Michael P.

Hi, I'm Michael! I’m a 28 year old guy that loves experimenting with running. And when you really get down do it, I’m just a grown up kid that still wants to be the fastest on the block. Being a former Nike runner I've turned my passion into helping other people overcome obstacles associated with running; like training, racing, weight loss, recovery, injuries, nutrition, and more.

While I have the knowledge (Bachelors degree in Sports Management, certified personal trainer, certified corrective exercise specialist, USATF certified) and experience (running 20 years, personal trainer, adult running and triathlon coach, high school club running coach) it's my passion of wanting to help people start running or run faster that really fuels my motivation, because I realize that behind each goal is desire for self-improvement.
Please take a look at my profile on Coachup.com and if you think we'd may be a good match then contact me.
