Run Ahead of the Pack!
With Individualized and Specific Training Coach Ralph Will Set You on Your Path to Success
Coach Ralph
- Not your typical distance runner, Coach Ralph's first love was track - 400 / 800 runner
- Registered for marathon on a whim - missed BQ Time by just over 3 minutes. A fire was lit.
- Coach Ralph evaluated his race performance and training plan to assess what to modify to improve his chances for BQ success
- A year later at Marine Corp Marathon, he improved his time by 13 minutes to quality for the 100th running of the Boston Marathon
- Coach Ralph will apply this same analysis to your training and race history to help you improve.
Mission and Inspiration
- Sharing my passion, knowledge, and experience to help you achieve your running goals - from a new PR to a BQ Time
- Inspired to coach by my coaches who were supporting and encouraging to all runners
- Quality miles over quantity of miles, you can run and have a life outside of running
- Favorite running moments include inspiring a friend to run her first road 5K and then her first marathon
- Outside of running Coach Ralph enjoys theatre, hiking, NYT Crossword, and OnlyPans (recipes for the discerning runner)
Experience, Certifications, and Personal Records
