My Story, Your Advantage

Owen Pittman

Head Coach & Founder

From 5:06
to 4:07.

13+Years Experience

10×All-American

1×Natl Champion

NAIA National Champion — 2025

I started as a 5:06 miler and an 18:26 5K runner. Over 13+ years, I cut that down to a 4:07 mile and sub-15:00 5K — becoming a 10× All-American and a National Champion at Marian University along the way. Now I'm training post-collegiately with my sights set on breaking 4:00 in the mile.

I know what it's like to chase PRs, fight through injuries and setbacks, and grind through the training it takes to truly transform. I'm still competing myself — which means I can run with you, pace you, and push you in workouts.

Whether you're a high schooler chasing a scholarship, a post-collegiate staying competitive, or an adult runner trying to crush a new PR, I bring both science-based training and real racing experience to help you succeed.

Built for Every Runner.

Real coaching for ages 16–45. Whether it's your first race or your fastest — if you're serious about improving, you're in the right place.

High School Athletes

Chasing a scholarship or trying to break through — you need more than a team plan. You need a coach who sees you individually and builds your training around your goals.

Post-Collegiate Runners

Your eligibility is done but your running isn't. Stay competitive, keep improving, and train with real purpose — not just to stay in shape.

Adult Runners

First race or fifth PR — you're serious about getting better and done settling for generic apps and cookie-cutter plans. Train smart, stay healthy, run faster.

Training Philosophy

You're not chasing
fatigue.
You're chasing adaptation.

Random hard work isn't the limiter anymore. Every session has a purpose — and the structure is what separates athletes who feel fit from athletes who race fast.

Science-Based

VO₂ max, lactate threshold, neuromuscular efficiency, recovery timing — these aren't buzzwords. They're the variables that determine how fast you race. We train them precisely, not randomly.

Targeted adaptation over guesswork

Periodized

Fitness isn't built in one week. We build, absorb, sharpen, taper, and peak — on purpose. The structure is what creates confidence on race day, not just hard work in training.

Build → Absorb → Sharpen → Peak

Holistic

Strength, mobility, fueling, sleep, stress — they're not extras. They're multipliers. When one is off, you feel it. When all of them are dialed in, everything clicks.

Not at all. I coach runners of all levels — from someone lacing up for their first race to competitive athletes chasing PRs. What matters isn't your current fitness level, it's that you're serious about improving and willing to put in the work. If that's you, we're a good fit.

An app gives you a generic plan. I give you a coach. I know your goals, your schedule, your injury history, and how you respond to training. When life gets busy or something isn't working, I adjust. No app does that. And at $39/month, there's no reason to settle for a one-size-fits-all solution.

Yes — the majority of coaching is fully remote through Final Surge, Zoom, and messaging, so your location doesn't matter. In-person sessions are available as an add-on for athletes in the Indianapolis area, but they're never required.

Yes. No long-term contracts, no cancellation fees. If it's not working for you, you can cancel anytime. My goal is to earn your commitment every month — not lock you into one.

Final Surge is the platform I use to deliver your training. You'll see your full workout calendar, log your runs, upload GPS data, and receive notes and feedback from me — all in one place. It's free for athletes to use and takes about 5 minutes to set up.
