Good afternoon and welcome to a special addition of Coffee & Chat with the Coach.
Life has been a bit upside down for me lately and I apologize for lacking consistency with my chat. With fall looming, there is absolutely no reason not to get those running feet moving! Lots of good races all over and still lots of time to train. Coach Davis continues to be frustrated with an annoying calf, and it kills me to not be out running. I will overcome, and you can bet I will be back running as soon as my calf allows.
While I have been limited in my running, I have finally completed my Road Runners Club of America Level II coaching certification. Currently across the country there are 50 Level II coaches, so is nice to be a part of that limited number. What does being a Level II certified coach mean? Just that I learned some more good stuff that will help with runners we work with. Probably not big news for anyone, but nice to have done it.
Wednesday at 6pm, we will begin our Seacoast Half Marathon training group. The flyers say Henry Law Park is our meeting place and unfortunately there will be some musical activity going on there, so we will meet on the side walk and move to the field behind the bandstand. This group will train runners that can comfortably run 4 miles to complete the 13.1 distance in November. The group will meet Monday’s, Wednesday’s (6pm) and Saturday’s (8am), and the training will include track & hill workouts, strength training direction and of course long runs. The cost is $99.00, and you can sign up at: https://nofinishlinerunning.com/halfSignup. Great opportunity for any level of runner and will be a lot of fun. Come run around Dover with NFLR!
Have a great week and hope to see you week and God Bless!
Mike
