Coaching for Athletes of Any Age

Opting for ultras right out of high school, and doing so without guidance, I've made almost every mistake in the book. I have reached out to some of the best in the game and been fortunate enough to make friends with some of the fastest runners in the nation, as well as experts such as Jeff Volek and Peter Defty that have seen it all. 
Along with 6 years of personal detailed running logs, the expert input has helped turn me from a mediocre mid distance runner into a competitive ultra runner. My system, not raw talent, has got me where I am: my first 50k took me over 6 hours!

I have repeatedly proven my ability to create happy, healthy, and fast young runners, and I'd like to prove that my system works at any age or level of competition.

The tenants of my program are:

-True aerobic base-building

-Optimizing fat metabolism (OFM)

-Holistic nutrition, with strategic supplements only when necessary

-Natural racing strategies, with key workouts to develop race pace

-Sauna training for optimal performance in any race conditions, hot or cold

-Meticulously selected strength exercises, that target proper activation for running first and raw strength second
-Mastering all "the little things" that prevent injuries: self message, rotating shoes, good sleep, etc.

While I continue my formal education, I'll be offering online coaching (program design and nutritional counseling) for $65/month. Until I finish my degree (in Exercise Science), my number one priority is simply to build my portfolio of success -your success.

Your $65/month includes:
-Monthly workout schedule, including all your weekly runs mapped out
-Dietary advice that I've used to blow a .62 respiratory quotient without starving myself, a rate of fat metabolism that is literally off the charts

-Unlimited emails/texts
-Injury "insurance": if you get injured and miss training while following my program I'll refund you for the training that injured you

If you're looking to get faster at any distance from 400 meters to 100km, drop me a line for more information. Or if you're a youth runner and can't join us here in Golden, CO, this would be the perfect alternative for your off-season needs.
