Party to Celebrate the 2008 Running Season!

  • Saturday, December 6 - 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
  • John's Place - Northwest corner of Racine and Webster
  • Please rsvp - bill@coachleach.com


Coaching Tip - Winter footing

When footing is slippery or uncertain, remain very upright and take shorter strides, making certain that your foot strike point is beneath the front of your hips.


Nutrition Tip - Winter Hydration

Water needs remain contant or increase during cold or cool running conditions.  The body requires water as energy is metabolized to run and to maintain a healthful core body temperature.  Plan your hydration strategies for each training run. 


Training has begun, for:

  • Preparation for final chance opportunities for qualifying for The 2009 Boston Marathon
  • Preparation for The 2009 Boston Marathon
  • Preparation for any Marathons in the first six months of 2009

Please contact Coach Leach for training details at www.coachleach.com or 773-793-3917
