I love working with Sean. He has given me a lot of feedback on my performance, adjusted my workouts accordingly, and pushed me to improve. I was training between 10 - 12 minut mile pace before. Already hitting low 8 minute pace for some of my training runs already. Highly recommend!

Very easy to communicate with coaches, they seem to really care about your progress!

Great coaching and training. I love rundoyen so far and have had a wondeful experience with coach carrie. It allows me to not worry about planning runs or scheduling workouts and just focus on showing up everyday.

Jeff has been awesome as a coach. He gives reliable and tailored running plans each week and is constantly in contact with encouragement and feedback. Despite me having many years of running background and approaching 42 years old, he’s helped me continue to PR in distances ranging from the 5k to the marathon. I couldn’t ask for a better coach!

I have been working with Coach Tara for almost two years now, and she’s being amazing! I have achieved PRs in the 5k, 10k, and half marathon distances since working with her. She customizes the training so that it challenges me while making sure I stay healthy in the process. Coach Tara is thoughtful and motivating, and I have progressed a lot with her training while having fun doing it!

Well, the main thing is that my coach, Makena Morely, is amazing! She has a high level of personal experience as a professional athlete and highly talented. She also has a great quantity of experience with over a decade of competitive running. She is thoughtful, knowledgeable, very easy to talk and work with and has a lot of personal experience with the things I myself am going through as a competitive marathon runner. I could not be more pleased with how she has helped me become a better runner and hopefully reach my goals. I even consider her a friend at this point. The best part about Makena is that I work WITH her on training and training plans. We talk back and forth about how things are going and where how I am reacting to her training advice. I don't have to just follow her coaching, I feel very comfortable giving her detailed feedback about how things are going and I can make minor adjustments if I think a workout is a little too easy, or a little too hard. So I feel empowered to have a lot of input into my training and not just follow a predefined script (I could get that from a book or online training plan). She is also a really nice person and we get along really well, which makes it more like a teammate than a coach. Someone I can bounce ideas off of and benefit from her knowledge and experience. I even share recipes with her and her boyfriend for running gels, energy drinks, hydration plans and food (like an awesome red beans and rice recipe I eat a lot). She is always available by text and I keep her updated on how things are going frequently. The best part of my week is our weekly Zoom Meetings! I often joke that I wish there was a "Platinum" or "Diamond" level of coaching so I could meet with her more frequently, lol. Run Doyen is really great for accessibility of coaching and the weekly zoom meeting scheduling is really great! You make if effortless to work with my coach and I couldn't be happier! Thanks for helping facilitate my connecting and continuing to work with my coach, it's bee really great and we are coming up on our 1 year coaching anniversary in a few days. I hope to continue working with Makena for another 3 years to get me to my ultimate goals of Age Group World Championships by 2028. Thanks again! Justin

A good Coach sets you up for success. Coach Jeff has been absolutely fantastic to work with! He made this Marathon prep both manageable and enjoyable, and I am on track to PR. The sign up process was super easy to navigate.

Carrie is amazing. I’ve been with her 18 months and credit her with a lot of my progress and consistency in my races since we started working together.
