COACHING
My passion, enthusiasm, organizational skills, accountability and personal commitment to the sport of ultra and trail running are what I offer. In our first meeting, in person or on the phone, I want to learn about YOU, your background, current life and running goals. We will then build your training and racing schedule together and work through the season/year to adjust for the realities of life.
PREFERRED - $225 per month
Personalized Plan - from your schedule changes to goals, the plans I write are for each individual.
Daily Email Message with your workout and link to a Google Form for ease to fill in your training log.
Data Upload - Through DashLX, if you subscribe, your run and workout data can directly upload to your training log.
Weekly Email Summary - sent when I review and write your schedule.
Tracking of Wellness Data - When you use the Google Form to upload your data we will check in on sleep, resting heart rate, fueling and stress.
Call Time - As you need. We can get on the phone for a quick check-in. About 3 x 20 min per month.
1 hour on-boarding call - This call will get us started, understanding where you are, what your goals are and what your hopes and expectations of being coached are. If in person we can meet to run to analyze gait, do a workout together, or chat over coffee. Whatever makes sense for you. Additional calls can be added.
Direct Contact through Texting - You have a direct line to me as needed. Texting is the quickest way to touch base and usually the fastest way to work towards answers.
Sounding Board - There will be questions related to training, organizing pacers, recovery methods, gear and many other topics, you’ve got me as a resource and support. I believe there is so much more mental than physical that goes into the preparation for, execution of running and recovering from any distance race and I am happy to listen, share and talk through these phases. As things come up during training you can reach out.
Gear Discounts - I am happy to recommend and will guide you to specific products and provide gear discounts that I get to pass along from my sponsors and partners.

8th grade, High School, Ultra = BOOK!
Thank you for your support of the 2nd edition!
December 2015 I released a training manual titled Running Your First Ultra: Customizable Training Plans for Your First 50k to 100 Mile Race. The second edition published in March 2022.
The book includes detailed training plans, stories, and advice. The feedback from the first edition was so incredibly positive that I was able to work with Page Street Publishing to overhaul and update to create the second edition. I love that even though it was written for first time ultra runners (because that is who I primarily love to coach!) runners of all levels are telling me that they love it. People that are running their 50th ultra to those who will never run an ultra have told me that there is great information for anyone. We are all always learning.
Running Your First Ultra (2nd edition) is available for purchase direct from the author and online.
