Jason Karp, PhD, MBA; USATF Level III Instructor; Distance Specialist & Exercise Physiologist

A competitive runner since sixth grade, Dr. Jason Karp quickly learned how running molds us into better, more deeply conscious people, just as the miles and interval workouts mold us into faster, more enduring runners. This passion Jason found as a kid placed him on a path he still follows as a coach, exercise physiologist, entrepreneur, and author of 15 books and 400 articles. His TED talk, How Running Like an Animal Makes Us Human, has inspired people around the world. He is the 2011 IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year and two-time recipient of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition Community Leadership award. His run coaching certification was obtained by coaches and fitness professionals in 26 countries before being acquired by International Sports Sciences Association. In 2021, he became the first American distance running coach to live and coach in Kenya, and he has served as a sports science and coach consultant to the Chinese Athletics Association.
