About Colin

I'm fortunate enough to have experienced running from a ton of perspectives which allows me to understand my athletes' perspective, challenges, and potential. I shared in the success of a track and field dynasty at Mt. Tabor HS, learned from a legendary coach while running NCAA D1 at NC State University, honed my coaching philosophy helping high schoolers and private clients after graduation, and experienced the most prestigious races in the world like the Army Ten Miler, Boston Marathon and Chicago Marathon. While coaching runners all over the world, I really enjoy sharing in their journey, helping them realize untapped potential and strength, and sharing a cold beer to celebrate their successes! I'm currently living in Savannah, GA with my wife and two children. We love getting outside and embracing the local running scene as a family.

Good coaching for the price. The training resources are top notch and Colin consistently went above and beyond what he’s paid for to help me qualify for and now to crush Boston in 2023.
