Looking to work with motivated individuals, whether you’ve been running for 10 days or 10 years, I want to help you achieve your goals. I competed at the D3 level in college, and have experience training for, and working with people in events from the 800m all the way up to the marathon.

My Philosophy on training is consistent work. You may hear the term keep the ball rolling, and this is exactly the idea. I want training to be strenuous enough to make you push, but should not leave you feeling absolutely smashed. This comes from years of first hand experience that ending a workout one rep short is normally better than Turing yourself inside out just to make pace. My overall goal for my athletes is to make it to the starting line healthy, and with the ability to achieve their goals.

I’ve been coaching on Team RunRun for 3.5 years. In that time, I’ve worked closely with one long-term athlete who came to me with a single goal: finish a 5K in under 30 minutes. We hit that goal in 3 months. Over the next three years, we kept building. That same athlete has now completed 3 full marathons and 3 half marathons under my coaching. I believe in long-term development over quick fixes. I’ll write you a plan that challenges you, respects your life, and gets you to the starting line healthy and ready to race.

I’m Logan McKenzie — a distance runner, coach, and precision machinist based in Lakewood, Colorado.

Running has been the constant thread through everything I do. I competed at the NCAA Division III level for four years, earned All-American honors three times, and won three conference championships. Those years taught me what disciplined, consistent training actually looks like — not the highlight reel version, but the early mornings, the hard intervals, and the slow recovery runs that nobody notices but that build everything.

After college I found my way to the trails and mountains of Colorado and fell in love with what this terrain demands of you. Sky races at 11,000 feet. Technical singletrack. Long days in the mountains. It lit something up that road racing never quite did.

I’ve been coaching on Team RunRun for over three years, watching athletes go from their first 5K to multiple marathon finishes. I coach the way I train — evidence-based, athlete-centered, and built around your real life. The best training plan is the one you can actually execute consistently, week after week.

If you want a coach who has lived the process from collegiate track to Colorado mountain racing, understands the science, and genuinely invests in getting you to your goals — let’s build something together.

The Jack Daniel’s formula plays a big role in my coaching philosophy, while also drawing from Tom “Tinman” Schwartz, Lydiard, and my college coach Shawn Jakubowski.
