OUR MISSION TO YOU

"Fostering a passion for the sport of running by strengthening and educating those who make the sport worthwhile."

The Ohio Center for Running Performance (OCRP) strives to promote and grow the sport of running. We believe in the physical and psychosocial benefits that stem from running and aim to help our clients experience those benefits, as well as find joy in the sport. We seek to research and apply methods to decrease the risk of running-related injuries that are discouraging and inhibit your ability to enjoy running. We are here to support every runner and to promote a healthy, active lifestyle. We understand that every runner holds unique goals; whether you run to achieve a specific performance goal, run to enhance your health, or run to relieve your mounting stress, we are here to support you in achieving your running aspirations. We focus on utilizing science-based testing and valid performance metrics to individualize our programs to you since every stride, every goal and every runner are completely unique.   

​

Based out of southeastern Ohio in the rolling hills of Athens, OH, we pride ourselves on being in a city with a rich running culture. Whether you are from the Athens community or out-of-state, we are here to serve and be accessible to runners of all ages and abilities. We want to provide runners with state-of-the-art resources and services but minimize barriers of cost.  

​

Our unique, collaborative team is devoted to practicing with compassion while being at the brink of innovation in order to create a richer, more meaningful client experience. Instead of creating one program to fit all, we focus on creating a completely unique program to fit one: you. Let’s grow the sport of running together: it all starts with you, the runner, coach, and practitioner contributing to enhancing the sport of running.
