SPECIALTIES
Looking to work with motivated individuals, whether you’ve been running for 10 days or 10 years, I want to help you achieve your goals. I competed at the D3 level in college, and have experience training for, and working with people in events from the 800m all the way up to the marathon.
PHILOSOPHY
My Philosophy on training is consistent work. You may hear the term keep the ball rolling, and this is exactly the idea. I want training to be strenuous enough to make you push, but should not leave you feeling absolutely smashed. This comes from years of first hand experience that ending a workout one rep short is normally better than Turing yourself inside out just to make pace. My overall goal for my athletes is to make it to the starting line healthy, and with the ability to achieve their goals.
COACHING EXPERIENCE
While I haven’t worked with any high profile athletes, I have helped friends and family with running goals over the years. I’ve helped a number a number of personal friends and family reach their goals. These goals have ranged from just being able to walk/jog an entire 5k to breaking 20 minutes in a 5k.
ABOUT ME
Just a normal everyday guy, who loves to go run. I ran competitively in high school and collegiately at Berea college in Kentucky. While there I gained 3 All-American awards. I graduated into the covid pandemic and have had to make due since. I recently moved back home to Tennessee, and I am exploring all of the amazing trails the smokey mountains have to offer!! I fell in love with running the moment I started and I’ve never looked back, besides to see how far I’ve come. I have been blessed from running, and at the end of the day I want to help each athlete find their love for the sport and find out how good they can be.
BIG INFLUENCES
The Jack Daniel’s formula plays a big role in my coaching philosophy, while also drawing from Tom “Tinman” Schwartz, Lydiard, and my college coach Shawn Jakubowski.

JPR –
Logan and I have been a good fit. He always gets back to me right away when I have any questions. He always has my workout loaded and ready for me to go. I had an injury and he worked with me to get going again. I’ve already accomplished my first short term goal and keep on improving. I’m feeling great about how things are going and Logan has been a lot of help.
