SPECIALTIES

Trail and Ultra, with focus on improvement and enjoyment over strictly results. Would love to work with athletes that are just getting started, or training for goal events, and want to keep motivation high. Being a part of the clients’ journey, and supporting those efforts, is what it is all about!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe we are all born runners, regardless of ability or performance. The process is the goal, and enjoyment along the way is the payoff! My goal will be to get my clients prepared mentally and physically for the task at hand, and get them to the finish feeling proud and accomplished.

COACHING EXPERIENCE

Lots of coaching experience, though mostly high school and college basketball. So, if you need help with your jump shot, I got you covered there too 🙂 I’ve also worked with an ultra coach myself for several years, so I know what it’s like as an athlete to put together training and build upon one season after another as the training goals change and fine-tune for upcoming races.

ABOUT ME

I began running 1 mile a day a little over 10 years ago. Fast forward to now, and I have completed over 45 ultras, including Hardrock (x2) and Western States 100! Being out on the trails, with friends and family, is where I am most fulfilled!

BIG INFLUENCES

I was member of Team SWAP (David Roche) for 3 years, and have been working with Team Run Run for many years. I am also a voracious reader of all things training and coaching, so I would say my philosophy is an assimilation of all this past experience.

RACING HISTORY

Started out with a 50 miler in November 2013 (Red Rock 50), and followed that up with another 50 (Sean O’Brien), three months later. Since then, I have run 4-6 ultra per year. I believe in scheduling a yearly race calendar, and building a training schedule from there.
