Brian Miller- Outfitter/Coach

Brian Miller has worked for Fleet Feet since opening in June of 2017. Brian originally hails from Kirkland, Illinois. In high school Brian played basketball and ran track. Since graduating in 1979 from Hiawatha High School, Brian has continued to run. He has run 41 marathons (Boston twice), more than 100 half marathons, and too many 5k's to count. Brian still runs every day! You can usually catch him running the bike path by the YMCA or somewhere on Rockford's West side. At Fleet Feet, Brian works as an Outfitter and serves as one of the running coaches for training groups. Brian has had the pleasure of running with a lot of running groups and great runners with Fleet Feet. He says the most fulfilling part of working at Fleet Feet is the chance to help new runners find a perfect pair of shoes, then help them train for their first race. When not working, Brian enjoys going to the Rockford Speedway, movies with his fiance Genny, and weekend road trips to running events. A little known fact about Brian is that besides his impressive running career, he is also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. When you come to the store, ask for Brian and be sure to ask him about his best marathon time!
