SERVICES
Simplified Running Coaching Services is focused on assisting runners accomplish their goals - be it to run their first 5K or 10K, perhaps their first half or full marathon, or to improve their existing times or appreciation of the sport of running. Included in the programs are the setting of goals and development of detailed training plans, weekly reviews and plan adjustments, as well as ongoing education on various topics affecting your running performance. Throughout the programs, all concepts, approaches, and principles utilized are fully explained in order to maximize your learning and "simplify" the running experience for you. The running community is great and most runners are willing to help others. What differentiates Simplified Running from other services is the fact that I am working with you, every step of the way, providing consistent and ongoing advice with your goals in mind.

HIGH SCHOOL GUIDANCE
If you are a high school student looking for advice or guidance, please contact me. I do not charge high school students for my help!! It is one of the small ways I try to give back to the community. I want to advance the sport, encourage participation and help students start off on the right foot.
