More About Coach Serge
I started my coaching career approximately 15 years ago working with school children preparing for an 800 meter "fun run." Seeing the joy and look of accomplishment on their faces got me hooked! Since that time, I have continued to work with children, but have also worked with teenagers and now, primarily adults. I am USATF & NFHS certified and work with all levels and abilities, from first time runners to those looking to break three hours in the marathon.
I started my career running cross country and track (800m/1500m) in high school. From there, I ran cross country at the division III level in college and since that time have continued my running career to include over 20 marathons and countless other races. Most recently, I have discovered "obstacle" racing and completed my first Tough Mudder.
In order to put together an appropriate training program, it is important that there is a specific goal in mind. Our first session will go over goals and expectations. Also, learning about your running history (or lack thereof) and any particular health issues. Specific training sessions will always start with a warm up, dynamic stretching exercises, and then the actual workout. Work out time/distance/pace will depend on the goal we are trying reach. Workouts will end with a cool down and stretching.

Client Reviews
Courtney (CoachUp client)
Serge is an amazing coach! He can run at any pace so you don't feel intimidated and is incredibly encouraging and upbeat no matter how long the run. As a runner and volunteer, Serge also has extensive experience and knowledge of races in Rhode Island, throughout New England, and elsewhere so he is perfect to have as a coach when you’re getting ready for your next race. He helped convince me that I could run the Newport Half Marathon which I completed in 2013 in under 2 hours. He was even there at mile 1 and mile 10 to cheer me on! It is my proudest running accomplishment to date. Whether you’re just getting into running, training for your first 5k or looking to improve your time for your next half marathon, Serge is a great Coach to help you reach your goals.
Alex (CoachUp client)
Serge is awesome!!! His communication from the very first email has been outstanding. He brings a wealth of knowledge to each running session, which is nicely complimented by his extremely approachable coaching style. Serge's sole focus is to make me a better, faster, more efficient runner and his training plan is to that end. I highly recommend Serge as your coach if you desire to rapidly excel in your running.
