Certified Coaches All of our coaches have successfully completed the TNT Coaches Certification Program. Chris King - Head Coach Marathon Program  | | Chris had competed or coached in 24 marathons, numerous half marathons and triathlons, and one 1/2 Ironman. Chris has been coaching with Team In Training since the fall of 2000. Chris' best training advice is to always remember the three P's. Patience, Persistence and Practice. Be patient—do not go too fast too early with too many miles. Be persistent—get the training in but do not be a slave to the schedule. And lastly—practice—everything from nutrition to stretching to clothing to hydration. If you remember the three P's, the last P—Performance—comes easy. |
Marie Jarrell - Assistant Head Coach Marathon Program  | | Marie joined the program as a participant in the fall of 2002 and began coaching in the fall of 2004. Marie has competed in 7 marathons, 3 half marathons, 3 triathlons, 2 century rides (100 mile bike rides), and one 1/2 Ironman. Marie is a physical therapist by trade and loves playing a part in someone completing a marathon or half-marathon, especially first timers. She believes that completing an event for the first time is something that cannot be replicated, but helping someone else do it comes close. |
