Who Am I And How Can I Help?
I retired from competitive racing in 2017 but still mentor athletes online from around the world.
I set my personal best for the marathon distance at the 2007 California International Marathon finishing in 4th place, top American and with a time of 2:19:35.
I've been an active duty military member for going on the past 17 years.
I competed as a member of the United States Army World Class Athlete Program from 2007 to 2010 and earned an Olympic Trials “A” standard time (2:20:00 or better).
Runners want to follow plans from athletes who have lived the life they have, who understand what it takes to run fast and effectively.
They are driven and seek results but also need a plan to make their goals a reality.
I know as I was just like any other runner.
It took me 18 years of trial and error to finally get the marathon distance right.
I also spent another decade chasing to better my 2:19 personal best and couldn't do it.
As you may already well know the faster you run the harder it is to duplicate great efforts.
They say men and women only have so many top level performances in them.
Perhaps that is true but it doesn't mean you cannot continue to improve.
A sub 2:20 marathon is a very difficult time barrier to break just as breaking 4 hours may be to someone else or just preparing to run a marathon in the first place.
My goal from the day I started in 1992 to the day I retired from competing in 2017 was simply to see what I could do in the sport.
It is far more satisfying now being contacted my runners who purchased a RunDreamAchieve training plan and set a new personal best.
What Do RunDreamAchieve Training Plans Look Like?
Below are a few examples of what RunDreamAchieve 16 week marathon training plans look like.
This is just an example and yes, we do have training plans that range from the 5K distance all the way to the marathon distance.
As you can see each week is easily viewable and gives you a clear-cut strategy on what to do
This was the way I was trained and helped me go under the 2:20 marathon barrier.
My coach while assigned to the Army World Class Athlete Program was Lisa Rainsberger.
Lisa won the Boston Marathon in 1985 so I have been trained by the best.
I've also been coached and mentored by world-class coaches Jack Hazen and Dr. Joe Vigil.
Coaches that showed me where my flaws were.
The biggest mistake I was making as a marathoner was running too easy on long runs.
What took me from being a 2:43:36 marathoner to breaking 2:20:00 was increasing the pace of my long runs.
Additionally, the easy recovery phase of training was also just as important.
Remember, it takes just as much skill to back off as it does to push yourself in training and both are essential to marathon success.
My plans are set up to help athletes, whether beginners or those seeking to break 3 or 4 hours, to have a week-to-week plan to execute their training successfully.

Sub-2:30 or Sub-2:20 marathon?

What Is The Secret To Running Success?
Train at the pace in which you wish to race at.
You cannot expect to break a 4-hour marathon unless 9:09 mile pace has become easy for you.
If you have a desire to break the 2:20:00 marathon barrier you will need to hold 5:19 mile pace for 26.2 miles.
Everyone is different but the same formula applies to all runners.
Train in such a way as to win the prize.
The prize is finishing for some.
It may be setting a new personal best for someone else.
Perhaps it is to break a time barrier.
It could also be seeking out a way to maintain pace for the entire distance and not run out of energy.
This is a common problem many marathoners face as have I.
As it pertains to pace, marathon success stems from training at paces faster than you wish to race the distance at.
If your goal is to break a 4 hour marathon you have to train in such a way to make 9:09 mile pace to feel sustainable.
RunDreamAchieve 16 week marathon training plans will help you do this by giving you a week by week plan to gradually get you to peak performance.
Running success is all about patience and gradually extending the length and pace of your long run.
It is also about practicing and getting better at running at speeds far faster than you are seeking to race at.
I look forward to hearing about your success with our 16 week marathon training plans.
