Who is Runners University?

Mike Scott PT, DPT

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Run and Strength coach as well as Boston Qualifier multiple times over. I focus on getting athletes to meet their performance goals by matching your current abilities with data driven programming. My passon for the sport blossomed once I trained for my first marathon in 2020, and has only grown since.
