Teamwork
Conducted on the road, track & trail regularly, clients interested in group workouts will be placed in ability matched pace groups of several runners and meet at various scenic Boulder running venues for the two weekly long runs, on Wednesday and Sunday respectively (see calendar for time and place).
This is a forward looking group that works out together year-round. The emphasis is always on comradery, practicing form & focus and building a base of strength-endurance & speed- endurance. We both give and receive help to raise motivation and maintain a high degree of training consistency balanced with cross training & active rest. We’ll often adapt or combine individual workouts for race-prep purposes. Gems of information about diet & sustainable health plus stretching & movement awareness abound during and after the runs.

I first met Art when he was coaching a children’s running club that my kids were involved in, and was impressed by his rapport with children, which remains a strong suit that extends to all ages, genders, and ability levels.
I then had the good fortune to train, race and to work with him as a business associate. As a training partner, I find his natural buoyancy delightful as well as helpful. As a business partner, his commitment to his work with athletes manifests as a continuing effort to extend and deepen his knowledge base and understanding, and to bring his receptivity and creativity to bear with every person and situation.
Art is one of those people that is able to see the best in those who have the good fortune to work with him. He’s done his homework thoroughly so that he has the tools and means to really make a difference in peoples lives, be that in reaching one’s running and/or personal goals.
