Minnesota native and Delaware Sports Hall of Famer CRR Jim Fischer has just published a book called Run, Train, Race. Based on his 50 years of running, teaching, and coaching, in his book Fischer offers practical distance-running advice for runners at all levels.
Locally, Fischer has been conducting training sessions on the track at the University of Delaware and more recently at local high schools for more than 30 years. Anyone can take advantage of this type of coaching. And, indeed, over the years several Creek Road Runners have done so and benefitted from his expertise.
Fischer is a Level III certified coach in endurance and has taught Level I and Level II certification classes across the U.S. He served on the NCAA Men’s Cross Country Coaches Association’s Executive Board, presented at the Seoul Olympic Scientific Congress, and conducted coaching and training clinics in China, Egypt, Honduras, and Yemen. He was an assistant coach for the “East Team” at the 1991 U.S. Olympic Sports Festival in Los Angeles.

Thanks for the tip. I purchased my copy online and it just arrived.
The content is great. The design, by Christine Fischer, is fantastic. The book is broken up into short segments by Coach Fischer, interspersed with commentary and photos and stories from runners and coaches with whom Coach has worked, including several CRRs and others who are well known to Delaware and UD runners.
Bill, my thoughts precisely! Thanks for your comment.
With over 50 years of running, teaching, and coaching under his belt, Fischer’s insights are sure to be invaluable. It’s inspiring to hear about his dedication to coaching locally and his contributions to the running community. Here’s to many more miles and victories ahead!
