Joe Emerson ("Cross train on your days off.")

Name:   Joe Emerson 
Why you decided to be a coach this year: To give back to the club that has done a lot for me.
Running/Racing History:  I have run 3 marathons: 2 Marine Corps and 1 Richmond.  I run 25-30 miles per week, which keeps me fit.  I'm hoping to run 50-60 miles per week this summer and fall.  Ten mile races (Cherry Blossom and GW Parkway Classic) are my favorite distance.
Top 3 Marathon Training Tips:  
   
1-   Make hill running a part of your training.
2-   Take a long nap on Saturday afternoon after a long run.
3 -  Cross train on your days off.
Preferred Running Fuel:   Hammer - HEED lemon-lime and apple cinnamon gel
Age:  43
Hometown:  Easton, MD
Famous person you'd most like to run with:   Alan Webb
