“I really enjoy working with charity runners – they have such inspirational stories of why they are taking on the challenge of a marathon. When looked at as a whole, training for a marathon can seem overwhelming. I take a simplistic approach – one day at a time, one foot in front of the other until you reach the finish line. I am really looking forward to working with Team CCO runners and welcome any & and all questions!”
