Coaching

My goal is to provide training and sound advice to athletes who want to make progress toward achieving their running goals.

I provide:
  • no-nonsense, no-gimmicks coaching for runners from World- or National-Class to beginners, and anyone in between
  • detailed training programs for races 800 meters to 100 miles long, based on science and experience with a proven history of success
