re: Running Coaches- How did you find them and what were the fees?

Agree, Burt. Unless you are at either end of the spectrum (no clue, too lazy to research, no motivation, etc.) or elite, just follow a book. My opinion at least. Personally, I'm not going to spring for a coach that knows way less about my body than I do. Not like I'm going to qualify for the trials or something. All said, I'll never fault someone for trying to do better if that involves getting coached.
