Sue Schliepsiek - Ironman Wisconsin, 6 x 1/2 Ironman finishes, 6 marathons, and over 15 1/2 marathon finishes John Havenga - 2:50:52 marathon PR and 1:20:23 1/2 Marathon PR The coaching team for BDI 2.0 is the following:īrooke Williams - 2:55:28 marathon PR and 1:24:31 1/2 marathon PR It is our belief that to provide the community an effective training program of this caliber, we must have a dedicated coaching team of men and women that is both running with the participants, but also standing on the sidelines to offer advice and guidance. What is new with BDI 2.0 is that we are bringing a highly experienced coaching staff ( 6 coaches with over 100 years of combined training and coaching experience) for this program. It is a training platform that will encourage participants to use heart rate (not required but encouraged) and goal pace to establish an individual's training to reduce injuries and optimize performance. It is with great pleasure that I come to the community with something old, but something new.BDI 2.0!!!īDI 2.0 is a training program that is goal-oriented training that is designed for people that have a desire to compete in distances over 10k. As a result, this coaching philosophy has shaped the last 15 years of my personal training. However, the coaching that I received from Greg White and Blair Gorsuch through BDI was the most effective platform that I have ever experienced.
I have had the privilege of training under many great coaches. Behind the scenes, this training was known as BDI - Blair Dog International. Publicly facing, these programs were known as Building Steam, Team Steam, the IVS half marathon training, and RC Training. Greg White and Blair Gorsuch pioneered the original training programs offered to our running community.
