He consistently evolves my workouts to meet my progress and goals. He’s very knowledgeable about fueling for long races, and emphasizes injury prevention!!! I’ve been with him, training hard, for 2 years and not one injury! THAT’S SO IMPORTANT! I started working with Will for a trail run half marathon up Pikes Peak, which defeated me in the past! But, after a few months of training with him, I conquered the race! Since then, I’ve continued to train with him and shift my focus to improving speed and endurance for road races. He’s very adaptive to my goals and his workout’s evolve as I continue to improve. I started training with Will at 58 and I’m turning 60, and I am still continuing to improve!

Will is an excellent running coach. I have been working with him for over a year. My first running goal is to BQ. Though I haven't gotten there yet, I believe some progress is happening towards that. Will's workouts are finer than just running a certain number of miles. There's a combination of speed work, easy miles, hills. Most important for me - cross training and pre-hab workouts to help prevent injuries. Some key changes I see due to training with Will. a) I'm not trying to finish prescribed distances, but to do as much of it as possible at prescribed paces. b) not overdo it - either in distance terms or pace terms. Building endurance is one thing, but getting faster is quite another. Will takes into account, my schedule, the demands of a busy job and kids, my injury proneness and keeps tailoring my workouts accordingly. And of course, he's available to talk - about issues in training, about gaming out a race beforehand, debriefing after a race. I find the conversations so helpful. Also being able to text-chat beyond the communication on the vdot chat is also great. I believe that with perseverance and by following Will's calendar, I'll attain my running goals.

I came into this training block coming back from injury, and he helped me rebuild my fitness step by step. At every stage he took the time to answer my questions and explain the bigger picture behind the training, which made it easier to stay patient and actually enjoy the process again. I just ran the Tokyo Marathon and got to the start line feeling strong, confident, and genuinely excited (something I wasn’t sure would be possible a few months ago.) Huge credit to Will for helping me get there. Couldn’t recommend him more as a coach. Really excited to keep training with him!!

Will is without question one of the best coaches I've ever had. I have had a blast working with him, from being training partners back in the day to now picking his brain whenever I can with regards to training practices. He makes training really digestible and has a long term vision for all the training choices he makes. It has been a pleasure working with him so far!

Provides doable but ambitious training plans, responds quickly to comments/questions, is encouraging and knowledgable. I wasn't sure if his ambitious goal for my marathon was realistic, but it was spot on and I just PR'd by 5 minutes - putting me in safe BQ time. His training videos are straightforward and timely. Excited for the next challenge and will continue working with Will. Love his positive energy.

He’s so supportive and really knows how to push you past what you think you’re capable of. I went into this training block full of self-doubt, but Will always believed in me and kept me focused. His training plan and encouragement helped me get stronger every week, and I ended up PRing by 17 minutes in just six months since my last marathon! I’m so grateful for his coaching and couldn’t recommend him more!!

Will was a fantastic coach — knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and incredibly professional. He designed workouts tailored to my goal of running the NYC Marathon around 3:10 (hit 3:07!) and always posted the following week’s plan well in advance, which made it easy to fit training around work, travel, and life. What really stood out was that he didn’t just assign workouts — he explained why each one mattered and how it fit into my overall training strategy. I’ve worked with other coaches before, but next time I’m preparing for a race or want a structured running plan, I’m coming back to Will. 5/5!

Coach Will has been a revolution in the field of coaching where the athlete will not be able to guess what's coming every 14th day. Just like the human body needs change to get scaled up, Coach Will brings in this shake-pit every now and then. there is a structure and a chaos in the structure which i like about his training. he devotes adequate time to this athletes and thats a big plus in this era of coaching.

I've been working with Will Baldwin for a couple of months now, and he has been an incredible help in preparing me for the marathon I just ran a few days ago. Thanks to his coaching, I finished with a time of 2:48:06, cutting more than eight minutes off my previous PR of 2:56:39. I highly recommend Will as a running coach!

Will is a super knowledgeable running coach and passionate about helping runners achieve their goals. I had a really audacious goal for a tough race and, with Will's coaching, was able to beat it — and not by a few seconds, but by A FULL 13 MINUTES. I couldn't believe it. He definitely knows how to get you to the next levels in your running journey, which has been a ton of fun for me — getting to run longer and faster. The way he uses the V.O2 app makes it really easy to fit workouts into my life — I know what to do and when — and he is really responsive and flexible when any adjustments need to be made. I'm super happy working with Will and fully recommend him to anyone who wants to take their running to the next level.

