"When the runcoach team approached me about their mission to bring world class, personalized training to runners around the world at an affordable price, I was intrigued," said Keflezighi, speaking from Mammoth Lakes where he is preparing for the ING New York City Marathon. "Working with runcoach gives me an opportunity to help people build a passion for running, regardless of their experience."

As runcoach continues to make its proven training methodology more widely available, the company will seek out other passionate fitness experts. McGlynn explained that Keflezighi epitomizes the runcoach goal of reaching runners of all levels.

"Watch Meb at a race expo and he has to be torn away from all the people that want to speak with him," continued McGlynn. " His enthusiasm and passion to run and help others comes across in his personal interactions, as well as his inspirational performances in competition."

Keflezighi is set to participate in the ING New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 4, where he was victorious in 2009. The 37-year-old is the most decorated U.S. Olympic Marathon runner of his generation, winning silver in Athens in 2004 and finishing 4th in the 2012 London Olympics.
