Run with Roabel

If you've got a goal, we've got a goal...

I’m Roabel, and I’m passionate about coaching others to reach their running goals. Over the past seven years, running has completely transformed my life — now I’m ready to give back. Whether you’re training for your first race or chasing a new personal best, I’ve got you. I’ll bring accountability, structure, motivation, and support to help you reach your full potential. Let’s get after it together!

Let's get to work!

What brings you here?

Everyone’s running journey looks different. No matter where you are starting from, I’ve got you covered. I coach runners of all levels with personalized plans built around your goals, your lifestyle, and your current fitness level. Which one sounds like you?

Your first race

You’ve decided to sign up for your first race and that is huge. Whether it’s a 5K or a half marathon, I’ll help you build the foundation you need to train smart, stay consistent, and most importantly, get to the start line healthy. Receiving your finisher medal is going to feel so rewarding.

Finding your stride

You’ve crossed the finish line before, and now you’re ready to take things up a notch. Whether you’re moving from a 5K to a half marathon or tackling your first full, I’ll help you build the strength, structure, and confidence to handle more mileage and feel stronger with every run.

Chasing a PR

You’ve raced before and want to improve your next finish. Whether it’s shaving minutes off a 10K, half marathon, or aiming for a sub-3-hour marathon, I’ll help you train with a plan that maximizes your effort, keeps you consistent, and builds your confidence so you can give it your all on race day.

The VDOT Platform

I use the VDOT platform with athletes to build personalized training plans, track progress, and get them ready for race day. All your workouts, paces, and training zones are displayed on the platform, so everything you need is in one place.

Your VDOT score reflects your current running fitness and will increase as you improve. Enter a recent race time or run, and the calculator does the rest. It’s a reliable indicator of where to start your training. We’ll use your last race as your baseline and build from there!

Who I've Helped

Roabel is an incredible coach and truly helped me prepare for my first half marathon! He created a customized weekly plan that was easy to follow and kept me consistent, while also checking in regularly to make sure I wasn’t overtraining or burning out. I appreciated how encouraging he was — he pushed me when I needed it, but also reminded me to rest and recover. I went into race day feeling confident and well-prepared!

Training with Roabel was better than any app, AI tool, or other coach I tried to use. You can’t replace Roabel’s consistent communication, accountability, professionalism and passion when it comes to helping you achieve your running goals. If you’re serious about running, no matter the race or goal you have in mind, you should work with Roabel.

Charlie

The only rule was that I had to PR...He told me it would be tough to PR in ~11 weeks given the short timeline...Over those next 11 weeks, he was with me every step of the way, checking in on my training load, recovery, schedule, and even vacations...If you’re looking for a coach who will truly bring out your best, gets to know you as a person as much as an athlete, and will even be beside you on that last mile, Roabel is your guy. He finds a way to make the process enjoyable, even when it’s painful.
