Gotta Run began in the summer of 2020.
Created by Michael Gotta, a life long runner, the dream of Gotta Run is to help people realize their own gifts and talents in the sport of endurance running and to aid individuals in succeeding in their personal goals.
Gotta Run is focused on individual endurance running plans that are goal-oriented. Whether you’ve been running for years and know you have a lot of talent or you have never run before but want to see what you can do, Gotta Run wants to help you!
We can work on plans for runners ranging from the 15OO meter distance all the way to the marathon. If your goal is outside of this scope, please contact me to discuss further.
My Experience
As mentioned in the introduction, I have been running for a long time. This is not my way of telling you I know everything, but more to express that I love running and have been doing it for a long time. Sticking with something shows a quality that is hard to come by these days in just about anything. I want all my clients to love running just as much as I do, whether seasoned runners like myself or someone completely new to it. Do not be intimidated by a runner’s experience or compare yourself!
