"Chris is one of the most patient and selfless people I know. During our time overseas together, I watched him run for others more than he ran for himself. When I first met Chris I thought he was just going to be someone to run with on occasion. However, he quickly became not only my coach, but everyone’s coach. Whether you needed to improve your running form, increase your speed, or a pacer for the ACFT, no matter what your needs were, Chris was there to help. He never left you behind. He always went your pace while giving you guidance along the way. With Chris’ coaching, I was able to hold a conversation for the first time while running and I ran a half marathon without stopping to walk for first time. Because of Chris, I always remember to practice tall, relaxed running."

"Under Chris's coaching, I was able to improve my race times for the 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon to the point that I set a PR in all three races. I improved my 5K race time from 32:27 (10:30/mi) ... on 15 OCT 23 to 28:37 (9:08/mi) ... on FEB 24."

"I'm so grateful for Monk's support as a running coach! His tips and on the ground training helped me push for and reach my goals. Before coming to Kuwait, I could only run 2 miles at a >12 min pace. Because of Monk's coaching, I was able to run many 5ks, reach my 50 and 100 mile patches, and run the Army 10 miler. Your help has changed my relationship with running, improved my self-esteem, and helped me make so many run buddies!"

"I really didn’t know what I would be capable of when I started long distance runs with Coach Monk. I started with wanting to do a 10 miler, and it ended up leading to my first full marathon. This wouldn’t have been possible without his helpbecause without advice on fueling, pacing, and race strategy I would have hit too many walls and given up on my own. As he helped me build my successes, one mile at a time, I learned that I was able to do things that I thought were impossible."

"Working with Chris was a game changer for me. After over a decade of running, I had never seen the kind of results I achieved under his guidance. Chris helped me train for the Boston Marathon, and his approach was critical to my success. He taught me the importance of taking my easy runs easier, which was something I had always struggled with. This balance allowed me to recover properly and perform better in my key workouts. Chris’s knowledge, encouragement, and ability to tailor my training to my needs made all the difference. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach!"
