About Coach Bill

Welcome to sunbear RUNNING — a simple, practical place for busy people who want to run consistently, feel better, and keep their bodies durable for the long game.

If you’re juggling work, family, and life… and still want to train with purpose, you’re in the right spot.

Quick version

• I’m Coach Bill — runner, coach, and builder.
• I help busy runners stay consistent, avoid injuries, and get fitter without overcomplicating things.
• My style: simple plans, honest expectations, steady progress.
• My bias: durability > hero workouts.

My story (the human version)

I’m both the founder of sunbear RUNNING and a fellow traveler on the corporate highwire. I’ve lived the “train when you can” reality — early mornings, lunch break runs, and squeezing workouts between meetings and family life.

Years ago, I entered a fast-paced executive track in the insurance world. The pressure was real, the hours were long, and life got full in a hurry. During that stretch I also became a father — and like a lot of people, I felt the slow drift: less energy, more stress, and the sense that my body was getting less resilient.

Running became my anchor: not because it was easy, but because it was simple. Lace up. Show up. Repeat. Over time it turned into something bigger — a way to build confidence, steadiness, and momentum in the rest of life.

What sunbear RUNNING stands for

I’m not here to sell magic workouts or “secrets.” I’m here to make running feel doable and sustainable — especially for people with real schedules.

Core principles

• Consistency beats intensity (most weeks).
• Durability is trained — gradually, not “hacked.”
• Simple wins: easy miles, smart workouts, and recovery that actually happens.
• Progress without punishment: you shouldn’t feel broken to feel accomplished.

Who this site is for

• Runners who are busy and want a clean, no-drama approach.
• People returning from a layoff who want to build back safely.
• Runners who keep getting little aches and want to stay durable.
• Anyone who wants running to improve their life, not take it over.

What you’ll find here

• Articles on practical training, running gear, and mindset.
• Simple frameworks for staying consistent (even on chaotic weeks).
• Ideas you can apply today — not theory you’ll never use.

Note: I’m intentionally keeping this site lightweight and focused. I’d rather publish a few genuinely useful pieces than flood the internet with filler.

Credentials (and the fine print)

I’m a coach and a lifelong student of performance and durability — but this site is not medical advice. If you’re dealing with pain, injuries, or health conditions, talk to a qualified medical professional.
