Pat Carroll - Online Running Coach

Welcome... I have often seen athletes who swing from coach to coach and when it happens it is often a bitter occasion. No doubt if one feels they need a fresh change and if their career is on the line then your can't blame them. Fortunately I never had to experience such a split. I only ever had the one coach, this being Pat Clohesey. Cloh also guided the great Marathon legend Rob De Castella. I truly had confidence in the program that I was following. Without confidence in a running program individuals tend to constantly shop around for the special way to reach their goals. With confidence comes contentment and peace of mind. If you show me confidence then I can show you the way with your running. posted by Pat at 2:05 PM Link to the blog archive I have often seen athletes who swing from coach to coach and when it happens it is often a bitter occasion.

My Involvement in running... I have been involved in distance running for over twenty years. Starting as a novice and progressing through to International standard. My aim is to help individuals achieve their goals, which I find extremely rewarding and allows me to somewhat share in a very special experience. Do not limit yourself... I have no desire to limit myself to a particular standard of runner for I appreciate and respect individuals of all levels. I have been to the school of hard knocks and learnt by my own mistakes and those of others. You will find me approachable in nature and dedicated to the cause. My philosophy... My training philosophy is based around the importance of consistency in your training and doing our best to avoid injury and illness along the way. We are all at a different standard with our fitness and development. Via the natural feel that I have from being involved in the sport for over two decades I believe that I have the ability to steer you from where you presently are to where your goals beckon.
