Because of the trainings here, I've been able to fall back in love with running.
This past Saturday I ran my first ever 10K and I couldn't be more proud. Following your Healthy Foundations Level 2 program gave me the confidence to not only run the race but finish it 4 minutes faster than I wanted to! Thanks again! I'm going to recover for a few weeks then start half marathon training! I never thought I could run more than 3 miles but to consistently prove myself wrong while smiling has been the best experience ever!

My Journey: From Injured Novice to Marathon Runner
Hi, I'm Dr. Casey!
I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, UESCA Run Coach, Precision Nutrition L1 Coach, and the Founder of Running4U.
More importantly, I am a follower of Jesus, husband to Sarah, and proud (& sometimes tired) new dad to Rosie.
You may know me from social media (@r4ucoaching) where I share regular running tips for beginners.
My journey with running began when I decided to give it a try in 2017.
I thought it was simple.
Put shoes on. Run. Repeat.
However, I was *delightfully* met with constant injuries, fatigue, and inconsistency. I struggled with a lack of motivation to get out the door, was making little to no progress, and felt discouraged by how hard it was to build positive momentum in my running.
It wasn’t as simple as I’d hoped!
As I was in physical therapy school at the time, I refused to accept this as normal. I went on to devote years to understanding the science of running, combining my expertise in physical therapy with the latest run coaching practices and strategies. I experimented with different approaches, studied the latest research, and applied this knowledge to my own running.
It was only after this that my running took off.
Less than six months later, I ran my first full marathon with zero injuries - a feat I certainly never thought was possible for someone with my injury-prone history.
Going through this process made me realize I had something special. I gradually started to coach runners one-on-one in 2020, and was ecstatic to see they were having the same success that I was!
Fast-forward to today, and thousands of new runners have experienced this same success.
That’s why I created the R4U Running Club. It contains the exact programs, methodology, and support that I wish I had when I started.
With it, I would have saved years battling injuries and lack of progress - and replaced it with positive momentum in my running.
With it, running truly is simple.
