Tara Costa Runs NYC Marathon

Tara Costa, the winner of Biggest Loser season 7 is still in tip-top shape after completing the show seven months ago.  Once weighing 294 pounds she is down to a size 8 and she just ran the New York City marathon last week. In her interview with Ok! Magazine she revealed her inspiration for running the race and how she trained in order to finish with a time of 4:23:12. She said that after finishing Biggest Loser she needed a new challenge in order to keep herself motivated so she followed an online training program to get ready for the marathon. She said,

“It was definitely a transition to go from weight-loss mode to training mode.  Initially, I felt like I wasn’t working hard enough in comparison to the workout plan on the show……. I had two rest days a week when I would do yoga or go to a conditioning class at the gym.”

Tara’s new lease on life allows for her to enjoy physical activity instead of just looking forward to drinks at happy hour.  She now likes to get friends together for a fun 5K run on a Friday night and save the drinks for afterwards.  Now that she has run the marathon she hopes to make it a yearly tradition and she’s also thinking about getting into surfing and rock climbing. Way to go, Tara.
