STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF
“THE HOMESTRETCH, RUNNING UNTIL I CAN BUY MY FAMILY A HOME.”
The Homestretch is a movement dedicated to turning discipline, endurance, and belief into generational change, one mile at a time.
What started as a personal journey has grown into a movement built on belief, resilience, and proving that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things when they STOP doubting themselves. Every purchase, coaching session, and show of support directly contributes to the down payment for my family’s future home while helping build a larger vision centered around endurance, opportunity, and inspiring others to chase goals bigger than themselves.

ClIENT REVIEWS
“Since 2024 I’ve witnessed Dorrian achieve amazing benchmarks in his running journey. As a fairly new runner, I wanted to level up my knowledge and capabilities in the sport with a coach of his caliber. Teaming up with Dorrian for coaching has led to some incredible leaps in my progression, not just in speed, but also in reshaping my confidence of what I could accomplish in such a short period.”
“Stop Doubting Yourself” isn’t just a motto he echoes; it’s a standard set in the training plan he designs for your goals. Through conversations, I began to realize that what’s first formed in the mind, later shift to PR badges on Strava. It’s not about the accolades, however it just goes to show the proof in the concept when you SDY.
Having Dorrian physically and virtually present has been a game changer. Since connecting I’ve PR’s in my 1 mile attempt (twice) going from 6:00 to 4:59, 5K (24:00 to sub 19:00) and soon (confidently) my next half marathon attempt. Happy to share many successes with his support.”
Collin Elliott“Justin Solomon was the first athlete I ever coached and the reason I started taking coaching seriously. Together, we transformed his 5K from the mid-20s to 18:10 and his mile from 6:30 to a 5:02 PR. His grit, determination, and competitive spirit remind me why I love this sport. Justin has the heart of a runner, and if you're beside him in the homestretch, good luck. Thank you for believing in the process, and in yourself Justin!”

“Dorrian is an incredible coach, mentor, and friend. I had heard great things about him since high school, and he has lived up to every one of them. He takes a personal approach to coaching, building real relationships with his athletes and tailoring training to help them succeed.
Since working with Dorrian, my 5K has improved from 17:47 to 16:57, and my mile has dropped from 4:42 to 4:38, all without any mile specific speed work. Those gains came through his aerobic base-building program alone. My VO₂ max has also increased from 61 to 63. I’m excited to keep building on this progress and see what’s next.”
