to live a movement adventure 365 days a year. We work on a sliding scale financially as well so NO ONE is excluded due to financial standing. We are looking for passion, not money.
