About Me

My name is John Hopple and welcome to TheRunnersguide.com. I have been running for over 20 years. I ran track and cross country in high school and then went on to be a four time All-American while attending Malone College. After college I competed as a post-collegiate athlete and coached at the high school and college level. I have been very fortunate to be coached and associated with many top coaches in the country. Which includes my college coach Jack Hazen and Joe Vigil who coached 2 Olympic medalists in the 2004 Olympic Games. I have run a 4:09 mile, 29:35 10k and a 2:42 marathon. Currently I am being coached by Matt Woods and training for the masters ranks. I am married and have 2 children who enjoy going to races. I will be sharing marathon training tips to help you with your next marathon.

    Hi John

    I would like to know if the 2.42 marathon you made it as a master or younger and if you righ now run for fun or competitive.
    Do you still have goal to achieve?
    Have you ever run the LA marathon ?
    Thanks for your time answering all my questions.

    Hi Rafael,
    I ran that a few years go. I want to do well in December at the US Cross Country Championships as a masters runner. I have never ran the LA Marathon.
