What this leads to is over-training, injury and lack of progressive improvement due to the program not being specifically designed for each participant." "I am excited that I will be able to provide athlete throughout South Carolina and the US with upper-level custom-designed fitness and running plans after participating in the USATF elite endurance coaching program."
