“I’ve been working with Scott for a little over 3 months now and am astounded at how much I have progressed. I was coming off of a little over a year of injury and was really down on running. Scott has trained me in just over 3 months to run my first 50 miler! Not only am I healthy, feeling strong + awesome, but I have such an appreciation for and LOVE of running again. Scott’s experience, thoughtfulness in his training programs, and his never ending positivity are a gift.”

“A truly world-class athlete, Scott has helped me push my own training, be it in terms of mileage or trying to increase my speed. When you see the focus and knowledge he brings to his own training it’s not hard to think, “Yeah! I can do this!””
— Josh Katzman, Arlington, MA
“A student of the sport and well-versed in a variety of training techniques. I spent a weekend running the White Mountains with Scott and came away with many new insights that have made significant impacts to my training and racing. ”
— David Huss, Seattle, WA
“After years of running for fun and seeing marginal improvement, Scott helped me focus my training. The gains were almost instantaneous. Under his tutelage, I brought my 5k time down by a minute and a half in just a few months.”
— Eric Hodge, Watertown, MA
“Scott helped me take two and a half minutes off my marathon PR and even more off my half marathon PR...and have fun while doing it! His approach is straightforward but fun. None of those weird “coach mind games.” (I got a lot of that in college.) Highly recommend!”
— Claire Wallace Smiley, MA
“Scott was amazing in my preparation for my first 100 mile race.
Every workout Scott prepared had purpose. Scott understands the value of hard training, while also working it into your work/life/family balance. He’s also always reachable and responsive if you need some advice or want to pick his brain.
I wouldn’t have had such a fun day in my first 100 miler without the help from my coach Scott at RunFastah. Scott’s training program put me through the ringer and prepared me incredibly well. His knowledge got me to race-day with confidence, instead of looming questions like, “did I train enough?””
— Davis Cutter, Boston, MA
“I was introduced to Scott & Run Fastah through some mutual friends. I’d decided I wanted to BQ and in order to do so needed some real coaching and accountability.
I got all that and more! Scott laid out excellent plans week after week. Never felt overwhelming but always felt challenged. I really feel like the feedback I gave was listened to and accounted for and adjustments made as we progressed together.
What I like about Scott is his multi-faceted approach to training. We talk not only about running but also about diet, mental space and keeping that PMA.
When I walked to every race during our training time including the Chicago Marathon, I always felt prepared and ready to perform. I was confident at every start. I absolutely credit that to Scott. I PR’d that marathon and would’ve BQ’d if BAA hadn’t changed their requirements the week before!
The other thing I learned is that it’s not about THIS race or THAT race. It’s about the journey, the long term goals and my long term health as a runner. That’s why I’m grateful to have found Run Fastah and will continue with them as I grow as an athlete.”

“I worked with Scott for over a year, he helped me get through a multi day mountain ultra race, a 50km trail race and helped get me in shape to finish my first Ironman event! I won over my friends in each of the events (is there anything more important ;) hehehe just kidding) although my friends and I love having friendly competition between each other and I’m usually in the middle of them, so was fun winning for once! I do have to say I feel a little bad because it feels like I was cheating by having Scott coach me as they were training along as normal. Scott helped me stay focused and held me accountable for getting my sessions in when appropriate and being ok with missing some here and there as daily life got in the way with young kids and work etc. I had a blast working with Scott and his plans were effective and fun, highly recommend!”
— Eddie Hult, Cambridge, MA
“Totally happy with the training. I ran a 16:49 5K with the help of Run Fastah. I have worked specifically with Scott and he is great about checking in with you, seeing where you are at and adjusting your workout accordingly. The communication is great, and they answer questions with a quick response. Very happy to have Run Fastah as my training team.”
