Welcome! I’m Coach Chris

I am the founder and head coach of Knighton Runs Marathon Coaching. Over the past decade, I have personally paced athletes to new PR’s in every distance from 1-Mile to the Marathon. I am an avid runner myself. I train 60-80 miles per week year round, and am a sub-5:00 miler, sub-1:15 half marathoner, and sub-3:00 full marathoner. I consistently race to the best of my ability.

I can pace you to an amazing race.

Have you ever struggled to pace yourself correctly in a race?

Did you go out too fast? Or did you struggle to find the energy on race-day that you so often drew upon in workouts?

If so, you are not alone. Whether it is getting overly excited or overwhelmed by the race, many runners struggle with pacing. Pacing yourself is a skill just like any other that requires constant attention and finetuning to get right. Don’t let all your hard work in training go to waste by screwing up your pacing on race day.

I love helping passionate athletes run faster and seeing the smiles on their faces when they exceed their goals.

My athletes ask me all the time if I can pace them to success in races, so I am now formally offering personal pacing services to help you crush your next race!

Running with a trusted personal race pacer is one of the most powerful ways to live up to your potential on race day.

Personal Pacing Services – What’s Included:

If you’d like a private pacer to help you hit your goal time at your next race, I’m your guy.

Before your race, I’ll organize a pre-race strategy zoom call to develop and finalize your race plan with you. Then I’ll meet you at your race, guide you through a pre-race warmup routine (if requested), and personally pace you every step of the way from starting gun to finish line.

Below are my standard rates for typical event distances which go to pay for my time and expertise. You are also responsible to cover my race entry fee and travel expenses. I live in Providence, Rhode Island but will travel anywhere that sounds fun upon your request!

I promise to give you nothing short of a world-class pacing job, just like the professionals leading the pack enjoy.
