Why join 1,200 other self-coached consistent runners and sign up?

This is a newsletter about how runners can live better lives through consistent self-improvement. Unlike other running brands, The One Percent Better Runner focuses on how small, daily habit improvements ripple into broader life success, helping runners perform better both on and off the road, track, or dirt.

Stay up-to-date

Once a week (ish), I’ll drop into your inbox with:

  • The latest on how I’m applying small, intentional changes to my training (and life)

  • Actionable tips to help you build habits that stick, even when life gets messy

  • Tools, tactics, and insights from running coaches, health pros, and mindset experts

Think of it like a time-saving cheat sheet for creating better habits—packaged in a quick, no-BS read so you can get back to doing what matters. Bonus: it’s not just about running. These ideas are designed to help you level up in your career, relationships, and personal growth, too.
