Philosophy

I am a big proponent of operating on two week cycles that include speed development, threshold work, tempo work, race specific prep, and interval sessions. I believe you need to work on all systems throughout the season to prepare for your key races. The emphasis on each system varies for the main workout of each two week cycle.

Coaching Experience

18 years as a high school track and field and cross country coach. I have also coached adults in the 5k – marathon with great success.

About Me

I am a father of two young kids and I am a huge track and field and road running junkie. I currently have a personal running streak of over 2,000 straight days! Over 5 years!

Big Influences

Mark Wetmore, Jay Johnson, my high school coach.

Really developed my system through trial and error on my self and my high school athletes. I have my approach completely dialed in and fully committed to making you the best you can be!
