Around this time last year I took my first strides toward being an endurance runner. Tonight, I will pass my lessons forward as a coach for the Nashville Running Company’s “Couch to 5K” program.
The group will meet on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and while it is in direct conflict with my Ironman training, I feel a deep sense of gratitude to everyone who encouraged me when I started. Now, maybe I can inspire someone to change their world.
We’ll start with the same 5 minute warm up walk, followed by intervals of 60 second runs followed by 90 second walks. A year ago, that seemed daunting, tonight, I look forward to the break, meeting aspiring runners, and the opportunity to work on my running form.
In theory, I should go straight from the run to the Y for a swim, but that remains to be seen. In fact, maybe I should start a couch to pool class while I’m at it!
I think this is absolutely awesome and look forward at some point being able to help others acheive their goals…
Way to give back and be an inspiration!
Thanks, man! Appreciate your support as well!
