Lex W.

I am currently a teacher at Denver Public Schools. I have coached NCAA Division I, high school, and middle school athletes ranging in events from 800m to 10,000m. The past two years I was the Head cross-country coach for the Regional Champion Dexter High School Boys in Michigan. Prior to that, I spent two years as an Assistant Cross-Country and Track & Field coach at Illinois State University. I have been involved in the sport of distance running for 18 years and still compete professionally!

A typical workout session depends greatly on the individual athlete, your goals, lifestyle, and time constraints. However, my overall philosophy is that better athletes make better runners. I try to incorporate dynamic movements into a warmup and focus on building strong, healthy runners. Weekly mileage and workout volume depend completely on your individual running background and goal event(s).
