Our coach, Yaakov Kader, is a proud member of Congregation Ahavas Yisrael who has recently found the beauty and sense of balance that is inherent in long distance running. Yaakov has competed in long distance runs including the Las Vegas Marathon, which he completed in sub 4, and the Long Branch half marathon, with a finishing time of 1.41. Yaakov has also recently completed the Philadelphia and Miami Marathons.

Yaakov will guide you through the basics of running and get you to a place where you will feel confident in your running abilities. Please note that Yaakov does not have any formal qualifications of a "coach," but will help you with what he has learned and has worked well for him in his training and marathon runs.
