Coaching Philosophy

I want to help you start running or be a better runner. My process is caring, thoughtful, flexible and accessible. And it’s based on data, science, experience, and the collective wisdom of what has evolved from the contributions of decades of the world’s best coaches.

About the Process

The first step is a free consultation so we can talk about where you are now and where you want to go as a runner. The basics are the same, but every runner is unique, so we build coaching tailored to what you need and what fits in your life. Whether you’ve never run a step or you are an experienced runner; whether you call yourself fast or slow, long distance or short, we will bring running to you the way you want it and never try to fit you into a generic training plan or one designed for a runner whose path is different than yours. Whether you want a training plan to help you just go out and run, or a specific plan for a goal race, that’s what we’ll create. The first month is more involved and we’ll spend time creating the right path forward for you. After that, you can take the plan and work on your own, or you can keep up monthly coaching for as long as it’s helpful to you. The work we do is in-person at Studio C in Downtown Lakeland, or through calls, video chat, and text. We’ll use whatever makes it easy for you. I love running and I want you to get everything you want out of it.

About Coach Chuck

I’ve been an active runner for 15 years and run thousands of miles and about 150 races, including 14 marathons and an ultra. I qualified for, and ran, the 2019 Boston Marathon, and recently completed the original 6 World Major marathons. I served on the board of the Lakeland Runners Club from 2014-2021. This is an active club with 400+ members that has great programs in the community. I served as club president, three terms as vice president, co-directed 10 of the club’s races, and am an RRCA-certified running coach. A deep love for running is why I coach and find so much joy helping people start running or become better runners.
