More About Coach Connor
I am a UESCA Certified Running Coach who's goal is to help runners improve their fitness no matter what experience level they possess. My specialty is in mid-long distance, which can involve training for events starting at 800 meters up to a full marathon. My aim is to make the training process an enjoyable and personal experience with individualized training plans based on your goals.
Outside of coaching, I am a licensed physical therapist. While my services here will not involve physical therapy, I will use my knowledge and experience to make you a more efficient runner and decrease the risk of injury.
18 years of competitive running experience
2x marathon finisher, including Chicago
6 Half Marathons
Former Division 3 NCAA Cross Country and Track athlete
Our plan will consist of at least 12 weeks of personalized training. The length of time can be increased depending on your needs/timeframe.
Each plan includes:
- An introductory in-person session to focus on pacing, form, and drills.
- A personalized online running plan, updated weekly
- Additional in person sessions as needed and per availability
- Unlimited texting/email communication with phone calls as needed
- Strength training guidance

- Race preparation
At the end of the day, I want this process to be enjoyable for you! My goal is to continue to excite your passion for running, as this is a sport that has been incredibly important to my own life as well.

Client Reviews
Tim (CoachUp client)
Connor wrote plans for my 10k, 5k and most recently half marathon. He’s been great at helping me manage minor injuries, aches and pains and figure out when it’s okay to push vs take some rest. Thanks to that I’ve finished all my races healthy and have seen great improvement over the last several months! Connor is also a great proactive communicator, making sure to check in each week and adjust the training plan based on how I’m feeling.

Connor has been excellent to work with. He has provided in person training, a virtual plan for over the summer, and engaged with my son on race strategy and debriefings afterwards.
It was very helpful to have a well thought out plan and several very insightful discussions about mindset and tactics in a race.
He has been excellent to work with and communicates well. Would highly recommend for runner development for middle school and older.
Michael (CoachUp client)

Shayne (CoachUp client)
Connor has proven to be an amazing coach for our son. Connor’s knowledge, experience, skills, personable approach, and willingness to help others is a refreshing combination. I’d recommend any runner of any age to contact Connor, you’ll be glad that you did.
Brad (CoachUp client)
Coach Connor was fantastic. He brought a passion for running combined with a personality that was caring and easy to get along with. He met me where I was and helped me grow into a more confident runner. Training included realistic weekly goals, detailed and prescriptive training, and an emphasis on safety and building endurance. I would highly recommend, and look forward to additional training in the future!
Danielle (CoachUp client)
Coach Connor is the best! He helped me go from running around 8 miles all the way up to the half marathon distance. He created a plan specifically for my level to make sure I can complete my half marathon at my best. It was an absolute pleasure having Connor as my coach. Whenever I'm ready for a challenge, definitely will be reaching out again.
