Start coachingAn app gives you a plan. It can't tell when the plan is wrong for you.
An app doesn't know you worked late, slept badly or felt a twinge on Tuesday. Kevin does, and he changes your week.

Because injuries are what stop runners who have been at it for years. The older you get, the more likely it is that an injury is the thing holding your running back.
Kevin's training builds gradually and puts staying healthy first, so you keep running year after year.
Kevin did. At 16, he had a traumatic brain injury. He rebuilt one step at a time and went on to run a 2:20 marathon.
That's how he coaches: patient, gradual, and built for real life. If you're coming back from an injury, an illness or years away, and your doctor has cleared you to run, he'll build you back the same way.

About the Kingston group"I've been a member of Kevin's running group for the last several years. During this time, I've found Kevin to be a knowledgeable, positive and caring coach. He does a great job understanding my running goals and sets out effective programs to help me achieve them. Best of all, he makes running fun!"Cal Schram · Google review
"Kevin has been SO thorough as a coach. As an absolute beginner to running he has made it so much more understandable, fun and easy. He gave me a plan to work towards my goal and he heavily focused it on making it sustainable and setting me up for success. Most importantly he is very focused on avoiding injuries which of course is a priority for me. Thank you Kevin for your care and expertise! I'm very excited to continue learning from you."Andrea Quinteros · Google review
"Coach Kevin is top notch! He understands my individual needs, has a wealth of knowledge, and works with me to set up a training plan that balances my busy work and personal life without burning out. His approach keeps me injury-free (when I listen lol) and fully prepared for race day, while always making running genuinely fun and enjoyable. I couldn't ask for a better coach!"Luke · Google review
"I've been attending Kevin's running group for years. He is highly experienced and professional but still maintains an inclusive environment. He worked with me to achieve my goals for a 10KM race I participated in last April. Thanks Kevin!"Niki Hodgskiss · Google review
"Kevin has been my coach for several marathon cycles, and we have collected several PBs and BQs over our time together. Above all of these accomplishments, I am most thankful for how Kevin has helped me to navigate the balance of marathon training and my busy personal life as a mother and health care provider. Kevin has helped me to become a more confident runner, to believe in myself and trust in the work. He's the best!"Raye M.
"Kevin is the only person I trust when it comes to running. Right down to the shoes I wear. I completed an olympic triathlon 12 months after suffering a lower back injury where I couldn't walk for 2 months. Kevin's coaching taught me how to reduce lower back strain and for the first time in my life I actually love running."Thomas B., Vancouver
"Over the past 4 years since joining Kevin's running group, I've accomplished new personal bests every year in distances ranging from 5km to the marathon. The structured workouts absolutely elevate performance and the community Kevin has fostered makes it fun and keeps you coming back for more."Chris S., Kingston
