Welcome to Feat and Soul - a site dedicated to the love of distance running. Stephen Jayaraj- founder of FAS- is a huge fan of the sport and he offers his insights and experiences throughout the site.

Jayaraj also launched this site to promote his coaching services in the Metro Atlanta area. Since 2001, Jayaraj has had great success coaching student-athletes in the area. He has coached County, Region and State Champions on the high school level in addition to coaching one of his athletes to a middle school county championship. He also has worked with post-collegiates very successfully and one day has a dream of coaching a fully funded post-collegiate group when his own racing career is over.

Coach Jayaraj also launched this site to help runners gain more information about the sport of distance running. He often heard from fellow friends and runners how many of the top runners in the country seem guarded about what they are doing training wise on a day to day basis. Jayaraj feels that openness and honesty will create a culture for growth.
