Meet The Coach
Marathon Coach: Sam Davis
USATF Certified Coach Sam Davis has more than 40 years of competitive running experience. A collegiate cross-country champion and respected RunVermont Hall of Fame member, Sam has completed over 27 marathons and numerous half marathons, boasting personal records of 2:32 and 1:08 in marathon and half marathon distances, respectively.
"I believe that one size does not fit all when it comes to training. I strive to customize training programs to an individual's lifestyle and include factors such as running age, past injuries, and long-term goals. I have learned more from my mistakes than from my successes and work to apply that knowledge to help runners achieve their goals."
