Coaching Philosophy

Gary Cohen's running/coaching philosophy emphasizes consistency and steady improvement through a carefully planned, monitored and executed training plan. Most runners, whether novice or elite, need coaching to maximize their running performance.

Gary offers individual professional coaching to all interested runners. It is his goal as your coach to make average runners good, to make good runners great and to make great runners outstanding. Once you select Gary as your coach, you are not coached out of a book or from a program on the Internet. You are guided by Gary who monitors your progress, modifies your program to match your performance, assesses your conditioning and possible injuries. He will suggest races, racing strategy and help with your short and long-term goals. He works in tandem with you to maximize your potential. Each coached athlete receives a weekly e-mail from Gary that include daily running schedules incorporating individual goals and training preferences, race planning advice and general feedback. Additional e-mail and phone communication is encouraged.

Gary can and will coach at a variety of distances from the 5k all the way up to the marathon. If you are interested in finding out more about being coached by Gary Cohen, please contact him via e-mail at marathoner22234@yahoo.com.


Why a coach?

You’ve read magazines, run with training groups, used canned running programs and set up your own training schedule. You may be wondering how to move upward to the next level of faster racing. It’s time to consider a personal running coach. 		 Coaching News
