Progressive Running is a Tampa FL based running club that strives to improve runners of all levels and abilities. Our club members are runners from recreational runners to competitive runners and many triathletes seeking to improve the running portion of their game.

Our coaches provide structured workouts designed to meet your specific needs and running level, while at the same time providing a positive coaching experience.

We practice at the beautiful University of Tampa track, with it’s “state of the art” artificial track surface. Click on the Practice link for practice times and directions/address.

We also offer training in Clearwater with Coach Steve Mikles on Wednesday nights at Clearwater High School.

See you at the track!
