Our Mission
FEAR’s coaching philosophy coincides with our core values. I truly believe that any body and anybody can be a runner and I am here to fully support that. I take a personal approach for each athlete I coach and formulate individual plans for everyone. No runner is the same, and as life long runner, I understand that. FEAR’s coaching plans take a science-based approach, combined with personal running experiences. Coaching is far more than planning to run a race. It is a partnership between coach and athlete, that includes balance and communication to be successful. I will provide feedback before and after runs and I want to hear from you throughout the coaching process as well. The more you share with me, the better I can build for your success.
Running has transformed my life for the better and I want to share a piece of that experience with everyone. My intentions are to help runners achieve their goals in a safe, healthy, fun, and meaningful way. I want to create a sense of community and acceptance of all people no matter where they are in their running and life journeys. I believe our bodies are capable of extraordinary things, and I are here to challenge you, so you can accomplish a goal you may have only dreamed of. I know that if you choose FEAR Coaching, you have already committed to becoming the best version of yourself. If you would like to know more information about our services and want to make sure we are a good fit for you, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at jason@runwithfear.com or the Contact Us form.

Group Runs
Got the Monday blues? Come out to the free FEAR Run Club hosted every Monday at 7PM. We meet at the Pompton Valley Rail Trail located at 38 Jackson Ave. Pompton Plains, NJ 07444. Enjoy an out-and-back run of 2, 4, 6, or 8 miles (we run 6 but accommodate all distances) on a closed to traffic rail trail.
This is a no-drop run so no one will be left behind. We typically run as one group, around a 10 minute per mile, but we will split off to accommodate for those that want to run faster or slower. If you want to turn back sooner, you’re more than welcome to. Show up alone or bring a friend and become part of the community!
Trail Fest 5 Miler
Trail Fest is a 5 mile lollipop loop trail race in Lewis Morris Park in Morristown, NJ. It’s a runnable course with a mix of rocks, roots, and some good climbs totaling around 600 feet of elevation gain. The course starts with a wide section on the Patriots Path before moving to single track for the full Yellow Trail loop before traversing the short section of the Patriots Path again back to the finish.
The course is meant to attract runners looking to tackle their first trail race, or an experienced veteran on the trails looking to have a fun and fast race!
Additionally, we will host course previews (check Instagram for details) on the actual course so no one needs to go into the race blindly. These course previews are free, educational, and informative.

Coach Jason
I began my running journey in 2001, joining my high school cross country team so I could hang out with my friends and avoid doing homework.
I started coaching in 2013, initially to help my sister run her first half marathon. I never looked back and have been coaching runners since that time. I have coached runners ranging from beginners with no running experience, up to 100 mile trail ultra runners.
My passion in running now lies with helping others achieve their goals and unlock confidence they’ve never experienced before.
I’m here to help you do hard shit. If you are interested to know more, see the coaching services I can provide for you.
