Training Marathoners and Half Marathoners

Over the past year, I've had the pleasure of training 21 folks for half-marathons through the Clarksville YMCA for the Go Commando Half Marathon and for the Country Music Half Marathon.  Here is a pic of a few of the people in the Go Commando group:

It was such a great group!  We all had matching shirts made.  I wound up running at least 10 miles of the race with my youngest trainee, who was just 15 years old.  He finished in 2:11!

I also worked with three personal training clients, including Amber, who ran her first marathon in under 5:30 despite another runner literally running over her and causing a stress fracture in her foot at the start! 

If you are interested in PERSONAL TRAINING, the cost is $35 per month.  I will write you a customized training plan, not a cookie cutter plan like the ones available online for free.  You also have constant communication with me through email and texting for accountability!  I can guide you in dressing for the weather, nutrition and hydration on the run, pacing, running safety, and more!

I will be leading a HALF MARATHON GROUP through the YMCA beginning in July 2014 for the Go Commando Half Marathon.  Cost is $100 for non-Y members and $75 for Y members.   It is called 13 weeks to 13.1.   If you can run or run/walk or just walk four miles, I can get you half-marathon ready by mid-October!
