More About Coach Drew
I’ve worked with runners from mid 20s to late early 40s.
I’ve gotten people who are just off the couch and not running to finishing a world marathon major in 5 months as well as coaching experienced runners to PRs.
I am Road Runners of Club of America Level I Certified
Personal marathon experience moving from 4:30:00 (age 35) to 2:58:10 age 43) I want to share with you all I’ve learned about training and wish I’d been taught sooner. I will be your partner on your distance running journey.
PRs
5k 17:31 @ 2024 DC Road Runners 5k
10k: 35:59 @ 2022 Marine Corp Marathon 10k (1st Master)
10 mile 59:49 @ 2022 Army Ten Miler
Half: 1:19:07 @ 2024 One City Half Marathon
Full: 2:58:10 @ 2024 Boston Marathon
We will design a training plan for your goal race. I will coach you through the entire process. I’ll be available via text, phone, and email (or in person if local) to answer your questions and field your concerns. We will adjust your training based on your life and your performance. I have a team to refer you to for PT and nutrition should those areas arise. I’ll help you the whole way whether it’s scheduling, psychology, training, or logistics. Distance running is a symphony and when everything is in harmony you will transform into someone unrecognizable to your former self. Let’s get to work!

Coach Drew has been awesome to work with. I'm training for my 4th marathon, hoping to knock it out later this year before I turn 50—but it’s been 28 years since my last one, so I knew I had some catching up to do. In just two sessions, he's already made a big impact. He breaks everything down in a way that’s super easy to understand—from running form and stretching to diet and rest. No matter what we’re covering, he makes it make sense.
Ragnhildur (CoachUp client)
I can definitely recommend Drew as a running coach. I was a beginner runner who was in need of some guidance to increase my distance and improve my pace and technique. I had been running at the same pace and the same distances rather inconsistently for two years. I found Drew through a search online for coaches in my area and during the first session we met and ran together and I felt he really listened to what I was looking for in a coach and put effort into making a program tailored to my needs. He has been very helpful and encouraging and helped me train for my first ever half marathon, which ended up being easier than I could have ever imagined - thanks to the training program and his good advise.
I have been unfortunate to have been dealing with injuries along the way which has required a lot of patience and adjustments in my training - Drew has been really encouraging through that and gone out of his way with some good advice.
Rowland (CoachUp client)
What set Coach Drew apart was his ability to explain & breakdown complex techniques into basic and easy to grasp concepts, his follow ups include detailed practices, routines as well as being available to further explain if needed... in addition he is affable and easy goin yet open to challenging you if requested, highly recommended if you are looking to develop yourself at your own pace with someone who will encourage you !

I've just started working with Coach Drew and he's been awesome- creating customized workouts, pushing me as I get started, and helping with any questions I have on pacing, dieting, and everything in between. Excited to try to crush my PR with Coach Drew leading the way!
Andrew (CoachUp client)
Drew is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about coaching. I would definitely recommend!
Matt (Coached Athlete December 2022) (Testimonial)
Did a thing and set new PRs for 5k (8 minutes off my time!), 1 mile, and 2 mile at the Rum Runner 5k! Perfect Keys morning running alongside the ocean and I couldn’t have done it without the best running coach out there, Drew.
Matt (Trained Athlete May 2021) (Testimonial)
Never thought this would be a thing I’d do but after months of training/dedication I went from deep in the couch to completing a 5k. Big thank you to Drew who is the best running coach out there.
