Signing up for the 5K Training Program was an easy* decision for me because I am familiar with Coach John and his coaching. I first started training with Coach John as a runner in NYRR’s VIP training program for my first marathon (the 2011 NYC Marathon). More recently, I did workouts written by Coach John as part of the Off The Hook Track Club. While I know Coach John, most of you probably don’t know him. Hopefully this coaching spotlight will help you to get to know Coach John.
