You’re a trail runner who wants to show up to your stage race or ultramarathon fully prepared to run your best race ever.
You work hard at everything you do, and that includes your training. You’re already consistent and motivated. Private coaching builds on that by providing the structure, strategy, and expert feedback you need to take on your biggest, craziest race goals confidently.
1:1 Ultrarunning Coaching is for you if you're committed to a big ultra or stage race and want to leave nothing to chance, but also…
You're running 5-7 days per week, but you’re not getting much faster and long runs aren’t really getting any easier.
You've read the blog posts and watched the YouTube videos, but as soon as you've decided you need more easy volume, you hear that speedwork is essential, and that you shouldn't ignore strength training, so you're left wondering how to fit all this in before or after work.
You monitor your running metrics, but it’s not clear what to do with that info or which numbers even matter in trail running.
You have experience with strength training, but you don't know if you need to do more barbell back squats or less, or whether you have to give up upper body strength training because it might slow you down.
You're trying to monitor your fatigue with your Whoop, but after it counts the strain of your long run and your 15-hour race as similar, you're skeptical and think there's got to be a better way to know if you should do your easy run or take a rest day instead.
You understand nutrition for the most part, but when it comes to running, you’re not sure if your daily nutrition is optimal for performance and recovery.
You’re ambitious, but not reckless. One day you're sure you need to run 100 miles per week to finish your race, and the next week you're worried you're overtraining.
You can show up to the start line of your next race fully confident and ready, knowing you've done everything possible to prepare for whatever challenges you're going to face during your race.
1:1 Ultrarunning Coaching can give you clarity, direction, and support so you know that the time you’re spending on training is part of a cohesive structured plan that gets you from where you are to where you need to be to perform at your absolute best on race day.
My Coaching Philosophy
Training has to address every variable.
To race at your best, all of the pieces of your training need to be part of a connected system: your strength training needs to support your running workouts, your nutrition needs to match your training volume, and your recovery needs to adjust to your training load rather than deloading on an arbitrary schedule. As your coach, I'll build a complete program that includes strength training, personalized nutrition guidance, and HRV monitoring to make sure you're handling the training load and recovering well. For example, if your running volume will be slowly ramping up from 8 to 10 hours per week, your strength training exercises, sets, and reps will adjust also so that your legs get the stimulus they need, but won’t feel heavy for every run.
Race readiness goes beyond fitness.
Real race readiness means having a fueling and hydration plan, a pacing plan, and the skills to make good decisions when things don't go as planned. You can be as fit as ever and still not be ready for your race. Many aspects of race preparation seem straightforward, but are easy to get wrong. For example, carrying too much food adds pack weight that costs you time and energy, but carrying too little risks bonking with no resupply option. For multi-day ultramarathons and stage races, this goes even further: gear selection, pack weight, self-supported logistics, and anything else specific to that race all need to be sorted before race day forces them on you. I'll walk you through every aspect of preparation so that as little as possible is left to chance.
The right plan bridges the gap between where you are and what your race requires.
Your best ultra performance starts on the day training begins when we assess your current aerobic capacity, aerobic durability, musculoskeletal durability, fueling capacity, and race-specific skills, as well as the full demands of your race: terrain, distance, elevation, back-to-back structure, self-supported requirements, mandatory gear, logistics, pacing, and support needs. I'll then build a roadmap to prepare you for every challenging aspect you’ll face, whether it’s the distance alone or other variables like heat, hills, and pack weight.
Fast, specific feedback is what makes the plan work.
If your plan of 60g of carbs and 800ml of fluid per hour was stopping you from finishing your long runs stronger, you’d want to know as soon as possible so that you could correct it. What you need is fast, specific feedback you can act on right away. As a full-time coach, I comment on your workouts, answer your questions on WhatsApp, and review your strength training technique videos, all within 24 hours (48 hours on weekends). If a weekly 1:1 call doesn't fit your schedule, I'll send you a weekly video with commentary on your previous week and how it relates to the training block you're in.
