KIM JONES
Certainly considered one of the best female marathoners in US history, Kim
Jones could also be included in a list of the country's top 5 marathoners,
male or female. Throughout her career Kim has been one of the most dominant
distance runners in the world. She has more high level placings in world
class marathons than any other US female marathoner in history with 17 performances
under 2:33. She and Joan Samuelson are the only two Americans to run 2:30
or faster 5 times.
Kim's experience as
a marathoner is unrivaled and her ability to coach that event extends
from the beginning level to world class. She is also uniquely qualified
to work with people struggling with asthma and allergy issues as she has
herself successfully overcome asthma problems to become a world class
runner. Kim also has extensive knowledge and training in nutrition.
During her career as
a marathoner Kim has trained with and learned from some of the best runners
in the world (Steve Jones, Rob DeCastella, Benji Durden, and Mark Plattjes,
Colleen DeReuck, to name just a few). Her coaching experience began during
her career when she was asked to coach beginning, local marathoners. Since
that time she's successfully helped numerous runners to pr's at various
distances and spent two seasons working with high school cross country
runners in Spokane, Washington.
