SSRT Summer/Fall 2025

studio s Running Team (SSRT) 2025 season is here! For over a decade we’ve coached half and full marathoners to success on race day and we can’t wait to continue that tradition this summer.  

Run with us as we conquer Cincinnati’s hills, educate on effective/ sustainable training practices and toast with coffee post-long runs. Training is available for both the half and full marathon distances. Our target races will be The Queen Bee Half and Columbus Marathon but our coaching calendar can be adapted for any late fall 26.2 or 13.1 race. 

Though running is often thought of as an individual sport, we’ll help you feel part of a team and provide coaching that will take you levels deeper with the sport. Whether you are a seasoned marathoner or first-time runner, you are welcome on our team.

We pride ourselves on a small atmosphere that allows runners continual personal contact with SSRT coaches and contributes to a unique team camaraderie. Stride along with us for a fun, challenging and memorable season.

What’s unique about this group?

On any given Saturday morning in Cincinnati, we love to see so many runners out training. However, if a giant mass of pace groups isn’t for you, you’ve found your team. We pride ourselves on a more intimate team size that ensures contact/ feedback from your coaches.  

We also pride ourselves on our unique coaching philosophy by taking physiological cues from your own body to track and improve your miles/pace--instead of assigning a random pace time that may or may not be sustainable for a whole season. We use heart rate (in addition to time splits, pace targets, mileage goals) to measure improvement. We want our runners to see progress in a single season but also year over year. This takes the guesswork out of the process and lets your body lead the way. Our methods will also help keep you injury-free. 

SSRT is coached and was created by trainers in the fitness field. This isn’t our side business, method to selling more shoes, or our hobby--this is our profession. We work every day in the studio to help individuals build strength, become better movers, stay injury-free and recover from setbacks. We know running isn’t just about logging the miles but, also, about everything you do in between.
