EXCELLENT
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommended! I started training with Chris for the Boston Marathon and would highly recommend his coaching for any runner that wants to become a better athlete. His program included running, strength conditioning and mental preparation that allowed me to become a well rounded competitor. It is important to mention that Chris is very accessible and personable in his teaching. He is always willing to answer even the most basic questions and offer advice on all aspects of the training process. I have reached my highest level of fitness with Chris and would not have gotten here without his guidance. Again, highly recommended!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coach Chris has helped me reach my running goals including recent PRs in the half marathon and full marathon (at Boston!). I really enjoy his measured approach and advice on fueling and pacing.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I ran my first marathon last year but struggled to finish well. So, I purchased Coach Chris’s marathon training plan (50MPW) with the goal of running 10 minutes under my BQ qualifying time (age 60-64). I moved through the first three phases of the plan with little difficulty, then began the last phase with MP tempo runs (mid-week or long runs). By the time I was ready to taper, I could feel the positive effects of the training plan and, with that, confidence for running my marathon. As it happened, Coach Chris’s plan had me more ready than I could have imagined! I easily kept my MP throughout, running nearly even splits through mile 23. I ran the last 3 miles at a pace more than 15 seconds faster than my MP. I crossed the finish line with a 9+ minute personal best, 11+ minutes under my BQ time, and first in my age. (And my recovery has been so much better than last year!) I look forward to Coach Chris helping me prepare for Boston 2026!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris has been a great coach! While he coaches a lot of runners, his coaching feels very tailored and personal. I’ve made so much progress under ChrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris is an incredibly knowledgeable running coach! I had previously bought one of his coaching plans and had success with it and so I wanted him to coach me 1-on-1. He tailors your training plan to suit your needs and likes. He's encouraging and understanding. He checks in frequently and gives feedback on your training. I have only been using him about 2 1/2 months and already dropped 5-minutes off my marathon time. I can't wait to see what another year brings!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coach Chris has been an absolute game-changer for my running journey. His deep knowledge of the sport is incredible, but what sets him apart is his ability to tailor training specifically to my abilities and goals—rather than just applying a one-size-fits-all approach. He pushes me when I need it, holds me accountable, and hones in on the areas where I can improve most. Since working with him, I’ve seen major progress, consistently hitting new PRs and feeling stronger with every run. His coaching has not only helped me improve as a runner but has also deepened my love for the sport. Highly recommend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Knighton Runs coaching has truly changed the game for me! In our one-on-one form training last weekend, I gained priceless insights that instantly refined my technique. His knowledge and customized approach enabled me to understand the basics better, enhancing both my confidence and efficiency. Now, as I enter week 9 of my 12-week base building plan from him, I feel stronger and more concentrated than ever. I highly recommend Chris Knighton to anyone looking to take their running to the next level!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started running at the beginning of this year and felt I needed some assistance, tips and tricks. Coach Chris has provided amazing guidance. With his plan, I can now run consistently without stopping and control my heart rate. I've successfully completed 5Ks, exceeding my expectations. Chris's one-on-one coaching enhanced my form and offered expert tips. He gave me great advice on how to be a better runner. Would definitely recommend him!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience working with Coach Erica-challenging but appropriate plan. I felt ready for my marathon. I appreciated her knowledge in running during pregnancy.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Chris in summer 2024. He is the best coach. The weather in Hong Kong is very sultry and humid in summer. It is difficult to keep up with the target pacing. Chris's careful assistance, the use of different methods, and guided me through every step to make it easy to achieve the goal. I would highly recommend him!Load more
