When Did You Start Running? I ran track in high school and 2 years in College
Who Is Your Running Role Model? Who Has Influenced You
Most In Running? Ben Londeree
He was great, like a machine. I began running with the "noon group" out of Brewer-Rothwell Gyms on campus. Ben set the tones for the workouts. His workouts were a field test for his exercise physiology theory and research. I mimicked his stretches, workouts, and cool downs. He was very helpful in my training.
DID YOU RUN IN COLLEGE OR HIGH SCHOOL? H.S. Track captain; college 1/2 and quarter on, on relay team. Never ran under 2:01 in the half mile.
What Is Your Favorite Workout? 4 to 8 quarter intervals on 3 minute start schedule (hurts but is over quickly)
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COMPETITION ROUTE? Columbia Regional Hospital 5 mile run: Hospital to St. Charles Road, up huge hill to Lake of the Woods exit, then back to Nowell’s and hospital via access road. VERY HILLY. My 40-49 and 50-59 records are some of my best efforts and will not be challenged unless the race is revived.
Personal Info and Interests: 27 years in CTC. I enjoyed the special atmosphere of striving to improve while competing with people that became my good friends.
Wife: Kathleen Cain. We love to bike and hike. Children: 4, now in 30’s and early 40’s
