Coaching
Welcome to Coach Debbie Runs coaching! I am an RRCA certified coach and a Level 1 USA Track & Field certified and registry approved coach with more than 13 years experience in training athletes. I was the cross country coach at a local high school for 13 years. I’m also an AFAA certified personal trainer, and hold certifications through IFPA in Sports Conditioning, Flexibility, Sports Nutrition, and Running.
Our girls team went to CIF in 2012, 2013, and 2014!
Personally, I’ve run 36 marathons, with a personal best time of 3:16:38 (7:30 per mile – St. George Marathon). Not bad considering it took me 4:10 in my first 26.2. I’ve run dozens of races of shorter distances. My other PRs:
Half Marathon- 1:33:11 (7:06 per mile – Palm Springs Half Marathon)
15k-1:05:54 (7:05 per mile – Coronado Independence Day 15k)
10k- 42:47 (6:54 per mile – La Quinta Gem of the Desert 10k)
5k- 19:52 (6:25 per mile – La Quinta Gem of the Desert 5k)
(An interesting side note. I ran my PR in the 5k and 10k on the same day, when I did both events back to back.)
It was a few years ago, but here I am, on the way to my PR of 3:16:38 in the St. George Marathon
