Coach Steve Malliard

Coach Steve is an RRCA certified coach who believes that all runners can benefit from the guidance and accountability that comes with having an experienced coach helping guide them. Coach Steve started his runner career as a high-school cross-country and track athlete and this continued through college. As an adult, Coach Steve turned his attention to marathoning where he is a 5-time Boston Marathon qualifier with a marathon PR (at Boston) of 2:51. Since then he has completed several ultra-marathons from 50k's to 100 miles including two 50k finishes of the Barkley Fall Classic (which includes the infamous hills of Frozen Head State Park, the home of the Barkley Marathons). Steve's coaching approach is simple: tailor programs to the individual runner's goals through sound best practices, and share his experience at all distances to ensure every one of his athletes feels like they have a partner in their journey!
