Duane Scotti

Spark Healthy Runner is an online running coaching and education brand founded by Dr. Duane Scotti, a physical therapist and running coach with more than 20 years of experience in rehabilitation and the running community. Its mission is to help runners build strength, improve performance, and enjoy lifelong healthy running, including when they are managing pain or injury. The brand combines individualized training with runner-specific strength work, evidence-based rehabilitation, recovery guidance, and education, emphasizing that injury does not always require stopping running.

Services include personalized one-to-one coaching with tailored running, strength, and nutrition plans, regular feedback, and support from a team that includes certified run coaches, a physical therapist, a registered dietitian, personal trainers, and fitness instructors. Spark Healthy Runner also offers group half-marathon coaching, a Healthy Runner Academy membership, and a strength program for runners. Its resources include weekly educational videos, the Healthy Runner Podcast, and a blog. Runners can arrange a free 30-minute phone consultation or inquire about program availability and cost.
