Will A.

I have been formally coaching runners for 2 years. My services can be geared toward:
-Beginners to the sport / need help getting started
-Those have tried to train themselves but would benefit from an experienced coach or just need the added accountability of having another person involved in their training
-Competitive runners who feel stagnant with their current program

I have informally coached a handful of runners on my local club for several years, acting as a resource for training approaches, race strategy, and workout leader. This has helped them PR across various ability levels.
I have also coached myself for the last 10 years.

I hold a Level 1 coaching certification with the Road Runners Club of American. I am also CPR and First Aid certified.
