The man behind the workouts

Before I give you any type of workout to do, I would like to introduce the man who is making these workouts. Coach Owen McGregor is an experienced track and field coach.

McGregor attended St. Andrew Technical High School in Kingston, Jamaica.

His accomplishments include, running one of the fastest times in the Caribbean Islands in the 400 meters.

McGregor anchored his high school 4x100m relay team to 1st place at the Penn Relays, one of the most prestigious track meets in the United States.
He was also one of the first Caribbean high school athletes to run 20.90 seconds in the 200m.

He also finished in 6th place at the Olympic Trials in the 200m.

McGregor's collegiate career includes a year at Central Arizona JC, where he was a seven-time All-American, including a four-time member of the First Team. He is on the list of Top 10 fastest 100m and 4x400m competitors at the University of Florida.
He later transferred to Arizona State University, were he competed in the 100m, 200m and 400m, and anchored the 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams.

Coach McGregor came to FAU from Pheonix College in Arizona, where he was the mens and womens head coach.

He recently went to Bejing, China for the 2008 Olympics to watch one of his athletes compete in the 200 meters.
