Athlete Testimonials
“I trained with Elite Running Foundation from September 2018 to June 2021, and I continue to stay close to the foundation even as I've transitioned into college. When I first started, I felt overwhelmed. I struggled to complete my workouts and questioned whether I should be in the sport. Eliud recognized this and would stay after practice talking to me every time, motivating me to keep going. His unwavering support and guidance instilled a drive for success within me, and over the next few years, the results showed.”

“My time at Elite Running Foundation has been beyond amazing! I came into the foundation running an 18:39 5K and was able to drop it to 17:44. The foundation also helped me to sign with a Division I school for running. The foundation taught me how to care for my body, including fueling and recovering properly. Coach Eluid believes in every athlete he coaches. He helps his athletes build confidence in their racing and trusting their training. I am beyond thankful for Elite Running Foundation because it is also a place where I found amazing friends to run with and push each other at practice to better ourselves. I will always be grateful for my years running with Coach Eluid and the Elite Running Foundation.”

“Training with Coach changed my life. I was often injured and missed athletic scholarships, but he showed me how to find joy through hard times. Training with Elite Running Foundation helped me grow through high school, and the discipline I learned contributed to earning a large financial aid package at Vanderbilt University.
Eliud’s training didn’t guarantee my outcome, and it can’t guarantee anyone’s, but it made me a strong person who could overcome hard things. That is invaluable to me, and I am grateful. We’re still friends over 10 years later.”
