About Coach Greg

Running from 2006 to 2008

Charleston Runs is the website of Greg Shore, a Road Runners Club of America certified running coach and a USA Track and Field Level 1 coach. In just two years, Coach Greg went from the couch to coach and participated in over 50 races including  a 15K, half-marathon, triathlon, 2.4 mile open water swim, and a marathon. During the journey, he endured one knee operation and had to start over again and along the way, as the pounds melted away, so did the personal walls Greg had built around himself. He also discovered that more and more friends were asking questions about running and how to train.

Kiawah Island Half-Marathon Finishers

Coach Greg has coached runners in everything from getting faster in a mile time trial to completing their first marathons. He also coaches beginning runners for the Charleston Running Club and has coached at the official Cooper River Bridge Run training clinics. His athletes range in age from 10 to 74. At the 2008 Kiawah Half-Marathon, he coached eight runners. Four of them finished their first half-marathon and four of them set new personal records at that distance.
