|
Why do you run? |
I started running after a doctor told me to get in shape. I have not stopped since. |
|
|
Describe your best marathon memory. |
The strangest event I ever saw was a runner in the Kansas City Marathon being carried across the finish line. |
|
|
Why do you pace? |
I like coaching runners. |
|
|
Why should someone run in your pace group? |
I can get climbers to the summit; I can get runners to the finish line. |
|
|
Any tips for runners about to join your group? |
Do not over dress. It is better to stay slightly cool rather than getting over heated. |
|
|
Anything else you’d like to share? |
Divide the marathon in quarters. First: warm-up; second: get in a grove; third: keep good form; forth: focus on the finish. |
