Running Helps But it Doesn’t Fix Everything
You still feel the weight.
The anxiety.
The mental exhaustion that doesn’t go away after a run.
And part of you wonders…
“Will this ever actually get better?”
That’s where most people stay stuck.
Not because they’re weak
But because they’re trying to figure it out alone.
Not Just a Running Coach. A Guide Through the Struggle.
Most running coaches focus on pace, mileage, and performance.
I focus on you as a whole person.
Through my 5 Pillars Framework—Faith, Mental Health, Community, Mindset, and Race Readiness—you’ll build more than endurance…
You’ll build resilience that carries into every part of your life.
But what if…
“I’m not a good enough runner.”
You don’t need to be. Most of my athletes start exactly where you are.
“I don’t know if this will actually help my mental health.”
Running alone won’t. But guided support, structure, and faith-centered coaching? That’s where change happens.
“I’m worried about the cost.”
That’s exactly why we start with a free call so you can see if this is the right fit before committing to anything.
I’m Gerald Collins, founder of RunRev Coaching.
I’ve faced my own battles of vision loss, mental health struggles, and the weight that comes with both.
Running didn’t fix everything.
But it became a path forward.
Now I help others use running to become stronger than the struggle -mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Based in Southwest Ohio, I work with runners locally in Dayton and Cincinnati, as well as athletes across the U.S. through online coaching.
If you’re looking for a faith-based running coach for mental health, you’re in the right place.
“Coach Gerald is a blessing. I thought I needed a drill sergeant, but his gentle accountability was exactly what I needed. He genuinely cared about my well being physically, mentally, and spiritually. He was abundantly gracious when I couldn’t pull it together. If you aren’t sure he’s right for you, at least have a conversation with him to find out.”
Heather, runner from Dayton, OH
“The workouts were fun and challenging and tailored to both push me and work within my schedule and realistic availability. Working with Gerald really met my expectations of resetting how I approach running.””The workouts were fun and challenging and tailored to both push me and work within my schedule and realistic availability.
