I have also dabbled in writing, as can be seen in this blog. I've written articles for Running Times magazine, New Studies in Athletics and various scientific peer reviewed journals, including the International Journal of Athletic Training & Therapy.
I also coach distance runners/track athletes. I got started in coaching by being fortunate enough to coach a great bunch of High School runners for 4 years. In that period of time, six individuals were top 10 at the regional XC meet, and the team qualifying for the state meet on multiple occasions, with a best of finishing 2nd behind national powerhouse the woodlands, which resulted in the team being nationally ranked. In addition, Ryan Dohner advanced to the national meet and finished 12th overall. On the track, I've seen consistant improvement in each athlete. A sampling of PR's from my HS guys: 4:13, 4:14, 4:17, 4:18,4:19, 4:20, 4:25, 4:26 and 4:27 for 1600m and 8:55, 9:15, 9:22, 9:26, 9:27, 9:30, 9:33, 9:38 for 3200m. In 2010, I got to coach my first state champion in the 3200m.
I've also worked with post collegiate/professional runners in both direct coaching and on a consulting basis. Most notably coaching Saucony miler Tommy Schmitz who has run 3:39 for 1,500m.
