Greg McMillan, exercise scientist and coach

Combining the worlds of exercise science and practical coaching, Greg McMillan coaches a wide range of runners from the very beginning stages to elite-level. “My focus has always been success for all runners,” says McMillan who has also coached physically challenged athletes. Although he worked for two years with famed Italian coach Dr. Gabriele Rosa as part of the world-class Fila Discovery progam, most of the athletes McMillan coaches now are middle to back-of-the-packers who juggle running with family and work commitments. His training philosophy is to get the most bang for limited training time. McMillan is the president of McMillan Running which supervises the training of runners all over the world. A competitive runner himself, the 37-year-old McMillan lives with his wife Tracy in Austin, Texas.

Words of wisdom: “I’ve always enjoyed helping people achieve their goals. I do this by applying sound principles of training and mix them with an understanding of your current life, work or family situation. None of us have unlimited free time for running, but I can help you maximize the results by showing you how to use what time you do have efficiently."
