About this gig

Eduardo (Eddie) Garcia was born in Jacksonville, FL and began running at the age of 13. Eddie earned a scholarship to run for the University of Florida's Cross Country and Track and Field teams. During his time there, he would become the 2015 SEC 10,000 meter champion and still ranked in the top 10 in school history in the indoor 5,000 meters. After graduation, Eddie moved to Greenville, SC in 2018 to join a post-collegiate Olympic Development Group called Greenville-Track Club ELITE. In 2024, Eddie achieved his childhood dream of becoming an Olympian and representing the United States Virgin Islands in the Paris Olympics in the Men's Marathon event.


My goal is to develop runner's of all abilities, whether it is for someone's first 5k or a seasoned marathon athlete, I will create a detailed road map to guide an individual to success. My approach is to cover areas that often get overlooked such as proper footwear, recovery, racing strategy, and nutrition in addition to having training plan's that are specific to individual needs.
