Shadrack Biwott — Coach Shaddy
Hi, I'm Shadrack

From the Front
of the Pack to
Your Corner.

I'm a Kenyan-born American long-distance runner turned coach and certified massage therapist, based in Folsom, CA. My competitive career spans over a decade at the elite level — including 3rd place at the 2018 Boston Marathon, 4th at Boston 2017, and a personal best of 2:12:01 at the 2016 NYC Marathon.

As a runner, I understand firsthand how frustrating injuries, fatigue, and tension can be. That's why I'm passionate about helping you feel better, recover faster, and perform at your best — whether you're chasing a Boston qualifier or your very first finish line.

My services combine personalized coaching with sports massage and Tecar therapy, giving you a complete performance and recovery system under one roof.

Athlete Testimonials

What athletes are saying
about training with Shadrack.

★★★★★

"I ran my best record of 1:28 for a half marathon back in April 2021 and in just two months, since I started training with him, I went from a 1:28 half marathon to 1:21. Shad is very knowledgeable in anything running related and also very humble and easy going. He has consistent support and great workout plans. If you're considering having Shad as a coach, don't hesitate — he's great!"

Teng Lo Coaching Client
★★★★★

"With my 11 min buffer, I'm fairly confident of getting into Boston for next year. BIG THANK YOU for everything. The progression long runs and our training is what got me through. 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."

Rajnish Tahiliani Boston Qualifier · Coaching Client
★★★★★

"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 accomplished together, and let my legs and heart carry me! I'm so grateful. What a fun day!!"

Shantel Cloud Sub-3 Hour Marathoner · Coaching Client
★★★★★

"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."

Kristen M. Mayo Coaching Client
★★★★★

"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."

"Shaddy is a legend. He takes his time and cares about his clients and fixing the issues. He also has a deep awareness of the physiology behind what might be causing pain and laser focuses on making sure it's fixed. Do yourself a favor and see him if you need an A+ massage. He'll deliver."

"After suffering for months with severe pain, I finally feel relief. Shadrack understands a runner's body and what it needs to heal."

Tamara DeaconGoogle Review · Local Guide · 2 weeks ago
★★★★★

"After 10 hours of driving in 24 hours, my body was a knot of stress. Shadrick didn't just massage, he felt where the tension lived and worked it out with precision. I've had plenty of massages, but this was next-level. Walked out lighter, looser, and shockingly human again."

S. MatticeGoogle Review · 2 months ago
★★★★★

"I don't think I've slept that comfortably in years. My spine was able to fully relax. Also, whatever you did in my left leg changed my running form, almost like you unlocked the whole leg. I will be a repeat customer for years!"

FAQ

Common Questions.

The easiest way to book is via the contact form above or by calling/texting (541) 743-6531. You can also email Shadrack@coachshaddy.com. I recommend booking as far in advance as possible to secure your preferred time.

Every session is bespoke to your unique goals and needs. Dress in comfortable clothing, hydrate before and after, and always communicate openly so I can tailor the work to you. It's normal to feel relaxed or slightly spacey after — what I call "massage brain!" Rest and nourish yourself for the rest of the day.

Tecar Therapy (also known as diathermy) uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. It generates gentle heat within body tissues, promoting natural healing processes and enhancing blood circulation. It's a powerful complement to hands-on massage, especially for deeper or chronic injuries.

Absolutely. While I specialize in athlete recovery, my massage services are open to anyone — busy professionals, people dealing with chronic tension, or anyone who simply wants to feel better and move more freely. The techniques are adapted to your specific needs.

Yes — all coaching programs are available fully online. Athletes across the country train with me remotely. We communicate via email, phone, or video check-ins depending on your plan. Massage sessions are in-person only at the Folsom studio.

Please provide as much notice as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule. This helps me accommodate other clients and protects everyone's time. Reach out via phone, text, or email to reschedule.
