PACE GROUP LEADER
4:20 RUNNERS
Karen Craig
If you know 4:20 Pace Group leader Karen Craig, it won't surprise you that she keeps her approach to pacing very simple: have fun while training together. One of our largest pace groups, the 4:20s are the popular 10-minute milers.
Karen's joined Runner's Edge in January, 2006, and 4 months later completed her first half marathon. "Finishing my first half was very emotional. Just realizing what I had accomplished was amazing to me." She's since run 4 more half marathons and to date has shaved 10 minutes off of her finish time.
Karen attributes her continued progress to her commitment to Coach David's program. Not only has it inflated her drive and love of the sport, it's also prompted her to amp it up and train for her first full marathon! She is psyched about being part of the Runner's Edge road trip to Kansas City this fall to run in the Waddell and Reed Marathon.
Karen has worked for the Westwood College system for 14 years, and her current role is Regional Facilities Manager. Outside of the group she loves home improvement projects, reading, and hanging out with friends for happy hour.
