Shad is an awesome person to work with. I started working with Shad back in August because I chose Shad to be my coach to help me qualify for Boston in about a 4 months period. He has been very helpful in giving out advice in regards to nutritions, training, performance, etc. He always has a very quick response time and will usually answer any of my questions or concerns right away.

I ran my best record of 1:28 for a half marathon back in April 2021 and in just two months time, since I started training with him, I went from a 1:28 half marathon to 1:21.

Not only is Shad very knowledgeable in anything running related, he is also a very humble and easy going person. I enjoy working with Shad because of his consistent support and great workout plans. If you’re considering having Shad as a coach, don’t hesitate and reach out to him. He’s great!

I had an upset stomach in the morning before the race. I was careful with my food the night before but something did not sit right. I was in no shape in the morning to run that time, and after a few miles I thought I may not finish.

I have no idea how I managed that time and my legs just kept on going at that 7:20 pace inspite of running very hard from an aerobic effort standpoint The progression long runs and our training is what got me through.

Also with my 11 min buffer, I'm fairly confident of getting into Boston for next year. BIG THANK YOU for everything. With your coaching even on a bad day I can still run my pace, and that's given me a lot of confidence and belief in our training.

Today. Holy smokes. Setting a sub 3 goal was so scary, and I didn't TRULY believe I could do it until my incredible coach @skiptoob told me I was ready. I trusted him and the training we've accomplished together, and let my legs & heart carry me! I'm so grateful. What a fun day!! Surprise, but I don't think I'm done yet 😉💗

One of the most incredible experiences l've ever had. The crowds were amazing, my support team was perfection, the weather was spectacular and there was just the right amount of pain at the end.

I had such an amazing training block with @skiptoob. Thank you for helping me with this goal. I cannot wait to see what the future holds especially with your guidance. I had so much fun working and training with such a talented team of people whose impacts on me are far greater than just running.

One year training with @skiptoob and 25.5 minutes off my marathon time. 😭

Find yourself a coach who believes in what you think is impossible 🥹