He's trained me for everything from a road 5K to a trail 100M to a multi-day mountaineering trip. The workouts are very personalized to me and if something comes up in my life, it only takes a text and he's reworking my schedule for me. Best of all, he actually cares about my progress and that keeps me motivated to execute his training plans.

Will has been my coach for almost 3 years and has been great the whole time. I came to him after I started training on my own as a new runner in middle-age which led me into injury and overtraining symptoms. Will helped me tremendously with developing structured workouts that are designed to keep injuries to a minimum while also getting my paces up. He helped me to develop my fueling and hydration strategies for training and race-day and also to understand when I need to modify or take extra recovery. I run stronger and safer now because I worked with Will. I’m probably never going to be an exactly fast runner, but my finishing times for every distance I’ve raced (5k, 10k, half-marathon, and marathon) have all dropped significantly after Will’s coaching. I appreciate his experience and encouragement most of all. I am currently training for two major international marathons just three weeks apart and I know that I would never have attempted that without his help. TL;DR: Will Baldwin = 🔥

He and sundog running came highly recommended to me from Ben Rosario, the head coach at Hoka Naz Elite. Beyond such an esteemed recommendation, Will has done an incredible job of developing me as an athlete at every distance and discipline. He's done a lot to improve my trail skills, my uphill running capabilities, my nutrition, my heat adaptability, and injury prevention. I've talked with him for hours over zoom and in person, pestering him with endless questions and competencies, and Will has had an answer, insight, and solution for everything. He really has my best interest as an athlete and person in mind. I've been able to compete in and win all kinds of races since working with Will, from 10k to trail ultras. He's gone out of his way to be available and helpful to me, and I attribute my acceptance onto the Aravaipa Racing Team to his coaching and mentoring. Thank you Will for everything you have done for me so far!

Before working with Coach Will, I had no background in track or speed work and wasn’t sure how to take my running to the next level. From day one, Coach Will made the process approachable, with clear, thoughtful workouts that steadily built my speed, endurance, and overall fitness. Thanks to his expert guidance, I achieved a Boston Qualifier with a nine-minute cushion — something I never thought possible. What truly sets Coach Will apart is his constant support, encouragement, and accessibility. I always felt like I had a true partner in my journey. I’m not only a stronger runner now, but I enjoy the process more than ever — and I’m excited for the goals we’ll continue to chase together.

He is always available to meet/call and is very generous with his time, answering all questions big and small thoroughly and tailored to me. I have benefitted tremendously from working with him and have valued his deep breadth of knowledge and guidance over the years (3 years and counting!). I depend on his well planned training schedules crafted for me (based on the data he receives from my Garmin) as I run different races in a year whether they be 5k, 10k, half marathons or full marathons. He takes the guess work out of what I should do day to day and has incorporated prehab strength training for me which I greatly value. Will knows the running world inside and out from personal experience and professional development. I truly appreciate his calm, kind demeanor and forever encouraging, motivating words! They have gotten me through numerous marathon training months. He has a gift for coaching and is an absolute natural at it. I appreciate his support, guidance, kindness and time on a daily basis!

Before going with this plan, I'd toyed around with other AI-based running apps. In those cases, it felt like the workouts were either (a) too frequent (and thus likely to lead to burnout or injury) or (b) too complicated. Will's dynamic plan struck the balance of pushing me without overcomplicating things -- no doubt a testament to his coaching expertise. The dynamic nature of the plan meant that as I got in better shape, the paces shifted to reflect that increase in fitness. It kept me pushing in a way that a static plan wouldn't. When I had questions about race day, Will was more than willing to answer! And, as fate would have it, he usually had already written a blog on the topic that he could point me toward. Additionally, Will was such a great hype man -- he had me feeling confident going into the race, which is hugely important for a marathon. I would 100% recommend Will's dynamic plan. It is a nice middle ground between a static plan and one-on-one coaching, which was perfect for my needs!

