Hey, i am 19 and i am looking for a cheap coach. Post your going rates, give me some backgrounds on your athletes, coaching philosophy, whether or not you include core and or strangth work, ect cetera(Whatever you you want to add). A little about myself, i came from a high school of delinquent coaches, meaning the didn't know damn. My track coach would barely let us out of the track! If she did it would be two miles at the longest. She also told me to always run my hardest so i did, and including we always did track work, it sucked man. Doing 400 meter repeats three days in a row sucked, it made me dread going to practice! Then my cross country coach, he knew a little more about running even though he was a shot putter back in high school. He would have us run 4-7 miles. Seven being a rare once in a while run, not like every Sunday type, no, rare. Still i ran my hardest on those runs and i quit my senior year and did not participate in track, instead i found a coach online, nice guy, knows his stuff, but then i got calve problems and took off more than a year. Here i am 19, about to turn 20, basing my training atm off of smartcoach on runnersworld, pretty good tool! It explains a lot! But i want a real coach. That coach brought me to a 4:32 mile, 2:02 800 and a 10:01 2 mile. I probabaly could have run faster, but those were all my prs. Right now i have been running for close to five months now, started around june 1st. My last 5k was 2 months ago and before that another two months ago, each one follows 6/7-20:33-2.8 mile course 9/20-20:11-3.1 miles. The next race which is around veterans day, i will be running in the low 19s i predict, time will tell, but i have complete faith i am going under 19:20! If i do then that's a huge step for me! Anyway, that's just a little about me in the past and now the present. Around this time next year i hope to be running in the mid, to low 15s. At the moment i am at 16 miles a week, going aroung 8 minute pace for the easy runs.
