Meet Your Coach

I’m Jackson Campbell — performance coach, Masters athlete, and the founder of Zone Four. I help runners train with purpose, push past their comfort zones, and achieve their goals. Whether you just want help getting out the door for the first time or are aiming to qualify for the Boston Marathon, I’m here to help.

Personalized Coaching

No templates. No guesswork.

Every runner I coach gets a plan tailored to their current fitness, life schedule, and long-term goals.

Communication

Training is a conversation, not a transaction.

We’ll communicate regularly to adapt your training, address challenges, and stay aligned with your goals. You’re never handed a plan and left on your own. We value building trust and relationships, not simply telling you what to do.

The Reviews Are In…

“Coach Jackson demonstrates excellent attention to detail and provides comprehensive session-by-session documentation, including specific performance metrics and clear homework assignments. The training approach is well-structured, starting with fundamental fitness building before event specialization, and includes measurable benchmarks (like the 30m sprint at 3.85s and 200m at 38s) to track progress. He shows genuine care for the athlete's development by adapting workouts when needed (such as during illness).”

“My son had a great session. It was his first introduction to track as a high school student. He left smiling, feeling challenged, but also proud of what he learned.
