David O’Meara is a world-renowned coach, inspirational speaker and a nationally-ranked Masters runner (#7 for the mile in 2007 in the 40-44 age group).
In 2008, David accomplished a feat he called 20/20/20<5@45. That’s completing 20 one mile races in 20 weeks in 20 different North American cities in less than 5 minutes each at age 45. Over 5 months, from May to September, David traveled 45,000 miles, met hundreds of people, and executed the strategy he had been planning for the better part of a year. Miraculously, David was able to overcome the challenges of travel, jetlag,sickness, weather and injury to achieve his goal.
For the summer of 2009, David is planning another feat of speed and endurance that is even more difficult. He is calling this one “The New England Marathon… One Mile at a Time“. That’s 26.2 miles in 27 races, in 27 New England towns in a total time less than 2 hours and 11 minutes during the months of July and August (62 days).
O’Meara wears SmoothToe Energizing Socks exclusively and has made it his mission to educate athletes over the age of 30 about the benefits of graduated compression socks (GCS) in general and SmoothToe Energizing Socks in particular.
At his home in Sarasota, Florida, O’Meara serves as the Professional Touring Coach at the Bath and Racquet Fitness Club.
