My Coaching Philosophy
When it comes to running, I believe there are two crucial aspects that are important for any athlete's success. The first part is the physical training component. And to break that down even further, aiming for consistency with your training is extremely beneficial.
My coaching revolves around stacking weeks of solid training over smashing a handful of workouts. The second part of an athlete's success is the mental aspect. With running being so individual and personal, it is so easy to be hard on ourselves. One massive thing I like to remind athletes is that “IT'S JUST RUNNING”. As iconic NCAA DI coach Mick Byrne would say, “If you are not having fun, why are you doing it”?
