Fred C.

I have several years experience coaching team sports. I am currently the cross country coach at The Pennfield School in Portsmouth, RI. I have been training myself and two sons for years, and have a thorough understanding of how to train any level of runner for success.

I am an easy-going and straightforward person. I treat all of my athletes as individuals, and strive to bring out the best in that person's abilities.

I use a combination of long runs, recovery runs, tempo runs, hills, speed work, and strides in my training program for runners. I am also a big believer in the importance of dynamic stretching and core work to help strengthen a runner and improve form. In general, I will coach toward helping an inexperienced runner develop a natural form that will make them faster and more efficient with fewer injuries. I'm also knowledgeable on race-day nutrition and proper fueling techniques for longer events.

I will provide a thorough training plan for my runners if they are targeting an individual race. My sessions for individual runners will usually occur in Colt State Park which allows a variety of terrain on which to train.

Fred C. has not provided a session plan.
