Incredibly Fortunate

I have run intervals on countless running tracks around the world including facilities that held the World Championships and the Olympic Games.  Give me Foothill..!!! 

Wait...   "What"???  

Running intervals on a track is tough work and mentally exhausting.  My athletes often see me rub the track and give a nod to the gods when I arrive for a workout.  Because...track workouts STRESS ME OUT!!   However, Foothill is the VERY best track and field that I have ever visited.  It's a beautiful facility that is brand new, perfectly maintained, and never crowded.  

As a coach, it is our job to provide programming that generates results.  Results come after LOTS of hard work.  Foothill helps make my job easy.  Foothill makes you want to run.
