Scott Browning's Story

Scott is a running coach, exercise physiologist, and coffee enthusiast with over 25 years of experience guiding individuals to find balance in running and life. A former Olympic Trials hopeful, Scott knows firsthand the dedication, setbacks, and small victories that define the running journey. He believes running is about more than performance—it’s about finding strength, joy, and purpose in every step.

Fueled by family, a love for good food, and strong coffee, Scott brings a human touch to coaching. His experience helps runners avoid injuries, optimize busy schedules, and embrace running as a part of a balanced, meaningful life. Whether through mentoring, writing, or consulting, Scott’s mission is to help others find their rhythm—on the road and beyond.

Running has always been more than a sport to me—it’s where I’ve processed life’s hardest moments and celebrated its best. As a kid, I ran to cope with losing my dad. Later, as an Olympic Trials hopeful, I ran to chase a dream, pouring everything I had into the journey. Along the way, running became my teacher: it showed me resilience when I struggled, humility when I stumbled, and joy in the simplest steps. It’s shaped who I am—not just as a coach but as a step-dad, a husband, and someone who believes running can help us find balance, strength, and meaning in every part of life.
