Running and Coaching Experience
|
|
|
I ran competitively for over 25 years, starting at the age of 13
in a youth track and cross country program (Cary Express, Cary NC).
In High School, I was a State Champion in Indoor Track (3200M) and
Outdoor Track (1600M) before moving on to North Carolina State
University, where I competed, unremarkeably, for my first 2 years of
college. I migrated into triathlons for several years before getting
back into serious running in my late 20s. Since that time, I have
gradually moved up in distance, having now won more than 20 marathons
and ultramarathons, as well as numerous shorter road and trail races.
I was self-coached for the last 18
years of my running career. As one of the founders of Team CRUD, I've been able to share my
love and knowledge of running with numerous runners, both novice and
experienced over the last 7 years. We must be doing something right,
because Team CRUD members over the last 7 years have had a 90%
finishing rate at the Leadville 100 (versus a 43% finishing rate for
the field as a whole). I'd love to share my ideas and knowledge with
you as well, regardless of whether your goal is beating the cut-offs,
winning your age group, or setting a course record.
