Some athletes collect medals. Jonathan Lyau collects decades.

We had the honor of welcoming Jonathan () into The Athlete’s Forge recently — one of Hawaii’s most legendary runners, stepping into our MotionMetrix 3D gait analysis system with one clear mission:
Sub-3 hours. Again. In his 60s.

Let that sink in.

Jonathan ran his first sub-3 marathon in 1980 — as a high school teenager. He’s since done it in 5 decades of his life — his teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. All at the Honolulu Marathon. He’s currently #4 all-time for the longest span between first and last sub-3 marathon. One more puts him at #1.

Beyond the times, he’s a Hall of Famer, a coach, a teacher, and one of the most generous contributors to the running community this island has ever seen — 17x top Kamaaina at Honolulu Marathon, 2x Great Aloha Run champion, 100,000 lifetime miles, and still giving back daily through Personal Best Training, Iolani School cross country, and the Aloha Cross Country Camp.

This is why we do what we do at The Athlete’s Forge. Not just to optimize performance — but to honor the journey of athletes like Jonathan who show us what’s possible when you pair passion with consistency.

We are honored to support you, Jonathan. Let’s get that record. 🤙

Calling all Coaches!!

You push your athletes. You watch their form. You study their splits. But what if you could see exactly what’s holding them back — in real raw data?

At The Athlete’s Forge, we use MotionMetrix 3D Gait Analysis to give you and your athletes something most programs never have: objective, clinical-grade movement data captured at real training speeds.

Symmetry. Loading patterns. Ground contact time. Braking forces. All of it — quantified and delivered in a report you can actually coach from.

Bring your athletes in. Let the data do the talking. Let’s build something together. 🤙

Free training advice is everywhere. And it’s costing you everything.

That viral IG program? It wasn’t built for YOUR gait pattern.

That AI-generated plan? It can’t read YOUR metabolic response.

That “normal” post-race soreness lasting weeks? Your body’s asking for help.

Here’s what 25+ years as a DPT has taught me: You are not a template. Your biomechanics, genetics, and fueling needs are as unique as your fingerprint. Cookie-cutter training creates compensations you can’t feel… until you’re hurt.

At The Athlete’s Forge, we don’t guess. We measure.

MotionMetrix 3D gait analysis. INSCYD metabolic testing. VALD force production. Then we build protocols that fit YOUR body—not someone else’s highlight reel.
Testing doesn’t cost thousands. But training blind? That costs you races, recovery time, and the performance you’ve been chasing.

Your body is smarter than any algorithm. We just help you speak its language.

We found something wild:
Most athletes are running blind—pushing harder without knowing how their body actually moves. 🌊
That’s where things break down. Injuries. Plateaus. Burnout.
At Athlete’s Forge Hawaii, we bring MotionMetrix to the Islands—30 seconds on the treadmill, and you see your complete 3D biomechanical profile. Running economy. Joint loading. The invisible forces that make or break performance.
No markers. No lab coats. Just you, the data, and your path forward.
This isn’t another assessment. It’s the beginning of your hero’s journey. 🔥

We are holding our monthly block party tonight, Saturday 8/26, in our parking lot from 6pm-10pm. This month's event is special, as we are collaborating with our neighbors Hana Koa Brewing, F45 Training Ala Moana, and Alii Animal Hospital to host the Hana Koa Surf Pup Annual Adoption Event. The event will be in our parking lot with music, games, drinks, and food with the proceeds benefiting local dog rescues. Hana Koa is releasing its Surf Pup Gose Ale for a limited release (it's nice!). Alii will have dogs on site available for adoption! Music, Food, Drinks, Friends, Dogs, we have it all! As always, our block party is open to everyone so bring family and friends!

 
Note the parking lot will be closed for the party. There is street parking, parking at Patagonia, and at Whole Foods.

Good to know for us parents.
