PHILOSOPHY
Training should be enjoyable and fit your life. Your training schedule should push you, but not cause burnout or injury. I use a Block Periodization strategy to build base fitness first, then tailor the training for your particular race. My main goal is to help others enjoy and succeed in the sport that I love!
COACHING EXPERIENCE
Recently certified in Ultra Running Coaching through UESCA, but I have coached multiple runners for distances from 5k to 100k including multiple PR’s.
ABOUT ME
I’m based in Asheboro, North Carolina. I have been running since 2014, starting with road 5k’s and moving on to Half Marathons. In 2019 I started running trail races and I was hooked. I started researching Ultras and eventually signed up for my first 50k and have been running Ultras ever since. Aside from running, I also enjoy hiking and backpacking (Appalachian Trail C/O 2000!) and playing guitar/bass. I look forward to helping you on your journey into the Ultra Community!
BIG INFLUENCES
My friends that I run with, my girlfriend.
