Faith-based online running coaching for beginner and intermediate runners in Cincinnati.
I’m Coach Gerald Collins, and I coach Cincinnati runners online, so distance never gets in the way. If running has been the thing that holds you together, or the thing you keep starting and stopping, I can help you build something that lasts.
I started running in 2012 to work through grief after my mother died from breast cancer. Running became how I got through hard seasons, and it’s why I coach the way I do. I’m a running coach, not a therapist. I coach the runner, and I care about the whole person.
I also know Cincinnati running. I first ran the Flying Pig Half Marathon, Oinked for Life, in 2016, I’ve been part of that weekend for many years after that. I haven’t missed a weekend since 2022. Read Oinked for Life

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.” Jen Y.
