I am currently only offering online coaching. I have over ten years experience teaching and coaching online, and provide a very personalized experience.

Technique training for recreational runners experiencing chronic injury:
I approach the athlete with total confidence that they can address most chronic or nagging injuries by improving their posture and stride mechanics. Through a process of evaluation, a progression of drills, and practice, I can help an athlete feel distinct improvement in our first session. By meeting additional times over the course of a few weeks I provide support to make the new technique a subconscious movement.

Endurance Training for Intermediate to Experienced Runners:
I begin with a conversation about your experience and current or future goals, along with an assessment of technique. Based on your goals, any injury issues, recent training and current fitness, I will design an annual plan that will help you peak for key races. In general, face to face sessions are usually reserved for track/speed workouts where I can help monitor correct pacing while also incorporating ongoing technique instruction.

Coach Craig,

Very knowledgeable coach that has the ability to teach. He answered all questions and went over drills, strengthening and running form. Cannot wait to take my next lesson. A+++

Thanks,

Jim

Gave my daughter an assessment and went over some drills to help with technique. Craig is very knowledgeable and passionate about track. We will be booking more sessions moving forward.

My son was very resistant to this - we basically had to force him. Coach was amazing - our son came home so excited by the session and is excited to make it a long term relationship. Thank you - Thank you - Thank you

Coach Craig is very knowledgeable and passionate about track and field! He came prepared with drills and a keen eye to pick up on any technical flaws. It was great watching him work with my son!

Craig leads a wonderfully organized track and field club that my daughter participates. He provides very age-appropriate instruction across all the different events in a way that the kids love.
