I, along with 8 other coaches, will offer free 1:1 coaching for the calendar year of 2024. If you are interested in learning more, please click the below link and consider applying.

Why a Coach

What We Offer

Our Philosophy

Coaching for road and trail runners of all distances.

Training plan through Google Sheets, including:

  • Long term, multi-season planning
  • Weekly scheduling, including prescribed easy, long and workout runs and strength training
  • Race nutrition guidance
  • Gear and fastpacking guidance
  • Weekly office hours
  • Private Bean Sprout community (Slack and Strava)
  • Vendor discounts on brands we partner with

A good coach is both a guide and a mentor. A coach is a thought partner in your running practice, helping you train more efficiently and avoid pitfalls in training and racing. A coach will offer structure and expertise. Many athletes struggle with how and why to write workouts and how often to go hard or easy.
