Reviews of Knighton Runs Marathon Coaching

Mike Preston

I hired Coach Chris last year with the goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon. He’s been such a great fit for me. The one thing that really sets Chris apart is his level of attention he gives to each of his athletes. He’s always available and is a GREAT listener. His style is very personalized; none of his coaching is cookie cutter. I would definitely recommend hiring Coach Chris regardless of fitness level or goals.

Coach Chris Knighton is great! I have been very impressed with his 1 on 1 virtual coaching. He is detailed, thorough, responsive, and knowledgeable. I have taken my running to the next level thanks to Coach Chris. His book “Run Faster Marathons. The Proven Path to the PR” is excellent as well. Highly recommend him as a running coach for any level runner.

Running with the guidance from Chris has been a game changer! Chris has proven his knowledge for the sport and is constantly creating new “phases” to help improve my running and reach my goals. Highly recommend joining the team if looking to hit some PR’s in the near future.

I started working with Coach Chris after a couple disappointing marathons with a previous coach. After a few months of working together, not only am I feeling stronger, fitter, and more prepared for the next marathon than ever (thanks to some great workouts and emphasis on consistency from Coach Chris), I’ve also hit massive PRs along the way in every distance I’ve attempted while working together. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable coach to help you reach your running goals (and enjoy doing so), Coach Chris is your guy!

Chris has been helping me on my journey to becoming a runner. He's thoughtfully created programming that steadily builds my endurance & strength up while avoiding injury. He holds me accountable but isn't too pushy and has adjusted my programs when sickness or life happened. If you're looking for a coach who is thoughtful and truly shows up for you, he's your guy.

Chris has been an unbelievable asset to training and racing. He is knowledgeable across any distance from the mile to marathon. Chris has been instrumental to bringing consistency to my running. He also has the keen ability to help push you beyond what you think you are capable of while remaining realistic. I would highly recommend Chris to coach you towards whatever goal you may have. Throughout the past almost 2 years of working together he is always available, constantly checking in, and has been critical to my growth as a runner!

Chris is a great run coach. This was my first time working with a running coach and I found it extremely helpful to keep myself on track with not only running but my PT, strength and activation/drills. I initially found it hard to let go of my own training and give it up to someone else but by the end of our training together I came to trust Chris’ guidance and training plans. Chris is open to suggestions and always flexible with accommodating training changes depending on how your week and general training is going. He is responsive through the coaching app and always has his plans uploaded for the week ahead. He is also able to provide rational for specific workouts and training situations if you have questions or concerns. He will also incorporate specific strength work and other exercises if you so request. For example I requested PT be plugged into my schedule a few days a week to help keep me engaged with important prehab work. The only improvement/divergence I had from Chris’ training plans was probably wanting more track based speed work and more long runs in my training plan but this is because that is the kind of work I was used to in a build up. We did end up plugging in a few more LRs at my request and mid week tempos after a good discussion. I did not end up finishing this training cycle due to a personal health issue that had absolutely nothing to do with running or training but I have absolutely full faith that had I stayed in my normal state of health I would have met and possibly exceeded my goals for my marathon based on Chris’ training and how I was progressing. 10/10 recommend!

I have competed in numerous OCRs, obstacle course races, and have found that running regularly is a bit difficult for me, aka boring. I used to run ages ago but have not had a coach since high school. This year I truly wanted to focus on being a runner and competing in road races and completing a half marathon in Berlin! Chris has been extremely knowledgeable, motivational and dedicated to helping me reach my goals. His running plans are fantastic and he works with runners to find their groove. I feel strong as a runner and have tools to keep running as a life long activity. Now ! can finally say that I am a runner who enjoys running!!

I was a distance runner in my 20s (10 years ago) and had some success, running a number of half marathons, and the San Diego Marathon in 3:20. But hip and knee injuries forced me to take up other forms of exercise. At the beginning of COVID I decided to get back into running. I needed a better plan than winging it like I did 10 years ago, so I googled run coaches and came across Chris Knighton. He’s developed a plan that’s totally realistic, and adjusts it based on my goals and schedule. Over the past few years, a 5k was the longest race I’d run. Last month, I was able to run the Blessing, a 10 mile road race in Narragansett, at 7:10/mile, which was way faster than my expectations and didn’t think I’d get back to that shape as quickly as I did. I’m running the Black Goose half in September and the Narragansett full in October, and feel like I’m on the absolute right path with Chris’s coaching. He gives practical advice, while building confidence. He’s always available to answer questions, and meets to game plan for races so you feel extra prepared. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.

