CHRISTOPHER GUERRA
Founder // Coach
“In 2014, I set out to establish a running approach that built a foundation to educate and inspire athletes in the art of running. I found that running doesn’t have to be painful and paralleled with injury. When we shift the focus of running as a means of meditation through movement, we grow as an individual and as a community. Since 2014 founding FGA, we’ve had athletes of all types meet goals that were originally presumed out of reach. With Patience, Presence, and Positivity, you, too, can accomplish the unimaginable.
“See You Out There!”
Bio.
Chris Guerra (CEO and founder) of Forged Glory Athletics has run worldwide and competed in some of the most prestigious races in the US, such as the Zion 100 and the Bigfoot 200. His approach to running is simple: Volume equates to Intensity, but Intensity doesn't equate to Volume. This has undoubtedly pushed his athletes to accomplish goals far exceeding their dreamt expectations and has spread like wildfire amongst the Ultrarunning community. In his research, he's unlocked the perfect recipe to increase endurance and strength without risk of injury, with an aggressive look into each runner's intrinsic and extrinsic strengths. He believes that understanding your internal whys and why not's forges the perfect athlete.

Coach Chris Guerra has taught me that running can be a lifelong sport that's enjoyable and exciting! His passion for coaching and sharing his running knowledge is above and beyond. The 50K training plan that he prescribed for me put me on a successful path to my first ultramarathon journey! I followed it completely and was so impressed with the combination of running strategies, strength exercises, yoga, and the amount of time on my feet. All of these modalities allowed me to successfully run 31.1 miles injury-free and feeling great!!! His motto of Patience - Presence - Positivity really helped to remind me that running is meant to help me grow as a person and athlete beyond one race. Highly recommend the forged process with Chris!
