 Bill Richardson, The Runner Training Team CoordinatorBill is a Cooper Institute Certified Personal Trainer. In 1976 he started running with a friend for fitness and became hooked and hasn’t stopped since. Bill enjoys several things about running including weight management, staying fit and the fun of competition. Bill is a long-time member of the Fort Worth Runners Club, and he received the Male Runner of the Year Award in 2006 by the FWRC. He is an age-group winner in the Cowtown Marathon, the Cowtown half-marathon and the Cowtown 5K. One of his favorite running moments: seeing his 6-week-old granddaughter cross the finish line in the Winston-Salem 5K (in a stroller of course!). As a coach he enjoys seeing the excitement as others improve and reach their goals. His favorite race is the 5K because of the quick recovery time and because there are so many available 5K races every weekend. The numerous races keep him motivated to have a continuous training program. Also, the benefit of many friendships with other runners is a real plus. Larry Lichnovsky Larry has been running since 1988. In addition to being a Boston Marathoner, he is a recent “50 stater.” This means he has run a marathon in all 50 states. Actually, he was an age group winner in 30 of the races. Obviously, his favorite distance is the marathon; so he enjoys lots of long runs. No, he does not have a weight problem! Larry’s toughest marathon was in the state of Mississippi. The course was in a rural area out in the middle of nowhere. He was running fourth overall when the leader got off course. The end result was that Larry’s 26.2 turned into a 29.2! His next goal is to run a marathon on each continent. Training in Texas for the Antarctica marathon may be somewhat challenging. As an officer of the Fort Worth Running Club, he is very active on the local running scene, and really enjoys meeting and visiting with new runners. Jeff Arnier, Sr. Jeff has been running since 1979. His favorite event is the Ironman Triathlon, with his average time for all three segments being about 12 hours. Jeff has been a speaker and coach for Weight Watchers helping WW members complement their program with fitness as well as nutrition. Jeff’s week is filled with a stringent training regime with running, swimming and biking. His main love though is running! John Ball John has been running for 30+ years and enjoys the shorter distances (even though he has completed several marathons). He competes almost every weekend and usually places in his age group. John is a firm believer in balancing a running program with strength training. John travels and enjoys competing in races in the midwest and the Seattle, WA area.  |
