More Than Trail - Coach Steve

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!

Coach Maureen

Hi, I'm Maureen and I live right outside of Philadelphia. Professionally, I'm a Use Experience Designer which means I design the cool apps and UIs you use every day! Personally, I have been an athlete all my life - having participated in track & field, cross country, swimming, volleyball and tennis as a child. I now take part in long distance races, triathlons and spartans. I became a coach because I want to inspire others to get active by doing something they love. I'm looking to coach active athletes who are coming back from an injury and don't know where to start and athletes whose mental health may be suffering and need some motivation to get back into running. I will provide you with customized training plans, 1:1 time with me, and the motivation to keep going. I'm excited to take my love for running and help you achieve your running dreams!
