The Maine Shakeout
Running partners, turned close friends, Lindsey and Andrea share their running experience from two different perspectives. Lindsey, an avid runner in her mid 30s, is a local high school track and cross country coach, and has a passion for nutrition and technical aspects of the sport. Andrea, a mom of three teen athletes, is approaching her 50s, enjoys running and endurance sports even though her body is starting to object a bit more vehemently. Join them as they talk about running, food, local legends and every day athletes of Northern Maine.
The Maine Shakeout
Adam Ward- The Division 1 Coach
We had the pleasure of speaking with Adam Ward, current head coach of the Men's/ Women's Cross Country and Track teams at the University of Maine. Adam spent his early coaching years in the south before accepting his current position at UMaine. He was really meant to be a history teacher when he stumbled upon his passion for coaching. Without connections in the elite college coaching community, Adam had to fight his way into the profession. We chat with Adam about his connection with his athletes, the recruiting process, how scholarship money is awarded and his overall coaching beliefs. It was another great shakeout.
