Introduction
from Justin Levine, Apple Festival Run Coach
"I first want to thank Rick Mitchell, the race director, for giving me the opportunity to assist this year’s Apple Run. When he asked me to be the running coach for this year’s event it was a no brainer to hop on board. Training for endurance sports takes time, effort, patience, guidance and support. I will guide the runners of this event to more efficient and smart training. I am a true believer in the saying, “Smart training is better than hard training.” I am the president of the Visalia Triathlon Club and I am always coaching my team about smart and efficient training. It is a very important concept to put into your head. Most endurance athletes are “A” type individuals that will put in massive amounts of training time. Creating a well-balanced system to keep you running strong and injury free as you prepare for specific races is crucial. So over the next couple of months you will learn strategies and techniques to implement into your training arsenal to maximize your performance."

All proceeds from the run will benefit the Springville Community Club. The Apple Run is generously sponsored by the Springville Chamber of Commerce and Oacys (Porterville Online.)
