Professional Running Coaching

Distance coaching for high school runners and adults, in person around Truckee/Tahoe and Reno, and in the Bay Area by arrangement. Remote plans for adults. Standard plans are $75/month; contact me for custom pricing.

Tailored Training for Every Runner

Whether you're training for your first 5K or chasing a Boston Marathon qualifier, I create personalized training plans that adapt to your schedule, fitness level, and goals. As a Truckee High School cross country and track coach with years of competitive and coaching experience, I understand what it takes to help athletes reach their full potential.

Results

I've coached 60+ athletes; 85% have set PRs, and 12 adults have qualified for Boston. I ran NCAA Division I cross country at Marshall University and coach distance at Truckee High.

Training Approach

My coaching philosophy centers on sustainable progress through science-based training principles. Each plan is customized to your current fitness level, available training time, and specific race goals. I emphasize proper running form and biomechanics, periodized training that balances stress and recovery, strategic race preparation and pacing, and mental preparation for race day success.
