Personalized. Evidence-Based. Results-Driven.

Smarter Training.
Real Results.

The best coaches don’t just hand you a training plan. They help you train with intention, adapt your schedule to fit your life, and keep you healthy as you rack up the miles. That’s exactly what you get with coaching at Miles Ahead Physical Therapy and Performance.

 

Around 80% of running injuries come from training errors. Typically, doing too much too soon. Working with a coach helps you avoid these pitfalls by training smarter and more effectively.

​

Our flexible, customized programs delivered through the VDOT O2 app, provide expert guidance tailored to your goals, your schedule, and your lifestyle. You get unlimited messaging support (email, text, or in-app) plus monthly check-in calls to keep you motivated and on track. No cookie cutter templates. Just expert guidance designed for your needs as a runner.

 

Whether you are a brand new runner or have years of experience under your belt, run coaching with Miles Ahead is for you!​​

​

Plus, coaching clients get exclusive discounts on all physical therapy, strength coaching, and gait analysis services, because the best results come from a comprehensive approach to your running.

"I worked with Chris as my running coach in 2024. Before this, I had no formal training and only ran occasionally, but I decided to take on my first marathon in May 2024. When searching for coaches in the Boston area, I specifically wanted someone with a PT/clinical background since I was concerned about injury risk while ramping up. I contacted Chris and after my first visit in the office I knew he would be perfect for me. He provided clear, structured training plans and always explained the “why” behind his approach. He was responsive to calls, texts, and emails, and even reached out proactively with feedback on my Strava runs. Chris gave me the confidence and preparation I needed to complete my first marathon (and snag a BQ). I continued working with him for my fall marathon and had another outstanding experience, culminating in a PR and breaking 3 hours. Not only did Chris guide me to these marathon time accomplishments, but more importantly, he helped grow my passion for running that I still maintain today. I highly recommend Chris to anyone seeking run coaching, whether you’re new to the sport or an experienced runner looking to reach the next level."​
