Levi Button, In His Own Words

For the past 3 years, I have worked as a personal coach for athletes at a corrective exercise facility. We work on training functional movement patterns while trying to fix form. My athletes are runners, triathletes, and individuals just beginning their fitness journey! I work with them on running technique, breathing patterns, and strengthening exercises to improve their running form! As a physical therapy student, I know training techniques and injury prevention methods for both athletes and those looking to sign up for their first race!

I did all types of sports growing up in Minnesota. I played soccer, ran track, and cross-country skied in high school. However, most of my major achievements have come from outside the educational system. I ran my first 50-mile race, Fans, at the age of thirteen. I proceeded to run another 50 miler, Voyageur, at fifteen.

Since then, I have run seven marathons, skied the American Birkebeiner, skied the Swedish Vasaloppet, run the R2R2R, finished 5th at the 2026 Adrenaline Night Run 50km, and finished my first hundred-miler in 2024 at the Mogollon Monster! I am currently training to run the TDS UTMB race 155km in August 2026 and the Superior 100 mile in September 2026!
