Philosophy
“Success through a lack of failure”
My approach to coaching is all about setting you up for success by eliminating avoidable setbacks. I focus on identifying your strengths and weaknesses, then crafting a personalized training plan that prepares you for the challenges you'll face on race day. Every athlete is different, and understanding the variables that impact performance is key to making race day feel like a well-executed plan rather than an unpredictable battle.
To help you reach your goals, I integrate a variety of proven tools:
Smart Mileage Buildup - to ensure steady progress without burnout
Customized High-Mileage/Low-Mileage Training - based on individual needs
Peak Fitness Tuning - for race readiness
Injury Prevention & Rehabilitation - to keep you strong and healthy
Race Nutrition Strategy - to optimize energy and endurance
Dialed-in Race Strategy - to help you execute your plan with confidence
Method
I tailor every plan to fit your goals, schedule, and current fitness level—making sure training is effective, sustainable, and gets you race-ready. Here’s how it works:
Set the Goal – Whether it’s your first ultra or a 200 miler, we define your race or training goal.
Balance Training & Life – Your plan has to fit your life, not take it over. I work around your schedule.
Find Your Starting Point – We figure out your current mileage and fitness so training builds safely.
Map the Big Picture – A long-term strategy keeps training structured and progressive.
Break it into Blocks – Focused phases ensure smart mileage buildup, peak performance, and recovery.
