The World Athletics Center at Athletes Performance is proud to announce our partnership with Terrence Mahon to present the Terrence Mahon Distance Coaches' Mentorship. Terrence Mahon is perhaps the finest running coach in the world today. He is the head coach of an elite distance running group based in Mammoth Lakes, California. His elite group of athletes reads like a who's who of American distance running, including Deena Kastor, Ryan Hall, and Meb Keflezighi. Terrence Mahon's approach to distance running blends the science of training, with the art of coaching. We invite you to join us for three days of hands on instruction with Terrence to learn the training methods that have produced Olympic Medals, American Records, and Marathon victories. Register today as the program is limited to only fifteen participants!
