#19: Elite Running, Coaching, and Achieving Big Goals with Danny Docherty
Our guest on this episode of Sports Backers' On the Move podcast is Danny Docherty, an elite runner, a running coach, and just an all around running enthusiast. Danny shared more insight on his running journey, what he hopes to accomplish as an athlete and a coach, the importance of building running communities, and the Twin Cities rivalry between Minneapolis and his hometown of Saint Paul: Hint: for runners, it’s all about which city plows their streets better in the winter. Speaking of rivalries, we also spent some time on the Great American 5000 and his team’s friendly battles with Keira and Anthony D’Amato.
Thanks again to Danny for joining the podcast to share more on his experiences with running and coaching, and on the importance of building community through running. As he mentioned, he’s building towards the U.S. Marathon Road Championship at the California International Marathon in December, so be sure to follow him on Instagram at Danny.Doc to keep up with his running and coaching and to cheer him on.
