In our opinion, it's our staff of coaches, pacers, and mentors that make us stand out. We all share a passion for helping others reach for and attain their goals—no matter what they might be.

Why is it so important to have qualified coaches?

They can evaluate your current fitness level and goals to make sure you are training at an appropriate level
Assess and suggest ways to improve your running form
Assist you if you need to adjust your training schedule, in the event of an injury or missed training due to travel or life in general
Motivate and challenge you to reach your goals in a smart, safe & effective manner

All coaches on staff with Fleet Feet Training are either Run Certified or in the process of becoming Run Certified by an accredited organization. Examples are UESCA, RRCA, and USATF.
