Why you decided to be a coach this year: I want to assist others in reaching their marathon goals. Coaching is a fun way to be active in the club.
Running history: I have completed five marathons to date (Columbus, Pittsburgh, 2 Marine Corps, & Boston). I competed in high school and college cross country and track. Now, I just run with DCRRC for fun. On average, I run between 30-75 miles per week. I love the freedom from the world when running.
Top 3 Marathon Training Tips:
-Stick to your plan
-Don’t go out to fast, you will be rewarded in the back half
-Don’t over dress
Preferred Running Fuel: GU. It’s what I started on.
Age: 29
Hometown: Pittsburgh (Home of the Super Bowl Champs)
Occupation: Financial Analyst
Random fact: Birds are the only animal that can dance to a beat other than humans. If you ever saw me dance, I bet there is a parrot with better moves.
Coaching philosophy: Run hard, but run smart.
Famous person you'd most like to run with: Marla Runyan. I think we would have some similar stories.
