Greetings!
Gifts that change lives....
Almost every day I hear from someone who changed their life for the better after reading a book or attending a retreat, school, etc. The right gift can motivate as it coaches. I've compiled a guide below that has specific suggestions for specific types of runners and beginners.
Individualized coaching: Recently, I've had an increase in interest in individualized coaching or instruction. I have some e-coaching slots available. Also at my weekend retreats (Carmel in January and Florida beach), I provide individualized instruction in running form, endurance, nutrition, motivation, getting faster, avoiding injury, and more.
Fun Apps! The lolofit apps offer my recorded coaching, music with walk breaks, motivation to 5K, 10K, Half and Marathon.
iFitness belts! Great new innovations by this company allow for various sizes of water bottles, cell phone, snacks-while staying snug around the waist.
Road Trips: I hope to see you at one of the several free clinics coming up. Check out the schedule. RunDisney events in Orlando and Anaheim, Pittsburgh, Missoula,Jacksonville, Ogden, Stuart, FL, etc.
Galloway run/walk/run timer - This $20 device can be programmed to beep and/or vibrate for any two intervals. We call it the "little green coach."
