About MCC
Marathon Coaching Consultants (MCC) is a newly formed business in the Phoenix community, founded and run by David Allison. The idea behind MCC is “human kindness through running”. What this means is that MCC wishes to promote running across the Valley of the Sun in a manner that is physically, emotionally, and spiritually fulfilling to every athlete we coach. Our focus group of runners are those who may have just started the sport of running the past few years and wish to improve their times, body image, running form, and/or endurance. With 30 years of both competitive and coaching experience, we are able to assist any athlete from novice to elite reach his/her running potential.

Why Run With MCC?
Although Coach Allison is a serious and competitive runner himself still, he is not the type of person who takes the sport too seriously. Other than his wife and son, nothing gives Coach Allison more joy than running. He wants other individuals to learn the beauty and benefits of distance running, and slowly integrate the running lifestyle into their daily routine.
We give back to the community.
We at MCC are affiliated with the YMCA, Team in Training, March of Dimes, and are looking to develop other relationships with non-profit organizations to help them raise money for their foundations through the vehicle of running.
We have fun
We have happy hours, dinners, social functions, fundraisers, raffles, and awards. We give you more than training advice at MCC. We use running coaching as a mere catalyst to inject kindness, sincerity, and humor into your daily lives through various communal events.
All We Do Is Run

There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with the aforementioned athletic disciplines. And this is not to say that we never take classes or have certifications in other athletic areas, cross-train, lift weights,cycle, swim, or like to enjoy the great outdoors on our down time. And although we may dabble in other endurance genres, we here at MCC are runners at our core.
We do one thing here at Marathon Coaching Consultants, and one thing really well - that's coaching people to run to the best of their abilities and have a blast doing it!
We here at MCC have relationships with wellness centers, chiropractors, doctors, personal trainers, physical therapists, and dieticians in many parts of the Valley to assist you reach your full potential.
