Does anyone have any experience with / or has listened to Coach Had speak? I find it very impressive that he coaches a girl that is too young to qualify for the Olympic team, but was still good enough to qualify.
We have a running organization for ages 6 - 17 and thought he would be great to bring in. Anyone have any experience?
Trolling?
Serious question: his website states he has coached 7 different athletes to the Trials. Who?
I find it interesting there are no testimonials on his site.
Mark Hadley is a very engaging speaker and is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to distance running training, particularly youth running and the marathon. Obviously, his work with Alana speaks for itself, what with her having run 2:38 at such a young age.
Incidentally, Mark has been coaching me for many years and has guided me to PRs from 5k to the marathon. His training plans are very affordable, too!
Mark is a detail-oriented coach who will no doubt be a great addition to your camp.

Thank you very much for the info!!!!!!!
I think "coach Had" is breaking his resolution to stay of the message boards. Looks like singing his own praises
I use Coach Had's strategies and plans for my team. They have resulted in the best results. He comes and talks to my team every year before the season starts. I also employ him for consulting services throughout the season. I also watch his video blog, which I highly recommend:

Probably the most underrated coach at the Elite level - and he coaches amateurs for a small fee!
Yes
Daddy loves me dearly. I was just a little bitty girl and he made me a world class runner. I really love running every day around the neighborhood with Daddy behind me on his bike. Thanks Daddy!!!
Probably the greatest coach in the US, if not the World.
Why doesn't he have any testimonials on his website from people using REAL names? Dadley is hitting some desperate times
He is a good Christian.
I thought you'd misspelled "Hadd" but sadly he's no longer with us. I have no opinion about "Coach Had".
The stress and recovery principle isn't working for Alana is it?
5 DNF's at least.
Here's a better principle Mark. Cut the mileage to 40 and run sub 6 minute pace every day. 1 mile warmup, then 5 @ sub 6 for a couple of months.
One of the most stand up guys I have ever heard speak! I highly recommend him to a good Christian group
Psalm 23:1
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He lacks a good deal of knowledge of coaching.

You can also call Bozo, your local clown. Money well spent either way.
How many other coaches coach a 17-year old girl to a 2:38 finish? Simply amazing!
