Coach Lee’s approach to coaching runners uniquely blends the architectural design process with running. As an architect designs a building to uniquely and functionally “fit” to a specific site, Coach Lee “fits” specifically designs a training schedule to each runner. The importance of disciplined approach, analysis, planning, adapting, creativity, and are applied to fit each runner’s specific goals and objectives.
Training begins with an evaluation of each runner. Coach Lee will prepare an overall training plan that generally outlines each week’s runs. However, a plan outlining specific miles for each day of the week is not really a plan for success. Coach Lee provides specific runs and workouts spelling out in detail the type of run, pace, distance, and other advice. The plan is different for each runner and designed to meet each runner’s overall goal for their training.
Coach Lee has coached runners in the following races; Detroit Marathon (full and half), Chicago Marathon, Marine Corp Marathon, New York City Marathon. He is currently working with runners who are training to compete at The Glass City Marathon, and Bayshore Marathon.
In 2017 Coach Lee established “The Running Architect” where he provides individualized coaching services to distance runners. www.therunningarchitect.com
