Why do you run?
|
Running
clears my head, purges stress, and provides for me a sense of physical
strength and bodily wellbeing that I can’t get from any other activity. Running
also provides for me an outlet for my competitive nature that’s healthy and
constructive. I also enjoy meeting and bonding with fellow runners not only
from where I live but also from across the country.
|
Describe your best marathon memory.
|
My best
marathon memory was qualifying for Boston for the first time at 2013 Poconos
Run for the Red marathon after missing qualification the previous weekend by
5 seconds at the Cox Providence Marathon.
|
Why do you pace?
|
To meet
and help my fellow runners achieve their race goals while I’m achieving and
my training objectives. It compliments my marathon training plan as I have
several 26+ training runs planned before each BQ attempt.
|
|
|
Why should someone run in your pace group?
|
Do you
have a race goal to achieve? Your odds increase substantially if you run
with me. I will verbally encourage
you to continue forward making every mile a win! I know every water stop
and GU stop and may carry an extra GU package or two J. I also like to
leverage your fellow pace group runners to help support you as well.
|
Any tips for runners about to join your
group?
|
Make
clear to me if this is Boston
Qualifying attempt or a PR attempt. Let me know to what extent you want to
be pushed during those last six miles.
Your taper provides huge race day performance benefits, don’t skip
it! Enjoy it and take it easy!
|
Anything else you’d like to share?
|
Please,
hydrate well and Carb load two days before your marathon! Celebrate the
night after and not the night before your marathon. Don’t forget your chaffing preventive
treatments.
