Meet the Coach:   SCOT VAN ASTEN


Multi Sport and Endurance Race Training
With a passion for endurance sports, Scot has always been drawn to long distance racing. Cycling, triathlon, adventure racing and running have been a big part of his athletic resume. After enjoying several difficult mountain running events while living in Pennsylvania, he gravitated toward longer and longer trail races. He continues to be attracted by the challenge of long distance races and is looking forward to this fall's Endurance Challenge Gore-TexŽ 50 Mile event.

Scot is a Senior Coach with Carmichael Training Systems. He currently coaches full time in Madison, WI. He works with endurance athletes of all abilities. Scot says "To be able to advise, motivate, and share my passion for running with other athletes is going to be a blast!"
