Brian Quillin

Brian is a horizon chaser who incorporates over a decade of outdoor experience into his coaching. His athletic background includes racing ultras, long-distance cycling, triathlon, strength training, and multiday backcountry adventures—not because he was chasing podiums, but because movement is freedom. Through those experiences, he has developed a durability-first mindset, both mentally and physically. His goal is to build athletes who can show up strong to the finish line, year after year—and who genuinely enjoy the journey that gets them there.

Brian believes the best training plan is one you actually want to do. He coaches athletes toward sustainable performance through durability, curiosity, and a deep respect for what the body can accomplish—building the fitness, strength, and confidence to meet ambitious goals without losing sight of why we run in the first place.

As a Maryland native, he has spent years wandering the Piedmont and Appalachians, developing a deep appreciation for their unique character. He loves weaving natural and human history into his adventures, telling the story of how the landscape around us came to be.

He lives in Highland with his wife, adventurous five-year-old daughter, and three cats who decidedly do not enjoy endurance sport.
