Essential Books for Running Coaches

A weekend or online certification is only the beginning of being a running coach. Run coaching requires a commitment to continual education and refinement of your training philosophy. The best approach? Read everything you can. These books are what I (and from what I have read, many other coaches) consider the essential texts for running coaches who train distance runners on the road.  Daniels’ Running Formula by Jack Daniels Daniels’ Running Formula is one of the seminal works of ...

REVO2LUTION Running Certification

If you have read my blog before, you will know that I am a grade-A run nerd.

As I put together all of the information for the Fall 2016 Marathon Training Group and grow my coaching business, I read everything I can about running.
