UESCA Ultrarunning Coach Certification Description
The UESCA Ultrarunning Coach Certification is developed by renowned ultrarunning coach and author, Jason Koop. Moreover, the UESCA Ultrarunning Coach Certification is the only ultrarunning coach certification on the market. Until now, the most common way to coach ultrarunners was to just extend the training volume and other training variables from that of a marathon. This is not correct. The information contained in this certification is very specific to ultrarunning and if you plan on working with ultrarunners or want to improve your own ultrarunning performance, this certification is for you!
The goal of this certification is to educate students on how the body functions and how to apply this knowledge to working with ultrarunners.
