Our Mission:
Our mission at Hanson’s Coaching Services is to provide everyone, regardless of ability, the opportunity to train right and race to the best of their ability.
 
Our Philosophy:
There are 5 basic principles that we adhere to:
 
  1. Train hard, but smart. Too many times people feel the need to train as hard as they can day in and day out, all without really knowing why. Our goal is to teach when to push and when to back off.
  2. Know and understand the purpose of each run, then perform each run accordingly. An extension of #1, but if you can truly understand why you are running each run, easy days included, then you are more likely to become a better runner both mentally and physically.
  3. Consistent, long term development. Champions are not developed overnight and time is needed to reach your own personal bests. Being consistent with training allows every runner to achieve more in the long term than short bursts of really great training, followed by setback.
  4. Maintaince of communication. No matter what your level of ability, keeping an open line of communication between athlete and coach is vital for a) that relationship and b) the athlete's development. If the coach doesn't know what is occurring during training, then adjustments are harder to make and the athlete suffers setback.
  5. Engage in race specific training, but maintain training balance. Every race trained for needs to incorporate race specific workouts, however, no area of training should be completely neglected.
