Renowned running coach Jack Daniels passed away recently. Beyond performing foundational research into running, coaching Olympians and other elites, and writing the influential Daniels’ Running Formula, Jack had a significant impact on the local running community, ranging from coaching NCAA championship teams at SUNY Cortland (where Groton Project coach Scott Weeks ran for him) to sharing his knowledge at FLRC and USATF Niagara events.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help his wife and family cover the costs of his funeral and defray future expenses. If you’d like to give something back for all he contributed to the running world, it would make a real difference to them.
