Description
Hi, I’m Jim Starkey — coach, marathoner, and the founder behind Unbreakable Running Co. I started coaching runners because I know what it feels like to start over in both sports and life. I also know the power of taking that first step to making the change — through consistency, grit, and the kind of running that transforms more than just your body. It changes your mindset. It reminds you that you are capable of so much more. Whether you’re lacing up for your very first 5K, chasing a new PR, or just trying to find time for yourself in a busy life — I’m here to guide you. With personalized training, accountability, and a deep focus on injury prevention, I’ll meet you where you are and help you grow from there. This isn’t just about running. It’s about becoming unbreakable — one step, one mile, one breakthrough at a time. Let’s get after it together! – Jim
Athlete Requirements
No previous experience required, just a desire to get better! I truly enjoy working with beginners who are looking to start incorporating running as part of their lifestyle but am comfortable creating customized programs for competitive runners who are seeking to break through barriers and reach new personal bests!
