I want to help you train for what matters to you and keep running long after that race. We’ll start with where you are, build around your real schedule, and talk honestly about how the work is going.
HOW I COACH
STAY HEALTHY. SHOW UP HEALTHY. KEEP RUNNING.
My first priority is helping you stay healthy and able to run. For a race, I want you on the start line healthy, even if that means being slightly undertrained. I care about what happens after that race too.
Easy runs, recovery, rest, sleep, strength, and mobility all have a place in the plan. We use hard work when it serves your goal and your body is ready for it. Consistency matters. So does telling me honestly how things are going.
We are not trying to win the training plan. We are preparing you to run the race and to keep running after it.
WHAT COACHING INCLUDES
I build your training around your starting point, schedule, goals, and response to the work. That can mean a race plan, structured workouts, pacing and effort guidance, recovery days, strength or mobility work, and race-day strategy. I review the training you complete and make adjustments as we learn what works for you.
Depending on what we agree on and what is practical, we may also run together. We’ll talk through the support you need before we begin.
HOW YOUR TRAINING WORKS
Your training calendar, workouts, races, and progress live in Final Surge. I use it to build your plan, review your completed runs, and make changes. Structured workouts can sync to a supported training device or platform where that connection is available. You do not need a new watch to work with me.
Once we’re working together, I’ll help you get set up. You’ll also have a private Coaching Hub for your coaching forms and broader check-ins.
HOW WE KEEP IN TOUCH
After your runs
Comment in Final Surge when there’s something useful for me to know. For key workouts, long runs, races, or anything that didn’t go as planned, tell me briefly how it felt. You don’t need to write something after every easy run.
If something hurts
Use the Final Surge Pain & Injury Report to tell me where you’re having pain or discomfort and how it’s affecting you. Add a workout comment too if there’s more I should know. Medical or injury concerns belong with the appropriate healthcare professional.
Quick questions and bigger updates
Message me in Final Surge for a quick general question or update. For travel, work demands, poor sleep, unusual fatigue, schedule changes, or anything broader that may affect your training, use “Check In With Me” in your private Coaching Hub. It’s there when you need it.
THE PLAN CAN CHANGE
A missed workout stays missed unless moving it genuinely makes sense. If life, recovery, soreness, illness, fatigue, or a new race changes the picture, we adjust the work ahead. I want us both to speak up early so the plan keeps serving you.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You might be preparing for your first race, building back to consistent running, moving up in distance, chasing a time goal, or looking for more structure through a half marathon or marathon. Tell me where you are and what you’re working toward.
LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR RUNNING
If this sounds like the kind of coaching relationship you’re looking for, tell me a little about what you’re training for and what kind of support you need.
