Philosophy

I believe a good training plan has to be tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle. Every athlete is unique and will respond differently to the same workout, mileage, or training stimulus. Finding the approach that works best for you relies on frequent and honest communication, and as more feedback received in both directions we can put the ideal structure for your goals into action.

Coaching Experience

I have spent 5+ years coaching track & field and cross country at the high school level. Finding a good coach early on in my ultrarunning journey, really helped me to progress and gain valuable knowledge that I continue to use today. Training and running different types of races, terrain, and distances has allowed me to gain experience and my hope is to share some tips and strategies I have found to be personally useful.

About Me

I grew up playing sports and being constantly active and outside. Even though I was not a competitive runner, I always enjoyed running and would go out on my own with no plan. Getting into trail running was huge for me and I jumped into my first ultra in 2022 and was able to finish the 50 miles and have been hooked ever since. I find a lot of joy being outside and doing hard things as much as possible. Running in different places is one of the coolest things about the sport, and exploring unique and interesting landscapes is what continues drive me to find new challenges.

Big Influences

I find inspiration from many other runners, whether they are professional or amatuer. A few of my favorite athletes to follow are Kilian Jornet, Courtney Dauwalter, and Rachel Entrekin. I think each of them really exemplify what makes the sport great and I find their approach and positivity to be very motivating. Coaching cross country was a huge factor for me and springboard into becoming more serious about running. Seeing young athletes push themselves and progress year over year was such an incredible experience be a part of and often inspired me to push myself further.
