Tony brings the optimism and energy required for lofty goals and backs it up with technical expertise from years of coaching. While working with Tony, I set PRs in every distance from the 5k to the marathon: it’s hard to argue with those results. We worked our a***s off, and it paid off. No matter what your goals are, Tony will develop a plan that works for YOU. Instead of “one-size-fits-all”, Tony takes care to explain the purpose of each workout, and if something is not working, he’ll find a way to get you to where you need to be. He embodies what a coaching relationship should be: a partnership working together to achieve a common dream. If you’re looking for a coach that’ll give you the tools you need top be a better runner, look no further.

I first started working with coach Tony Scott during the summer of 2016 in preparation for my goal race that fall, the California International Marathon. Tony built a great training plan for me and instilled the mental resilience and physical toughness for me to get my marathon career back on track. I was able to record my second fastest marathon and fastest marathon in 3 1/2 years clocking 2:31:20 and winning the 2016 California International Marathon!

Tony Scott is the best running coach you’ll find. His keen ability to shape a personal running program is at the highest level. I was able to slice over 13 minutes off my previous best half marathon time following Tony’s customized training plan. The training was hard but I stuck with it and all the hard work paid off! If you want to run stronger, better and faster, and feel great he’s the coach you need.

I registered for the CIM with the goal of qualifying for my first Boston Marathon. I was introduced to coach Tony, who was honest, motivating, and ultimately the best support system to help me achieve my goals. My 12 hour shifts at work and a busy family life needed some good planning for me to achieve my goals, which Tony delivered on. His coaching approach, training tips and insights helped me clock a 39 minute PR en route to breaking 4 hours and BQing, both firsts for me! With coach Tony’s belief in me and my progress, I earned more than just a ticket to Boston, but the confidence that I can achieve anything as well.

In January, 2016 I approached Tony Scott with the idea of running a half marathon that spring. Up until then I had no prior experience with endurance sports. Tony’s passion for the sport was contagious and sparked a whole new lifestyle for me. Before starting on a training plan, Tony had me run a local 5k race, which I clocked 23:23. Under Tony’s training I have lowered my 5k PB to 17:30! MCTC dedicate an unbelievable amount of time to getting the best out of all their athletes. The training philosophy pushes you to your full potential while staying healthy and injury free.
