Can't Stop Endurance

by Kevin Leathers

Coach Kevin began running over 40 years ago as a high school freshman.  His love of running developed on the track and the cross-country course.   He added triathlon to his list of passions while in college.   Kevin began coaching informally over 25 years ago and started Can't Stop Endurance in 2006.   He has coached runners from beginners to marathon champions.  Kevin has also coached thousands of runners through his work with the Team McGraw and St Jude Heroes charity programs.  The driving force in his endurance career has been the personal "test of self".  Coaching allows him to help others achieve their own personal peak performance.   30+ marathons including Boston, NYC & ChicagoHundreds of races from 5K to half-marathon35+ years of triathlon including sprint distance to IronmanUSA Triathlon Age-Group Nationals and USAT Age Group All-American statusUltrarunning experience:  50K, 50 Mile, 100 MileNational Coach - Team McGraw charity program (2007-2015)National Run Coach - St Jude Heroes (2010-2020) Head Coach - Run the 901 Training GroupsRun Coach - Victory Triathlon ClubHost - Can't Stop Endurance Podcast
