Josh Dedering found his love for the sport of running when he was in high school and had a coach who inspired him to push his mental and physical limits to get the most out of himself. He carried that same drive and motivation throughout the years, as he became an All-American runner in college and competed at the 2016 Olympic Trials in the marathon during his professional running career. 

Josh realized that running was not only a way to push himself to get the most out of his physical capabilities, but that it was a way to develop and incorporate the valuable lessons this sport teaches us about other aspects in life. As he continues to compete, he’s found joy in inspiring and coaching others to work towards their own running goals, no matter what level they are at.

He’s been involved with coaching athletes since 2018 and was the head Run Camp coach for a marathon training group at Gazelle Sports. Josh is eager to help you discover and push your physical limits as you chase the tree line towards your future goals!