I have been working with Chris for nearly two years, and the progress I’ve seen is amazing! He’s helped me go from a casual runner to an ultramarathoner. The workouts and training plans he designs are thoughtful and personalized, and they always push me to do things I wouldn’t think I was capable of on my own. I’ve learned so much about both road running and trail running, and I love that I’m always gaining tools and growing in a sport and a community that I’ll be able to be a part of for years to come

Helen Leffers

I highly recommend Coach Chris! After a few years off, he helped me get back into running safely, consistently, and with intention. I learned so much along the way, and now I'm left with a solid foundation that I know will serve me well for many years to come. Thanks, Coach Chris!

ELIZABETH KARVONEN

Coach Chris was super helpful in getting me over the finish line for the Chicago Marathon. My goal was to finish, to be injury free and enjoy it. All of which I accomplished thanks to Coach Chris! The training plan which included strength and my peloton rides was great. Thanks Coach Chris!

Cristina Palo

I have been training with Coach Chris for a bit over 6 weeks now. I got injured several times during my last 1/2 Marathon training and decide to walk way from self training and look for help. I came across a podcast interview about Marathon training with Chris Knighton and so glad I reached out...I am extremely happy with it...the workouts are detailed and easy to follow (with instructional videos), very tailored to my busy schedule/needs and the platform used, makes it easy to access and sync workouts with Apple Watch/Garmin/Strava! I am starting to train for my first full Marathon and could not be happier with my choice!

Kelly Thurston

I came to Chris as a beginner in November of 2021 with the goal of completing a half marathon in the spring. His training helped me become both physically and mentally prepared for the race. Chris is consistent in his training plans, communication, and support. He is attentive to individual needs and responds quickly to email or text. Additionally, Knighton running connects you to a community of positive and influential teammates. I would highly recommend Knighton Runs Marathon Coaching!

Chandi Kodthiwada

I was a new runner, never ran more than a mile in my life - I started running without a plan and just ran 2x day but I wasn’t seeing any progress - I reached out to Coach Chris and through structured coaching (training & race prep!) and mentoring - I have been able to run longer and run faster and have been able to surprise myself with every race (and the PRs) - Coach Chris has the right attitude, knows how to learn and improve an athlete’s rhythm = I would highly recommend him if you want a personal coaching expert and for those of you on the fence - this is your sign 🪧 to do it… ✅

Lisa Curtin

I have a pround Knighton Lion for a year now. Coach Chris takes great care to meet the individual needs of his athletes physically and emotionally. He is highly knowledgeable and accessible. Whether you're looking to PR for a race, or just need an accountability person, I highly recommend!

Teresa Fiori

I began working with Chris about 3-4 months ago to safely get back into running after rehabbing a leg injury. Chris puts so much time and effort into smartly planning a training routine that has safely helped me reach my highest mileage in over 2 years. In addition, I am overall injury free and getting faster. Working with Chris has truly been an investment in myself and I am excited to see how far it will take me!

Natalie Stcyr

This is my 3rd marathon training Under Chris for Knighton runs, I love his training style, I look forward to the workouts and especially the long runs workout, I never dred the runs, Chris totally gets me and my running , I look back at my 8 other marathons and always think “how In the world did I get thru these marathon trainings with no Chris “ I will never go back to training alone

Bob Merckel

I’ve been running with Knighton for about three months now and I could not be happier. Coach Chris has worked with me to help crystallise my goals and to achieve them in an efficient and productive manner. I always feel “heard” and I’m being challenged without ever feeling like the back of the pack runner I’ve become these past few years. I’m seeing consistent improvement and I haven’t been so happy to be running in several years. I can’t recommend him and this group highly enough.

Heather Kaplan

Chris has helped me progress quickly, and I've hit so many PRs with him. He's takes time to listen to my goals and is great about explaining the purpose of each run. Plus, he gives frequent feedback and is always available. I really appreciate the high touch and custom approach.

Victor McKenna

Professional approach with a personal touch. Chris Knighton is a great coach who is personal and caring. I highly recommend him to help you get faster and more efficient in your running desires.

Paul Franzese

In the two months I’ve worked with Chris I can tell that his training has really elevated my running. He’s super responsive and always helpful !

lella baker

As a new runner, I’ve found working with Knighton Running very helpful with training plans that have kept me injury free and engaged in running.

Mary Kate OBrien

Amazing running coach! Very communicative and informative. Highly recommend.

Sam Njue

Excellent Coach to work with! I’m a proud sub-3 hour marathoner!

Ashley Flynn

So grateful that Chris was recommended to me! He is exactly the kind of running coach I was looking for--positivity, encouragement, accountability, and knowledge. This is the most consistent I have ever been in my running, and I feel empowered to be the runner I know I can be. This is the investment in yourself that you deserve!!

John Gunn

Coach Chris is a phenomenal coach with a specialty in coaching marathoners of all abilities! We have been working together for nearly 3 years now and he’s completely transformed my running game. I came to him a new runner with big goals and year after year we continue to crush them. Completely recommend!
