PHILOSOPHY
My coaching decision revolve around three main points: enjoyment, consistency, specificity.
- Enjoyment: You are voluntarily training several hours or more each week. This should be fun! If you are not enjoying your running and the process of training, you are doing something wrong.
- Consistency: this is a runner’s most effective tool to improvement. Making sure that you are able to train consistently will be a focus with my coaching. I will make sure that you have a sustainable training load to train consistently and improve.
- Specificity: trail races vary significantly. From steep hills to gentle grades and technical trails to wide, smooth singletrack, there are many different conditions you will face at a race. I will build your training to get you ready for whatever is ahead at your next event.
COACHING EXPERIENCE
- Online coaching since 2022
ABOUT ME
Being outside on the trails has always been a big part of my life. I grew up hiking every weekend with my parents and brother in the Oregon Cascades and Coast Range. I started running trail ultras in high school and ran my first two with my Mom. Today I do 3-4 backpacking trips per year, run, mountain bike, and organize a weekly trailwork group which works on the trails around Corvallis, Oregon.
BIG INFLUENCES
My Mom – I started running with my Mom and learned a lot from her experience. The biggest takeaway, “have fun.”
Tim Noakes – The Lore of Running was my first introduction to the science behind running performance. Understanding why training works is just as important and knowing what works because when you understand why, you can make adjustments to make your training more impactful.
RACING HISTORY
I ran my first race at the 2009 McDonald Forest 15K. I did my first ultra in 2010 and have been running trail ultras since then.
