Coach Wayne

After many years of running I am finally doing some training for my core and upper body. I have read articles, listened to lectures, discussed it with fellow runners, but never did anything to improve these areas. Shame on me! Sure I did some cycling and swimming and enjoyed both of those activities. Recently, my friend and fellow marathoner, Wayne Talbott, began a program to help me improve my core and upper body strength. I was never a "gym" type person working on indoor equipment. So my twice a week workouts in Bluejacket Park are ideal. I knew I needed this training in order to make a successful attempt at a BQ. I didn't know if I was going to like "pumping iron". As it turns out, with 10 weeks of workouts, I am enjoying this new endeavor. I have a long way to go, but I can feel an improvement already. So, I will keep this up and hopefully by the time I run my half-marathon in October, this training will help me reach my time goal. Thanks, Coach Wayne.
