The Poole Running Lab is an online coaching platform specializing in performance-driven coaching for all runners looking to hit their next Personal Best or run their first ever long distance race! The Poole Running lab was founded by Chris Poole, who specializes in coaching distances from the 800 Meters all the way to the Marathon. Coach Poole is a former Collegiate Runner at Linfield University, and has coached runners of all ages for the past 5 years.  He works with individuals who feel like they aren't improving as a runner, finding online plans aren't cutting it anymore, just graduated college and are still looking to compete at a high level team based environment, or looking for someone who will be transparent in communication, listen to you, and obsess over your progress as much as you do!

Through Poole Running Lab and his partnership with Team RunRun, Coach Poole delivers individualized coaching and training plans that are flexible and tailored to each athlete's life. Everyone has different commitments and obligations in their lives that can make one's training different from others. He takes the guesswork out of training and will cater to your specific needs and goals, while developing you as a runner to achieve and conquer what you thought was impossible.

From first-time runners to competitive runners pursuing personal bests and national standards, Coach Poole emphasizes smart progression, injury prevention, and race-specific preparation. Each PRL athlete will receive their own Team Gear to rep at races, specific pre-race calls and docs tailored to your race goals and needs, and become a part of a supportive community that celebrates everyone's successes!