I’ve been working with Will for about eight months and couldn’t recommend him more. Running was my life in high school, but after graduating, I spent ten years struggling to stay consistent for more than two months at a time due to injury after injury. When I started working with Will, I had pretty much accepted that my body was too injury-prone to ever run fast again. My only hope was simply to run consistently and enjoy it. Fast forward eight months, and not only am I running pain-free, but I’m as fast as I’ve ever been—now chasing a sub-16 5K and a 4:38 mile, times I never thought would be within reach again. He’s taught me that what I once believed was my body holding me back was actually just my training philosophy. He’s completely changed how I approach training, and the results speak for themselves. I’d trust this man with my life—he’s helped me reclaim a part of myself that I had truly given up on. Across the board, you can tell Will is fully dedicated to helping you reach your goals. He always takes the time to answer my (many) questions and will regularly hop on a video call to talk about anything running-related—even if it’s just me nerding out about things unrelated to my training. When I hurt myself playing soccer, he even went out of his way to help me find physical therapists near me in Boston. He’s flexible, working around vacations and run club workouts (though Will’s workouts are so good, I struggle to want to do anyone else’s). More than just a coach, he feels like a great friend who happens to be an expert at helping you improve. Even if I never got any faster, working with Will has enriched my life in ways I never expected. At this point, I couldn’t imagine doing all this without him. If you have even the slightest interest in running, I truly believe you’d have something to gain from working with Will.

Last year (in 2024) he helped and supported through the numerous races I had including 4 major marathons (2 of which were only 6 days apart!). This was a big deal for a me - definitely for a woman in her late 50s. There are are many things I appreciate about Will's approach but one thing I noticed from the onset is that he doesn't stand on the sidelines. He gets involved and it is a team effort. Even his language is "WE can do it. He makes himself easily accessible and made me believe I can achieve and do so much more. He is also flexible and accommodating and when necessary adjusted my weekly plan to suit my lifestyle and personal commitment which was very helpful.

He’s been nothing short of an incredible mentor in running who has allowed me to achieve more than I ever thought possible. Since starting my time with Will, I’ve achieved longer distances than I ever thought possible. I started working with him after my first marathon and have since completed a 50K and 50 miler. I never would’ve thought this would be possible but Will made it a reality. Will pushes you to your limit and beyond, while also knowing when it’s time to recover and take it easy. His personality is perfect for a run coach - very balanced with a relaxed demeanor but also consistently checking in to keep you honest with yourself! Very motivating and confidence building to have him in your corner before an event. I look forward to working with Will for many years to come. The best part of achieving new distances and paces is when Will and I say together “what’s next?!”. Highly recommend to anyone looking to step up there run game.

Will has been an incredible coach for the past 6 months who has helped me achieve PRs across multiple race distances, including the mile, 5K, 8K, and half marathon. Before working with him, I hadn’t incorporated such a variety of training into my routine, especially for these different race types, but Will made it seamless and highly effective. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve hit some major milestones, like a 5-minute mile, a 17:09 5K, and a 78-minute half marathon. These are significant improvements from the previous year, where I shaved a full minute off my 5K time and more than four minutes off my half marathon PR. Right now, I’m on track to hopefully PR again in my upcoming marathon, and I’m highly confident I’ll reach that goal with Will’s training plan. He’s been incredibly encouraging and has helped me focus on areas of my fitness that I hadn’t paid attention to before. If you’re looking for a coach who can deliver real results and push you to new heights, I highly recommend Will!

I've run in about a dozen marathons and have always been self-coached because I believed running coaches were only for elite athletes. After a less than ideal performance in the Boston marathon this year, I researched coaches and found Will. I've been working with Will for about three months during a NYC Marathon training block and I couldn't be happier! Will has been very supportive and has pushed me to reach and push past what I thought were my limits. I feel more confident each week and my strength and efficiency are getting better and better. Will is a great communicator, there when I need to chat and an all around great human! So glad I found him!

I have worked with Will now for over 6th months and I am VERY happy with the trainings and my fitness progress! Coming from a repeat injury that saw me break my leg twice, I needed a coach that could craft a careful plan of returning to running in a healthy way, while also fueling my ambition to get back to running faster and be a successful age group amateur. In 6 months I have been able to ramp-up my training and I have already run a half marathon 5 mins faster than my prior benchmark on the same course. I am confident now for my upcoming marathon and my fitness is back in Boston Qualifier territory. I feel good with my injured leg and I had no pain through my training progress. I am also a curious person about my training and Will is very knowledgeable and open to discussions. I received great insights on running footwear, nutrition, race strategies, etc. I would recommend Will's coaching to athlete's of all levels!

