More About Coach Joshua

In my 23-year tenure in the United States Marine Corps, now retired, I was pivotal in ensuring the physical fitness and readiness of thousands of Marines, focusing on running, endurance, and comprehensive physical conditioning. This role involved developing tailored fitness programs, mentoring for peak physical performance, and fostering a culture of health and discipline.

Levels and Locations of Coaching

My coaching spanned from individual mentorship to orchestrating large-scale training programs, primarily aimed at young adults and seasoned personnel alike, to meet rigorous military fitness benchmarks.

Age Groups

I have extensive experience working with adults, focusing on instilling robust physical fitness habits and achieving demanding fitness goals.

Certifications

While my background is rooted in military training rather than civilian certifications, the depth of my experience in fitness instruction and leadership underscores my commitment to excellence in coaching and personal development in the running domain.

My passion for running has led me to complete 20 half marathons and 12 marathons, a journey marked by dedication and resilience. Among these, I have qualified for and competed in high-profile races that are recognized worldwide for their competitive entry standards and prestigious nature, including the Tokyo Marathon and the Marine Corps Marathon. These accomplishments not only reflect my commitment to the sport but also my ability to perform at a high level across various challenging courses and conditions.

Clients can expect both one-time and recurring training sessions designed to significantly improve their running performance and help them achieve their personal goals. Each session begins with an initial assessment of your fitness background, current running capabilities, and targeted objectives. This personalized approach allows me to craft a comprehensive training program tailored specifically to your needs, encompassing running distance/time, pace, and specialized drills aimed at enhancing your overall running technique.

For local clients, I offer the option of in-person workouts, where we can engage in hands-on training sessions focused on specific drills or techniques aimed at improving your stride, form, and endurance. These sessions are not only about physical training but also about building mental toughness and discipline, reflecting my background in military training.

Regardless of your location, you will benefit from unlimited email support and weekly phone consultations to address any questions, adjust your training plan as needed, and ensure you stay motivated and on track to meet your goals. My approach is holistic, focusing not just on the physical aspect of running but also on mental preparedness, nutrition, and recovery strategies to ensure a well-rounded and effective training experience.
