How long have you been a member of LASD? 29 years
What does being a member of the LASD Elite Running Team mean to you? I take pride in being on the Countywide team. It means that I am amongst the best runners on the Department.
Why do you want to win? Winning is not my goal. My goal is to be the best athlete I can possibly be for a particular race.
How did you get involved with the Team? I was asked by the team captain to attempt to qualify for the team. I made the team (top 20) for 7 years straight. Last year I placed 21st. I missed making the team by one place or 6 seconds.
What kind of training program do you follow? I follow a program that involves running, bicycle riding and weight training. It is race specific.. Typically it is 1620 weeks with 3 weeks of a building phase followed by a 1 week recovery phase.
