Michael has 20 years of experience as a professional fitness trainer and 18 years as a running and marathon coach. After catching the running bug in , Michael trained for and finished his first marathon. In that role, he coached and assisted Greater Houston area walkers and runners who fund raised for tfundraisedon, trained for and finished the Honolulu, Hawaii and Dublin Ireland Marathons. During the early years of his personal marathon training and run coaching career, he found that group training programs that truly catered to the personal needs of runners of every skill level were lacking in the Greater Houston area.
He founded In Flight Running in in hopes of creating a run coaching program and training experience that was built around a much higher level of support and coaching that truly welcomed runners of any skill level including first time marathoners and half marathoners.
