About

Built for real life, not just race day.

I’m Sam. I’ve run 31 marathons, coached runners for ten years, and I still remember how hard my first 5K felt.

Your plan changes every week with how you’re sleeping, how your legs feel and what life throws at you. We train smart, so you reach the start line healthy and finish proud.
