What runners say about In Flight Running
“Coach Michael along with his team of coaches and crew of runners have been beyond welcoming.”
“The people are genuinely kind, supportive, and encouraging no matter your pace or experience level.”
“He is always approachable and genuinely interested in your goals and progress, which makes a meaningful difference in staying motivated and consistent.”
“Coach Michael Merlino is willing to work with you directly, and answer all of your nitty gritty questions about form, shoes, race plan, training plan, nutrition plan, etc.”
“Merlino has nailed the concept of lowering the difficulty threshold for all runners by establishing a socially balanced coaching program that only asks that you show up.”
From the reviews
“I enjoy running by myself and do not want to run in a group.” – This is what I would tell myself. After two half marathons and one full marathon, I was looking for options to improve (e.g., be quicker, continuously improve my run, and enhance my form). I found In-Flight Running.
I joined In Flight February of 2025. I had opportunities to join other run groups, but something about this one is special. Coach Michael along with his team of coaches and crew of runners have been beyond welcoming. It does not matter your pace or endurance, everyone is supportive.
I have been through a few running clubs in the past, and nothing beats Inflight. Michael truly cares about his athletes and inspires them to succeed beyond their own potential. I have been with Inflight since 2020, and it is the best experience.
Running with Michael and the In Flight team has been a game changer for my race training and general fitness. Highly recommend to anyone who is thinking about signing up!
