Coach Gary Wightman

I am a lifelong runner, 45 years and counting, who runs for health and to optimize performance. I have run hundreds of races ranging from the 800 and mile to marathons including qualifying for Boston multiple times. Running is part of my holistic lifestyle approach; it is a critical part of my regular activities, which also include a focus on good nutrition, strength training, and cross training where appropriate. I want to share my lessons learned from many successes and failures with others, new or experienced runners. Running plans are customized to each runner’s unique situation and goals while balancing the needs of work-life balance and executed in a positive runner-coach training environment. We will focus on setting goals, monitoring, managing, and adjusting plans as we progress through each training cycle to give you the best chance to achieve your next level goals for race distances from 5k up to the marathon, even ultras if desired.
