Why Choose Us

Experience the Run For Performance Difference

Combined, our two coaches have over 35+ years of experience coaching athletes from first-timers to D1 collegiate athletes and state champions and everything in between. Whether you are just starting out or chasing a personal best, we meet you where you are.

Individualized training for each athlete

Individual, Evidence-Based Training

Every athlete is different — whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned competitor. That is why we customize every training plan based on your goals, experience level, and where you are in your season. No cookie-cutter workouts.

Our approach follows periodized, evidence-based training methodologies refined over decades of coaching. Training without focus and planning is just exercise. We make every session count.

Small Group Training

We keep group sizes very small so every athlete — from beginners to advanced — receives individualized attention. We get to know each athlete and adjust workouts during sessions as needed.

1:1 Training

For 1:1 training, everything is 100% customized to your goals and ability level. We make adjustments based on real data and your feedback — not a generic spreadsheet. This is ideal for athletes who want focused, accelerated development.

We Build Athletes Up, Not Tear Them Down

Our coaches are non-judgmental, supportive, and motivating. Every athlete has down days. Not every workout will be perfect. We are here to encourage growth at every level — no experience required.

Certifications & Qualifications

Coaching to us is more than a “weekend certification.” Founded in 2011, our coaches are certified through leading agencies and organizations:

NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine)
Precision Nutrition
National Strength and Conditioning Association
USA Track and Field
Road Runners Club of America (RRCA)

Each coach stays current through advanced training, clinics, and continuing education. All coaches are First Aid/CPR/AED certified with nationwide criminal background checks and SafeSport certification.
