Training that fits your week
I write your week around the days you can actually run, the shape you're in right now, and the race you're pointed at. Nothing copied and pasted.
1:1 Online Running Coaching
Running withRusso.
Personalized 1:1 coaching for 5K through marathon. A plan built around your life, weekly feedback, and real accountability. No templates, no noise.
All Levels

Training built around you
Consistency
Real accountability, every week
You get a coach, not a training app.
Most plans fall apart the first week life gets in the way. Here's what's different when someone is actually looking at your training.
You can always reach me
Text me whenever something comes up. I look at your runs, tell you what I'm seeing, and change what's next if it needs changing.
Getting to the line healthy
Training hard is important, but staying healthy matters just as much. I keep an eye on your training and make adjustments when needed so you can keep running and get to race day healthy.
How we work together
01
Apply
Fill out a short intake form about your history, injuries, schedule, and the goal you're chasing. I review it and reach out to set up an intro call.
02
Your training build
You get a periodized plan in your favorite app, with paces, purpose, and a clear path to race day.
03
Weekly coaching loop
Run, upload, get feedback. We adjust every week around how your body and life are actually responding.
04
Race and reset
A tailored taper, a race-day plan you rehearse, then a debrief that sets up the next block.
Your coach
Matt Russo
I'm a 2:33 marathoner and 1:10 half marathoner who has been running since 2011. I grew up racing, earning All-State honors in high school and a conference championship in college. Racing taught me what it takes to get to the line ready, but more importantly, it taught me that consistency is what gets you there.
I pride myself on being tough, gritty, and always showing up. That's the same approach I bring to coaching. Whether you're training for your first race or trying to run a personal best, I'll build your training around you and be there throughout the process.

Questions runners ask
No. You don't need to be an elite runner or train seven days a week to benefit from coaching. If you're serious about improving, I'll build a plan around your goals, your current fitness, and what you're capable of committing to.
