WHO ARE THE COACHES?

Chuck Bartlett

I have been running and coaching for about 30 years. I have always been a student of the sport and found my best success when I coached myself. I also liked training with my friends and realized that I got the most out of my workouts when I trained with a group of them. Over the years, many people have asked me for running advice and I realized how many people are looking for coaching.

I started my running career at the age of eleven, winning the 800 and 400 meters for my age group and my love for running started. I ran track and field and competed in the Junior Olympics and Spokane invitationals all through junior and senior high. At Portland State University, I ran cross country, track and played basketball (my other love). I ran in the Portland and Seattle marathons and many half and 5Ks including the Torchlight Parade, St. Patrick's Day Run and Red Hook Brewery half marathon. I also ran three years in the Hood to Coast relay race. I have been running for about 20 years and coaching for about 13 years.
