Michael Morrison

I graduated from the University of Colorado with my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and have extensive experience treating runners of all abilities in my clinic, Red hammer Rehab, alongside Heather North.
I started running cross country as a senior in high school to meet the requirements for my soccer team. I
invested more heavily in running while in grad school, when I had my first stint working with Revolution Running (then the Bolder Boulder Training Club). I coached for 2 Bolder Boulder 10K’s, always making sure to demonstrate how to hit the slip n’ slide while keeping the target race time. ;) Running is all about
having fun for me, and you will see that in my coaching style. Don’t worry, goals are also important to me too! After moving to Florida in 2008, I quickly began connecting with local running groups and started coaching, while also pursuing my own running goals. I personally enjoy 10K and half marathon distances. That said, I have coached everyone from Couch to 5k runners, who just want to cover 3.1 miles for the first time in their lives, to a podium finisher at the Keys 50. I am a people person who just loves to make new acquaintances and educate and empower others to reach whatever the next step is in their life journey. Perhaps my favorite thing about being part of the running community is this: more than any other community that I have ever been a part of, I believe we runners, no matter how experienced, just enjoy seeing a new person get out and get moving, and we are always happy to join them. So whether you want that 26.2 PR or you have no idea what I just referred to, I can’t wait to work with you to see what you achieve next! ​

Kelly Luck

Kelly started running at the age of 18 after swimming competitively for years and participated in a variety of other sports.  She threw herself completely into running and never looked back. Unfortunately Kelly did not listen to my body and did not ease into running as she should have and ended up injured within a couple months of starting to run.  After barely being able to run for almost a year and a half she was able to slowly get back into running. 

 After being unable to run her freshman year in college because of my injury Kelly ran cross-country and track for the University of Redlands.  After graduating college she decided to focus on longer races like the half marathon and marathon.  Kelly loves coaching others and helping others find joy and success in running.  She has done some coaching for the Boulder Striders when in college and was able to coach high school cross country at Horizon High School last year.  

 Currently Kelly is in graduate school at the University of Colorado, Denver for counseling psychology and also works at the Boulder Running Company.

Maggie Callaghan

Maggie grew up in Fairbanks, AK, where she was a mulit-time state champion on the track. She  attended the University of Arizona (to make up for her lack of sun in her childhood), to run track and cross country. The highlight of her college career was being the 2011 Pac 10 Steeplechase Champion. She moved to Boulder last spring to continue training and competing professionally, with the team Hudson Training Systems, coached by Brad Hudson. One of the best happiest moments of her running career was winning her weight in beer at the July 4th 4k at Avery's Brewing company.

3000m Steeplechase: 10:07

Jayson Swigart

Running has been a large part of my life since I was 14 when I laced up racing shoes for the first time, undertrained an overconfident I led a XC race for 2.99 miles only to be out kicked in the last 5 meters. From that day forward I swore I would never be undertrained again. 
After running collegiately I taught math and coached Cross Country and Track for 3 years from 2003-2005 at Canyon Springs High School in California. In 2006 I moved to Boulder CO to give it one more go at running, I joined the Boulder Distance Project under Steve Jones’ tutelage, and ran PR’s in all road/trail distances. I have coached for Revolution Running since 2007.

Steven Dunbar

Steve raced bicycles at CU-Boulder in the late 80's and continued amateur racing into the mid-90's. After a hiatus to have two kids, Steve started running regularly in 2002 and has been ever since.  In 2009 he began competing in triathlon, and with great coaching and all the resources Boulder has to offer, he qualified for the ITU Age Group World Championships in 2012 (Auckland).  With new lifetime PRs in all three sports in 2014, he will be representing the USA again in 2015 at ITU World Championships, held in Chicago. Steve's philosophy is to keep training consistent yet dynamic, continuously trying new things and ideas seeking those "secret weapons" that make a break through happen, and taking a long term view by using the seasons to ones advantage. 

Professionally, Steve is an Electrical Engineer working for Texas Instruments, and is also pursuing a PhD in Electromagnetics at CU-Boulder.

Todd Straka

Todd didn't run competitively in high school or college but took up running in his 20's wanting to hit the high notes as a rock n roll front man. He participated in local races after moving to Boulder in the 90s, but didn't hit his stride and find his legs until reaching the age of 40. Since then he has been competitive on the national level as a master's runner. And while enjoying running on trails, roads and for the zen of it, he has focused the last few years on running a fast mile for his age group.

He has previously coached with the BolderBoulder, Fast Forward and Revolution Running training groups and has been a part of the Fleet Feet Running, Runners Roost Runing, RISE Athletics, running teams and is also a member of the Boulder Road Runners and Boulder Track Club.

Todd is the race director of the springtime Dash & Dine 5k series and the Mile High Mile and enjoys supporting our run community through event promotion, storytelling and photography.
