#20: Cheryl Groce-Wright on Half Marathon Training, Minions, and Running with Heart
Our guest on this episode is Cheryl Groce-Wright. Cheryl is head coach of the Sports Backers Half Marathon Training Team, which helps runners prepare for the CarMax Richmond Half Marathon on November 12. Before becoming head coach, Cheryl was a participant and then assistant coach, so she’s got a ton of knowledge to go along with a very interesting running journey. She was nice enough to share more insight and experience with us during this episode, and I hope you enjoy our discussion.
As we mentioned during the interview, you can register for the Sports Backers Half Marathon Training Team up until August 31, so don’t wait. Registration is available at www.RichmondMarathon.org, and that’s where you can also get all the information you need on the Allianz Partners Richmond Marathon, CarMax Richmond Half Marathon, and VCU Health Richmond 8k, all taking place on November 12.
Until the next episode, thanks for tuning in!
