About the author
Paul Greer has been a professor in Health and Exercise Science at San Diego City College for the past 37 years and has a master's degree in Kinesiology from Azusa Pacific University. Paul is a well-known staple amongst the San Diego running community, having coached thousands of athletes in endurance sports, including mid-distance track athletes, marathon runners, Ironman triathletes, and various endurance sport enthusiasts. His athletes include hundreds of Boston qualifiers, several top age-group competitors, and a handful of Olympic qualifiers. One of the founding fathers of the San Diego Track Club, Paul has been a SDTC coach for 41 years. Paul also serves as the Director for the "Rockin N Runnin" full and half marathon training program. In 2016 Paul was selected to be the Men's Coach for Team USA's Senior (20-35) and Junior's teams (19 and under) at the Great Edinburgh Cross Country Championships. In 2024 Coach Paul Greer was again selected to be the Men's U20 Coach for Team USA at the World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Belgrade, Serbia where the team he coached finished 7th in the world. Before Paul started coaching, he was a very successful runner himself. A top San Diego section miler at St. Augustine High School, Paul was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame in 1995. After high school he went on to become the school record holder for 1500 meters at San Diego State. His 3:42.44 still stands as the best mark in school history. Greer also ran the mile in under four minutes (3:59.79), was a 1992 U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier at 1500 meters with a 3:39.05 and competed in the tough European track circuit as a post collegian. But Paul's resume isn't what is most impressive. Rather, it is Paul's sincere passion to improve lives through the pursuit of mental and physical excellence. Paul recognizes that every athlete has a story, and he enjoys encouraging his athletes every step of the way... These helpful tips will undoubtedly help you to reach your full potential and achieve your fitness goals.
