Samuel Stow is a multidisciplinary engineer-turned-founder who blends 11+ years of mobile and backend software experience with 12+ years in health and fitness to build smarter coaching products and services. As founder of Pop! Running he applies a unique "Functional Step" method, breathwork and biomechanics to help runners run farther, pain-free, and with greater mental resilience, while shipping digital coaching through apps and courses. His engineering background includes leadership roles at PEAR Health Labs (AI & data engineering) and Google AdMob, where he led cross-platform mobile tooling, scalable backend systems, and developer-facing products. He’s equally comfortable architecting data pipelines and building iOS/Android features, and he leverages that full-stack fluency to create evidence-driven, real-time coaching experiences. An aerospace engineering graduate with a Master Functional Trainer credential, Samuel brings rare technical rigor to human performance problems—turning endurance racing experience into reproducible, productized training systems.
