About Coach Mark Hadley
Coach Hadley's Background
Mark has had a life long passion for the sport of running, starting as a kid in the mountains of North Carolina running in road races and track and cross country meets, continuing on through college where he ran track and cross country for the University of Mississippi, to post collegiately and the world of road and trail races. A student of the sport with a passion for understanding and studying all aspects of running, Mark turned his attention from competitor to coach two decades ago to help other runners chase and achieve their running goals. Coach Hadley works extensively on training theory, marrying sound physiological principles with real world application based on individual needs and situations. Coach Hadley has presented at conferences and expos and been the guest speaker on numerous podcasts sharing his knowledge and pioneering new concepts in training.

What Runners Are Saying
Kevin H -
"Coach Hadley took me from running a 4:30 marathon to 2:53, which allowed me to fulfill my lifelong dream of running the Boston Marathon. He created a training plan the kept me injury free while getting me in the best shape of my life. I highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in finding out how good they can be.".
Justin A -
"I went from a 5+ hour marathon in 2017 to a 3:25 in 2018. From there coach helped me completely rewrite my record book in 2019, doing things that I never could have possibly imagined .... and nabbed that elusive BQ with my marathon PR of 3:04:12..... Coach Hadley absolutely belongs on the Mount Rushmore of running coaches."
Tia S -
"Coach Mark Hadley has been my coach for many years! Under his guidance I have set PR's in every distance from the mile through the marathon. His training has helped me qualify for Boston, set state running records, and most recently qualify for the World Age Group Marathon Championships. I'm so thankful for his influence in my running this past decade. If I could have any running coach I would pick Coach Hadley every time!"
Claudio S -
"I chose coach Hadley because I wanted someone that could help me improve as a masters runner. With his guidance not only has he helped me improve but I have been running some of my fastest times at every distance from the 5K to the marathon well into my 50's, including running my fastest marathon at under 2:50 as a 53 year old. And more importantly avoiding any injuries.
Hiring coach Hadley ....has been one of the best decisions I have made regarding training."
