I have been coaching runners and triathletes for the last 10 years. I have coached individual athletes as well as high school track and cross country teams. Aside from private coaching I have led couch to 5k groups as well as marathon training groups through the running specialty store I operated. I mainly work with adults training for a specific goal races. However, I also enjoy working with high school athletes.

I competed in Track and Field and Cross Country in high school and college. While at Truman State I was an all conference award winner 5 times and qualified for multiple NCAA Championships. I achieved personal records of 15:01 for 5k and 2:34:00 for the marathon. Since college I have taken up Triathlon and have been an All American each of the last 5 years and qualified to represent USA at the Age Group World Championships.

Sessions can vary widely depending on the goals of the athlete. For runners: there is typically a warmup jog followed by drills and dynamic stretching. After that comes the main interval session of the workout followed by a cool down jog or walk. This is usually a once a week meeting with other days workouts prescribed to do on your own.
