Women2Women - Fall 2017 - 15

there was much more to running than she thought. She
became a Road Runner Club
of America (RRCA) Certified
coach about two years ago. The
RRCA Coaching Certification
Course emphasizes how to be
a successful coach, whether
coaching individuals, small
groups, or large group training
programs such as 5K, half marathon, or marathon training
programs. The certification
course focuses on issues specific to road running and racing
for adults at all ability levels.
One class offered through A Running Start is the 5K Learn to
Run class, which is a six-week training program designed for all
age levels. It is offered two times a year, and meets once a week to
walk/run as a group and learn about different subject topics. The
topics include the importance of nutrition, hydration, stretching,
strength training, equipment, form training, and pacing. At the end
of the six-week course, a graduation is held at the finish of a local 5k.

The other class that Sorita instructs is a Half Marathon training
program - this is an eight-week program offered annually, in the
spring. The class meets once a week to run and address various
topics. Graduation usually takes place at the St. Luke's Half
Marathon in Allentown.
There are a few requirements before signing up for each course.
By offering and coaching these programs, Sorita feels extremely
proud hearing students' success stories and she is grateful that
she can impart her experience and knowledge unto others. She
currently has an ROTC student in the 5K class who was worried
about the mile and is no longer concerned. One of her students
from years ago has gone on to place in a few Ultra Trail Runs
and has pursued her running dreams as a running store manager
in California. That's what it's all about, coaching and mentoring others. n
