Hi, I am Coach Jim Carter. I am a USATF Level 2 Certified Coach and I have been a runner for more than 50 years, running competitively in age groups since High School. I have competed on the track, in cross-country as well as road races.

My favorite distances are 5k, half-marathon and marathon with more than 80 marathons, 7 of which were under 2 hours and 30 minutes. In 1974 I was the top Michigan finisher at Boston Marathon.

I am involved in my local running community and have offered weekly running clinics, directed races, worked as a Course Marshall. In early 1980’s I was an assistant on a women’s remote training project with the British Olympic Coach Gordon Surtees. I have enjoyed being the director of running camps in northern Michigan and Costa Rica.

Looking forward to helping you set your goals and create the path ahead! Please check out my Coaching Page to see my range of offerings.
