5. How long have you been training? Well never really had consistant training in my career, started running freshman year of HS with one coach, then he quit and I had another coach soph year, then I moved had a different coach. My junior year was the best training I've had, it was more sprint training than just getting in shape training. That year is where I got all my PB's. Senior year had the same coach and everything but I tore my hamstring indoors before I could run any good meets and I was done for all of indoor and outdoor. Hopefully now in College everything will turn around for me and I can get some stability in my training.

Welcome to the board. If you want to get 'certified' find a USATF Level 1 school in your area and go to it. When you're done with that sign up for the Level 2 school...you won't be dissapointed.

Currently located in Laguna Beach, CA.
As I'm still in high school my educational background in sports is mainly self-taught, but I am USAW Club Coach and NESTA SAQ. In my free time I try and get as much possible training experience (both myself and others)
I played football, basketball soccer and track til sophomore year. Since then I am only cross country and track.

1:59 800m
4:24 1600m (I think it's worth 4:20 because I ran it with a broken fibula)
9:36 3200m

i live in New Zealand, yes that is a real country…
no sports education, just a lot of reading, i study law at uni so not a lot of time for extra learning!!!
i run middle and long distances, but i can throw in a decent sprint if i need to. ok i lie its very average but for a future 10000m runner sub 12 isnt bad i guess.
been running for three years, seriously for one year. previously a cyclist, before that a swimmer. found running the only one that i actually enjoy.
i coach young kids, once a week, for our harrier club, some of them provincial record holders for age groups. more of an athlete though.
ok thats about it. oh and im 19. exciting stuff aye.