I was stuck in a rut -- wildly inconsistent with my "training" and couldn't break 5 hours in the marathon. In 12 months, Will helped me go from 5:43 to 4:49 to 4:23 -- beating my old PR, which I had run 18 years and 3 kids ago. He works with you from wherever you are and whatever your goals might be. With his coaching, I've made major improvements in fueling and preparation, stayed injury free and had fun while getting stronger and faster. He knows how to push you and challenge you, yet is so supportive -- never makes you feel bad when life interferes or the run is awful. His love for the sport is clear, and he is incredibly generous in sharing his knowledge and helping you apply it to improve your running.

In 2022 I made the decision to get into shape and focused on lifting weights and losing weight. Once I hit that goal I decided to turn to running. I started working with Will around June of 2022. From a running perspective I was starting at zero. So our first goal was to run a half marathon which we did in October 2022. Then I turned my attention to train for a 50k in February 2023 (Louisville Lovin The Hills) which was a success, I was slow but I finished. Then we decided to focus on a 100k (Oil Creek 100k) which was another success. That brings us to today, we are currently training for a 100 miler (Pinhoti 100). Those are just the major races, we have also run multiple 5k, 10k, half marathon, 50k, and backyard ultras. Working with Will has been a game changer. I don’t have to worry about guessing what my workouts should be and I have an extra layer of accountability which helps me stay more consistent. The workouts are fun (most of the time), and even when they are not I can tell they are helping. I have seen all my times come down from 5k to 10k to half marathon to ultra marathon. Looking forward to continue working with Will and tackling more challenging races. He has been a great coach and I can’t recommend him enough.

Since I started working with Will, I’ve seen significant improvements in my fitness level. He has customized the workouts to fit my specific goals and adjusts them as needed to accommodate my progress and any changes in my schedule. Will has been great to work with. Everything about the program he designs is tailored to you. He has helped me not only improve my fitness but also gain the confidence to participate in races. Will is very knowledgeable and down-to-earth, has excellent communication skills, is easy to talk to, and meets you where you are.

Will had been amazing to work with over the past few years. Being a former college sprinter, Will helped me transition to a longer distance runner finishing multiple 5K’s, a 10 miler, and a half marathon. His creative programming helped me win age group medals and have fun doing it. He has an unbelievable amount of knowledge. I gave him the challenging task of creating a program being very injury prone, with a limited mileage base to start, and a hectic work schedule. Even with that, he helped me train for a half marathon. You can’t get this by just looking up a standard program online. He continuously adapts my runs based on how I’m feeling each day and week. He’s very invested and is always willing to chat and is attentive to how I’m feeling. I’d highly recommend his services to anyone looking for some guidance at any level.

I've been working with Coach Will for almost 2 years now and HE IS THE BEST! I was initially hesitant about hiring a non-local coach but all my worries were gone by the end of the initial phone call with him. I've set PRs in almost every distance (from 5K to a full marathon) since training with him. He is very very responsive and attentive. I love that he is easily reachable, down to earth, and accommodating. Two thumbs up!

The training plan he developed for me never felt like a cookie cutter approach that he copy pasted to me. It was designed for me, my needs, my life, my goals. 2. Down-to-Earth. I never considered myself a "runner". I worried a running coach was not for me, because I don't run X mile pace, or Y miles per week. I could not have been more wrong. His accessibility, warmth, openness allowed me to drop my intimidation of the running community.

When working with Will, you get way more than just a race plan with some nutrition advice. You get a thoughtful and creative schedule catered to your fitness and abilities that’s plenty flexible for what life throws at you. His approach is more like a partnership to get you to your goals, something that really resonated with me. Having previously finished the Pikes Peak Ascent, I decided instead of riding the bus back down next time, that I would run. Thinking through creating my own training plan for a full marathon with 8300 ft of elevation change all while living in Florida seemed daunting and was giving me a bit of anxiety. Having previously met Will, we connected and talked through my goals. On a weekly basis, Will created a plan that included purposeful, intent driven workouts that were never repetitive and keep things interesting. Throw in some runner specific strength training, nutrition, gear, recovery advice and total support around every corner, and you’ve got yourself some solid race prep with someone who is there with you every step of the way. No doubt that working with Will contributed to me hitting my goals. I finished the Pikes Peak Marathon in 7:10 (goal was between 7-8 hours), PR’d my Ascent time by 30 minutes and generally felt good after. Couple of days recovery and everything was good. I really can’t say enough about working with Will to achieve my running goals. Whatever the next adventure is, I’ll definitely be contacting him to get ready to tackle it!
