Your training should be written by somebody who has run it.
One coach. Your plan gets written for the week ahead, then rewritten once I see how that week actually went. Race time, scholarship, weight loss, getting back in shape — same process, built around your life.
I write the week. You run it. We adjust.
Training plans usually fall apart in ordinary ways. Tuesday gets busy, the workout gets skipped, nothing gets moved around, and a few weeks later the schedule on your fridge has very little to do with the running you're actually doing.
That's what a coach fixes. Every Sunday you get the week ahead. You run it, tell me how it went, and I rewrite the next one from that — not from a chart I made back in January.
Some weeks the right call is three easy days instead of the workout. You want somebody who will look at your log and say so.
Highlighted day is the one that mattered. Every week I write has one — and for most runners it is not a tempo at 5:22.
Three moving parts, and one of them is you.
We talk
A call or a long email. Your history, injuries, what your week actually looks like, and what you're after. If I'm not the right coach for it, I'll say so before you pay anything.
You get a plan
Paces off your current fitness, not your goal fitness. Mileage starts where you are. Every session has its purpose written down.
It gets rewritten
Sore, flat, slammed at work, or flying — the next week reflects it. That's the only kind of plan worth writing down.
This works well if you…
- Are a high school runner building toward a scholarship — I earned a full ride and know what it takes to get on a college coach's radar.
- Are a college athlete who needs to be in race-day shape early and still have legs left when conference rolls around.
- Want to get in shape or lose weight and need structure that doesn't wreck you in week two.
- Are coming back after months or years off and don't want to blow up in week three.
- Have a 5K, 10K, half or full on the calendar and a number you want to hit.
- Have run the same four miles at the same pace for a year and stalled out.
- Want somebody to be accountable to on a Sunday night.
How I work
- Coaching is a back-and-forth. If you'd rather have a plan handed over once, the one-time plan build is the better buy.
- Log your runs somewhere I can see them. The weekly rewrite is built on what you actually ran.
- Fueling and nutrition are fair game — ask and we'll talk it through. Diagnosing an injury is a doctor's job; I'll build around what they tell you.
- Short timelines depend on where you're starting. Give me the date and I'll tell you what's realistic.
Tell me your goal.
First conversation is free, there's nothing to buy on this site, and I'll give you a straight answer about whether coaching is worth it for you right now.
