Hammer Down Athletics

Coach Todd Katz

In 2001 running a marathon seemed distant and unobtainable.  I weighed 228 pounds and was quickly approaching a Body Mass Index indicating Level II obesity.  It was time for a change.  I decided to go out for a jog.  10 minutes later I had to walk home.  Persistence, Commitment and Patience led to the shedding of almost 70 pounds.  

I went from jogging 10 minutes a day (at an 11 - 12 minute mile pace) in 2001 to a 2:59:23 (6:51 mile pace) marathon at the Boston Marathon on April 20th 2009.  I never knew there was a warrior athlete in me until I decided to see what I could do.  Sometimes you just have to Drop the Hammer and JAM! 

Over the last several years I have been coaching athletes to a new lifestyle and to personal best times. Check out some of the Testimonials.
