Dr. Ben Gall completed a 21 year college coaching career at the end of the 2021-22 academic year and is excited to focus more of his energy on coaching athletes pursuing their personal goals while balancing all of the responsibilities of life.

A runner for over 30 years himself as well as a husband and father of three boys he understands the challenge of balancing training with everything else. From the age of 30 until 38 he did not race, but as 40 approached the idea of racing again started to resurface. He has completed a total of 13 marathons, most recently the 2022 Chicago Marathon (2:38:48) and the 2023 Boston Marathon (2:37:28).

He and his wife Rachel live in Boise, ID. where they like to spend time outside with their three very active boys, visit local cultural events and restaurants, as well as spend time with family.
