Testimonials

"I cannot recommend my high school coach (AKA my dad) enough for any runner of any age who wants to work towards a goal and needs someone who can guide them and advise them along the way.  Coach Quigley has the experience and knowledge necessary to write appropriate training plans to get you to your goals, but more importantly he has always had a way of approaching training where he understands how to meet the athlete where they're at, see them as the human being they are, and approach the process with love and respect (and sometimes a kick in the butt when necessary!).  As a high school athlete, Dad always knew that I was harder on myself than anyone else could be on me, so he always provided a safe space at practice for me to try and fail and try again.  It set me up perfectly for a successful college career and even for a professional career in the sport where I got to go to the Olympics and compete for team USA."

"I cannot say enough great things about Coach Q. I had a goal of PRing my half marathon, and with his outstanding expertise and perfectly designed training plan, I exceeded even my own expectations. The plan was challenging yet manageable, pushing me beyond what I thought I was capable of at the age of 38. Thanks to Coach Q, I ran the fastest half marathon of my life – an incredible achievement I never thought possible."

"Coach Quigley's training helped me improve from 20:49 my freshman year of cross country to 18:39 my senior year to finish as an all-state cross country runner.  I went from a JV track runner to sub-5 miler, sub-11 in the 3200 (winning a state title in that event) and our team won the 4x800 my final 2 years with me as the anchor.  Coach's focus on gradually ramping up training and mileage helped prevent injuries and left room for growth collegiately.  Above all, Coach Quigley really valued me as an athlete and person and encouraged me to set lofty goals even when I doubted my abilities.  If I could do it over, I would choose Coach Q again and again."

"Coach Quigley had a tremendous impact on the athletes he coached.  His knowledge of the sport, concern for his athlete's mental and physical well-being and patience gained their respect quickly.  As a parent, I also appreciated his communication style.  I always knew what I needed to know."
