The RRCA Certified Coach Running Green Girl

The Green Girl is an RRCA Certified Running Coach!

I attended a 2 day course was taught by RRCA Coaches, Patti and Warren Finke.

Both Patti and Warren have completed over 170 marathon distance or longer events. In addition to teaching coaching certification seminars, they are the founders and directors of the Portland Marathon Training Clinic. Patti is also an exercise physiologist.

The course started off with the physiological effects of exercise followed by the the phases of marathon training.

Topics such as basebuilding, sharpening, tapering, race preparation, carbohydrate loading, recovery, and supplemental training were covered.

The material was comprehensive and highly efficacious. Patti and Warren brought forth years of experience - including trial and error - through their teaching and storytelling.
