Science based training plans · Florence, MT
Run farther.
Race faster.
Running and triathlon coaching for beginners chasing a first finish line and seasoned athletes chasing a PR — built around your work, your family, and the time you actually have.
Be My Next Success Story
Your first finish line starts here
I work closely with every athlete I coach — beginners discovering racing for the first time, and veterans hunting a time they have chased for years. You decide what you want to do, and I help you along the way.
Client results are coming soon. I would rather show you real ones than made-up ones.
Get In TouchThe Problem
Training built for a life that will not slow down for you
No time
Work runs late, the kids need picking up, and the plan you downloaded assumes you have two free hours a day. You don't.
Starting over
Coming back from an injury or years away from sport, every generic plan feels like it was written for someone else's body.
Plateaued
You have put in the miles and the race time will not move. More volume is not the answer — smarter structure is.
The Real-Life Plan
Custom, science-based plans that get you across the finish line strong and alert — not just across it.
Easy runs, tempo, threshold, and long runs, sequenced to progress you safely for short and long distance races.
Nutrition plans built specific to you, so race day is fueled, not survived.
Strength and conditioning when you want it, fitted around work and family commitments — not instead of them.

Questions
Before you ask
Is this safe for my situation?
Yes — safety is the whole point of a custom plan. I take into account your injury history and current fitness, and every plan progresses safely. Coming back from something? We start where you are, not where a template thinks you should be.
Have you worked with someone like me?
I love working with all athletes, from total beginners to the well seasoned. First milestones and new personal bests are both worth celebrating — I have coached youth athletes, friends, and racers chasing qualifying times.
I barely have time to train. Does that work?
That is exactly who this is for. I build plans around your work and family commitments. You tell me what your week looks like, and the plan fits it — real life, no perfect conditions required.
