My coach taught me how to actually train like an athlete, not just a casual runner. But at that time, I honestly didn’t know what I was doing other than “just going out and running.” That’s why I decided to reach out to a trusted coach to help me train for my first marathon. I realized that if I ever wanted to run a BQ time, I had to start taking my running seriously. That’s because it takes a seriously fast qualifying time in another marathon to even be considered for entry! Although, when I first got into running, I quickly learned that not just anyone can run this race. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of helping over one-hundred athletes run new PR’s, earn their BQ, and feel better about their running than ever before.Īs I kid growing up just south of Boston, I always dreamed of running the Boston Marathon.

I started Knighton Runs Marathon Coaching in 2019 while living in Boston, Massachusetts. I am a USATF and NFHS certified online running coach based in Providence, Rhode Island.
