Aubrey –
Tyler is a fantastic coach! I am a new runner and wanted to get a training plan from someone with real experience. Tyler thoughtfully prepared my running plan with strength training exercises included to help build resilience and prevent injuries. He consistently checked in after each week and could explain why I was experiencing soreness or pain after some runs. He would advise me on stretches and exercises to implement to feel better for the next run. Highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive coach!

I am training with Tyler for an upcoming half marathon and he has been an incredible coach! He is hands on, checks in every other day and is very supportive while also pushing me when needed. He’s very communicative and reliable. I was dealing with some unexpected injuries at the start and I honestly do not know how I would have proceeded with training if I were doing this alone. When I considered deferring, he was supportive of my choice, but also subtly pushed me towards keeping the race on the calendar and not giving up. He was encouraging and scaled me back as needed and we’re now working together on getting race ready as I’m injury free! He was even kind enough to research my shoes and take a look at my running form and offer suggestions. I’m very appreciative of his efforts and highly recommend him as a run coach!

Exceptional, Effective, and Supportive Coaching; Highly Recommend!
Tyler’s training programming is outstanding. It is well-structured, flexible, and rooted in real experience. He made thoughtful adjustments when I needed them, and when I got hurt he was compassionate and practical: scaling things back to let me heal and then steadily guiding me back to my start line and finish line.
He’s easy to talk to, communicates weekly, and makes timely adjustments based on how you’re feeling and progressing. The plan works! I saw real results. If you want a coach who’s knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely supportive, Tyler is the one. Highly recommend.

Tyler is attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. He listened to me and my concerns as a new runner, and took them very seriously. He crafted a plan for me with care, and pushed me to reach my goals. I highly recommend him to runners of all experience levels!
Gabi Horton –
Tyler is a fantastic coach! He is flexible, thoughtful about his running plans for each athlete, and pushes you without being pushy. I had Tyler coach me for my second marathon, and he adapted to my needs and schedule while still making sure I got race ready! This was my first time using a coach for this distance, and having someone dedicated along the way cheering and coaching me to success made all the difference. Thank you so much Tyler!!

I started working with Tyler to prepare for a Spartan ultra race and in only two months I noticed a huge improvement in my endurance. I’ve been hitting longer runs at faster paces than I’ve ever done before. Tyler is very attentive and regularly checks in on how I’m feeling to se if any programming needs to be tweaked. Highly recommend

I just wanted to take a moment to share how incredible Tyler, my running coach has been throughout my training journey. From day one, he crafted a personalized program that perfectly aligns with my goals, whether it’s improving my speed, building endurance, or preparing for races. His attention to detail and understanding of my individual needs have truly made a difference in my performance.
What really sets him apart is his ability to communicate and motivate. He always knows how to cheer me on via a text or strava kudos, pushing me to go that extra mile while also providing constructive feedback that helps me grow. His positive energy is contagious, and it makes every training session enjoyable even though I only am completing his programming. Which is top notch. I myself coach High School XC, and Tylers programming is individually based and truly beyond what I could have created for myself. It is just the right level of difficulty and meets all my needs.
Overall, I can’t recommend him enough. His expertise, encouragement, and genuine passion for helping others succeed make him an exceptional coach. If you’re looking to elevate your running game, look no further! As I like to say, he slays the coaching game

Tyler is awesome! I started training with him back in October 2024 for an upcoming Hyrox competition to improve my running/endurance and I’ve improved exponentially in just 4 months. My pace, heart rate, strength, and recovery.
Tyler is knowledgeable, attentive, and focused on helping you as an individual athlete. He programs based on your needs and goals. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a coach either to train for any type of marathon, ultra, Hyrox or triathlon.
