Griffith G.

I am a USATF Level 1 Certified coach. I work with athletes of all ages and abilities. I have competed and worked with athletes at the NCAA Division 1 level. I specialize in distance running in events from 1500m to marathon.

I ran at Syracuse University in NCAA Div 1. I was a member of 2 Big East XC Championship Teams and 1 ACC XC Championship team. We finished Top-10 at the 2013 NCAA XC Championships. I run professionally now for Zap Fitness/Reebok. I finished 3rd at the Peachtree Road Race open race this year and qualified for the 2016 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials with a 63:27 half marathon in Houston this year.

A session with me, as with any distance coach, involves getting to know the individual and their running background. Then I take a look at their stride and determine if there are any immediate needs for improvement there. Then we establish a training plan. From then on we can formulate workouts and long runs specific to each athlete's goals.
