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

McVick - maybe my memory is mistaken, but don’t you also lift weights?

Nope, not me. Still haven't hit that desire to lift yet. I've gone to the gym in the past but it's been 2+ years now and I mainly stuck to the machines with the stacked weights.

I think I figured out a plan for next year. I have two races already on the calendar, a 10 miler with hills in early May and a 15k in July. I'm going to try out the Garmin Coach thing for the 10 miler & treat it like a half marathon with a goal pace in the 7:00-7:10 range. That should get me through the winter months, and then after the May race I'll reassess my desire for a personal coach or specialized plan.

My goal then is to jump into a marathon plan at the end of May for a race in late September or October.
