A message from Jill

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Jill Boltz (in photo with Cahn below), Cahn’s running coach a few times and I’ve enjoyed watching her work with Cahn. Jill is more than qualified to train Cahn having ran the 3,000m and 10,000m for Great Britain at the 1988 and 1992 Olympic Games and was a silver medallist at the 1990 Commonwealth Games. More importantly though is Jill’s enthusiasm for running and energy she brings to training is incredible. Her training sessions with Cahn and his friends are no doubt hard work physically but they are also fun. It’s amazing to see Cahn enjoying his sport and the training sessions he does.

I love Jill’s updates on Facebook about the kids she trains and then photo she posts of them at events. She is such a supportive coach and she really understands how Cahn operates as an athlete. I recently asked Jill to send me a few comments about Cahn for to include in his blog and she wrote:

“there are so many great things about Cahn especially how motivated he is and humble he is. Despite his recent great results he has stayed grounded and focussed knowing there is a lot of hard work ahead in order to get to the next level. He has the potential to get to the National level and I am hoping he is beginning to believe this”
