Looking for a coach with a deep knowledge of running to help you hit your next race goal? If yes, I’m glad you’re here!

Your Coach

Brandon Fraleigh DPT

I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy, endurance coach, and athlete. I started running competitively in high school and it has shaped my whole life -from friendships made to my career and health. My favorite distances to race are the 5K and half marathon.

I coach at the high school level as well as on a 1:1 basis. I enjoy coaching runners of all skill levels who are hard-working, committed, and looking for more structure to challenge themselves.

If you’re looking for someone who cares about helping you perform well and stay healthy, you’ve come to the right place.

My Coaching Philosophy

My aim as your coach isn’t just to help you hit your race goal. I want to partner with you to help you grow as a runner. That might mean helping you build confidence, lean into new kinds of training, or learn how to find better balance in your training.

I apply a science-based framework while prioritizing your safety and monitoring your performance. I believe the best results come with time and consistent effort, not short bursts of all-out training.

As we work together to reach your goals, I value your commitment and feedback. I learn something new from every person I work with and enjoy getting to know you.

See What My Athletes Have to Say

  • I first met Brandon as my physical therapist after rupturing my Achilles tendon during a soccer game. He was patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging throughout my rehab, and I quickly realized I was in great hands. So when I found out he was also a running coach, I jumped at the chance to work with him as I started training for my first triathlon. Because I’d already seen how thoughtful and detail-oriented he was in PT, I knew he’d bring the same approach to coaching. Brandon takes the time to really understand your goals and builds a plan that works for you, not just a cookie-cutter program you can find online. He’s a great listener, knows when to push you, and frequently checks in to see how things are going. If something isn’t working, he’s quick to make adjustments to keep you on track. One thing I really appreciated was how he helped me break my big goal into smaller, manageable steps (both short-term and long-term) so the whole process felt very manageable. He was flexible with my schedule and always easy to reach if I had questions. We even met at a park so he could assess my running form, filmed my stride and walked me through the video so I could see exactly what to work on. I was nervous going into the triathlon. At just 14 months post-Achilles rupture, I knew the run would be the hardest part. With Brandon’s guidance, I was able to complete the race safely and confidently. Since working with him, my running form and times have improved across the board. If you’re looking for a coach who truly cares, knows his stuff, and will be in your corner every step of the way, I can’t recommend Brandon enough.
