Running Coach in St. Petersburg, FL
I'm Zach Springer, a UESCA-certified running coach who lives and trains in St. Pete. I coach busy professionals in Tampa Bay, and online anywhere, from a first 5K to a first 100-miler.
Training Where You Actually Run
I run the same routes you do: North Shore Park, the Pinellas Trail, the streets of Kenwood and the trails at Fort De Soto. Your plan is built around them, and around Florida's heat, humidity and flat terrain.
Built for Tampa Bay Race Season
- St. Pete Run Fest (November): 5K, 10K and half marathon on the downtown waterfront. I'm racing the 10K and half this year as Team Coach Zach Springer.
- Gasparilla Distance Classic (February, Tampa): 5K, 8K, 15K and half marathon
- Ultras and destination races: I've won the Iron Will 100 and finished the Kaçkar by UTMB 50K with 9,432 ft of climbing, after training on flat Florida ground.
Coaching Runners Right Here
I'm currently coaching a St. Pete ultrarunner, a veteran of multiple ultras, through a 100-mile race this month.
