Mark Gallant
Mark was top ten each year in primary grades and top 5 in a hand full of city finals for cross country and track and field events and was his school athlete of the year in senior year. His practice routine was self driven and daily running short and long distance with his family timing him. A baseball injury to his knees sidelined his running until his late 30’s where he started recreational 5K running. Mark is top tenner on his age group in events like 5K, 10K and Tough Mudder/Obstacle races and an active baseball team coach.
Mark’s coaching philosophy is to help with self-motivation and inner self-talk to build confidence in athletes to visualize the path to improvement, with key focus on repetition, reaching just beyond, building distance each week and basic technical running form.
