COACH Steven estrada
“One run can change your day; many runs can change your life.” - Anonymous
Coach Steven has always exhibited a passion for running and fitness, whether it is competitive racing or for recreational purposes,
His high school years marked the beginning of his competitive running career. During his freshman year, Coach Steven joined his school’s varsity cross country team and helped them achieve multiple top three finishes. After graduating high school, he attended the University of South Alabama and earned his degree in physical therapy. Although his love for the sport still remained, he chose to set aside running competitively to focus on his new career and family.
In 2018 he resumed his competitive racing career and completed his first marathon that same year. Not long afterwards, he acquired his Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) coaching certification. Now, after setting new PR’s in every distance, qualifying for Boston multiple times, and experiencing a great deal of success in local and regional races, he has decided to begin coaching with Resolute Running.
His background in physical therapy and strength and conditioning helps him create running plans that are individualized for every runner's specific needs. He focuses on helping everyone achieve their goals, whether that is running their first 5k or training to be a competitive marathoner.
Steven has been married for 23 years and has two daughters. He believes learning is a lifelong endeavor and enjoys pushing himself, spending time outdoors, and pacing races when he’s not racing himself.
