PHILOSOPHY
The best way to get better at running is through consistent, healthy mileage with well-timed, race-specific interval work.
Running healthy means avoiding injury, sickness, and fatigue by staying on top of recovery so that running can feel good! This means balancing training with proper sleep, nutrition, and strength and mobility work.
Workouts and mileage should be tailored to the individual for the race they are training for. Everyone is different and has different strengths and needs. Different races require different kinds of preparation for the best results.
Train to race! Workouts are given to help an athlete race faster on the big day, not just to hit a quota. Sometimes more rest is needed, and sometimes it’s appropriate to increase the training load. Communication between the athlete and coach is key to developing and modifying the training plan. The athlete and coach both need to be flexible.
COACHING EXPERIENCE
I have been coaching with Team RunRun since January 2024. I have helped several athletes hit new PRs. Looking forward to many more!
ABOUT ME
I am a 26 year old native Utahn. I am currently going to school at Utah State University, pursuing a masters degree in civil engineering. I began getting into track and field in junior high school and discovered that I enjoyed distance running. I liked track, but after competing in my first cross-country meet, I was hooked. I have been training ever since then and have learned a lot and grown a lot along the way.
Aside from running, I enjoy the outdoors and love to camp, hike, and just be outside! Naturally, trail running has become one of my favorite activities. I love to find new places to run and explore the beautiful Utah mountains.
BIG INFLUENCES
My high school coach gave me a passion for the sport and a fire to get as good as I could. My college coach taught me the importance of smart and patient, healthy training over time for the best long-term improvement. Good coaches taught me to dream bigger than I thought possible and made me believe in my dreams.
Some books that have shaped my view on training and improving, including “Good to Go” by Christie Aschwanden, “Endure: Mind, Body and the Curiously Elastic Limits” by Alex Hutchinson, “Chop Wood Carry Water” by Joshua Medcalf, and many more.
RACING HISTORY
In high school, I led my team to a cross-country state championship and a 4th place finish at Nike Cross Nationals. Recently, I helped my college team finish 11th, 26th and 22nd in cross-country NCAA championships. I have achieved All Mountain West Conference six times. In 2024, I finished 25th in Division 1 NCAA cross-country, earning All-American honors. However, what has been most satisfying to me as a runner is seeing my improvement over the years. The first 5k I ever ran was over 30 minutes, and after years of training, I can cover over twice the distance in that time.

Michaela Hassler –
Camren has been an incredibly informative and supportive coach. Since working with him, I’ve made so much progress—breaking free from the injury cycle and finally getting back into racing for fun! I’m excited to keep going with his amazing guidance and encouragement:)))
Sam Nelson –
Camren’s the best. I’m a wildland firefighter and needed help preparing for a 1.5 mile run test for work. Camren helped me go from 10:30 to a 9:07 mile and a half in two months. He was always available to answer my questions and gave me great workouts. Highly recommend
