Highly Experienced College Cross Country and Track and Field Coach

About Derek Riedel
I have been the head track and field and cross country coach at UIW in San Antonio, TX since 2005. I have coached at the college level since 2003 after completing my college running career at McMurry University. I have coached runners of all levels to personal bests at all distances! I am also a USTFCCCA internationally strength certified coach with the ability to combine running and strength training into the total fitness package.
Description
I am happily married with two children, Gavin (13) and Gwyneth (10) and live in San Antonio, Texas. I have coached at University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) since 2005 - coaching many distance runners to personal records in all distances ranging from the 800m to the half marathon! During my 20+ years of full-time coaching I have worked with many types of runners and focused on the individualization of training programs aimed at bringing out the best in each runner and helping them progress to their full potential! I focus on combining strength training and sound exercise physiology principles to create well-rounded training programs. I have learned that sound training progression focused on proper pacing and oversight of volume helps runners improve their running economy, confidence, and ultimately performances!
Athlete Requirements
I'm looking to work with any and all athletes and runners who are motivated to improve and be the best athlete/runner they can be. If you are hungry and determined to realize your best fitness level and live a healthy lifestyle I am the coach for you! I prefer to work with athletes who have running experience and have been running for at least 2 years, have racing experience and are looking to take their performances and training to the next level.
