Our CoachesDave S
Dave is our senior coach and has been helping Caboolture Road runners to achieve their potential for many years. Dave regularly places in his age group at races from 3k up to the marathon. Each week Dave works with CRR runners looking to maximise performance. These sessions can be very demanding. Dave can also advise on stretching, injury prevention and management, diet, running gear, and set specific programs for members to achieve particular running goals.
Caroline B
Caroline's group is designed to help club members who are looking to progressively improve their performance. Caroline leads by example and is another CRR who regularly makes the podium in her age category at local races. Many of our club members always train with Caroline and achieve excellent results through hard work and commitment.
Francis H
Francis is the King of the Kids but also an ultra nut who regularly runs any event longer than a marathon (42.2klms). Francis was the leader of the successful CRR Gold team in the Kokoda Challenge (96klms) in 2010 and can help any clubbies looking to take on the longer events like Glasshouse. Francis also works with our younger members to promote overall fitness and a love of running. Parents are expected to help out from time to time and the club does not provide a babysitting service. Q&AWho does the coaching in our club?
We now have several coaches in the club, Dave S, Caroline B and Francis H. Dave is our most senior adviser and has been helping us run better for many years. Caroline and Francis recently qualified as Level 1 coaches and will soon upgrade their skills to include middle and long distance running specialization.
Are there different types of coaching?
Yes, basically there are three groups each lead by a coach with special skills and experience appropriate for that group. Information about what each coach does is shown on this page.
How I know what type of training I should be doing?
First of all you need to decide what your goals are. What distances do you want to run, target races, do you want to run faster or further, both etc? Next talk to our senior coach Dave in the first instance. He'll ask you about what you've done, want to do and help you clarify your goals so they are reasonable and achievable.
How do younger runners and teenagers get coached?
Kids must be members of CRR to participate in the Kids Coaching Sessions.
Initially our younger runners work with Francis and we then manage their progression through the different groups with a system based on both parental and coach approval. The club 3k time trial is used to gauge fitness, but not based on time at this stage. Younger runners should maintain the CRR Kids Card as a record of achievement and this will be consulted annually when monies are distributed from the Young Athlete fund to subsidise membership fees. These funds were established originally to support a genuine commitment from younger folk to make running a regular part of their daily life. So long as kids can show they have made a reasonable effort stay fit and active then the club will refund QA joining fees.
Your expectations of our coaches
Our coaches are volunteers. The advice and assistance they give comes from experience and specific training which they have done in their own time for the benefit of our club and its members. Participants are asked to respect the work our coaches do by listening to everything they have to say, act on that advice, turn up and start each session on time.
At the end of the day it is the individual runner who must accept responsibility for her or his performance, including recovery and injuries.
