More About Coach Kenneth
I currently serve as the Head Track & Field Coach at St. Augustine High School, with more than 15 years of coaching experience across the youth, high school, and collegiate levels. I am a USATF Level 2 certified endurance coach.
Accomplished former NCAA Division I All-American middle-distance runner at California State University San Marcos, former Nike Farm Team professional track athlete, and two-time USATF Masters Outdoor National Champion.
A typical session with me is structured, purposeful, and tailored to the athlete’s event, fitness level, and stage of the season. For middle-distance athletes competing in the 400m through 3200m, every workout is designed to build the specific combination of speed, strength, endurance, and race awareness needed to perform at a high level.
Throughout the workout, I focus on more than just completing reps. I coach athletes on pacing, breathing rhythm, body position, arm action, relaxation under effort, and how to finish strongly when fatigued. I also help athletes understand why they are doing each workout so they become smarter, more confident competitors.

Client Reviews
Kapila (CoachUp client)
Training for a military school and Coach Ken is a great fit to get me where I need to go. Easy going and very knowledgable.
Macy Washington (Testimonial)
I appreciate how coach Ken hops into most of the workout and does them with the kids to teach by example, plus it's impressive to see how fit and competitive he still is at his age. It inspires a lot of us parents to get in shape when we watch him beating high school and college students in races.
Sophia Martinez (Testimonial)
The workouts are tough, but they work. Every session builds toward something. I saw improvements not just physically, but in how I approached competition.
Janessa Smith (Testimonial)
Coach Ken helped me believe in myself again. After a tough season, I came back stronger and ran PRs across the board. His guidance goes beyond just training.
Carrie W (Testimonial)
What I liked most was how personalized everything was. This wasn’t a generic plan... it was built specifically for me and my goals. The results followed. Thanks Coach!
Steve Anderson (Testimonial)
I struggled with consistency before working with Coach Ken. His structure and accountability helped me stay locked in, and I ended up qualifying for state for the first time.
Tyler Straw (Testimonial)
Coach Ken doesn’t just give workouts, he teaches you how to race. That made the biggest difference for me. I went from getting outkicked to winning races.
Darius Lewis (Testimonial)
I joined Coach Ken’s program not knowing what to expect, but within weeks I felt stronger and more confident. I hit a huge PR in the 400m and finally broke 50 seconds.
Jacob Peterson (Testimonial)
I’ve worked with a lot of coaches, but Coach Ken is on another level. His experience as a professional athlete shows in the way he programs training and prepares you mentally.
Lisa Morgan (Testimonial)
As a parent, I appreciated how professional and structured everything was. My daughter not only improved her times, but gained confidence and discipline. Coach Ken is the real deal.
Ethan Relly (Testimonial)
What stands out most about Coach Ken is how much he actually cares. Every workout had a purpose, and he was always checking in. I dropped my mile time from 5:10 to 4:42 in under a year.
Marcus Thomas (Testimonial)
Coach Ken completely changed how I approached racing. I went from running 2:02 in the 800m to 1:56 in one season. His workouts are intentional, and he knows exactly how to bring out your best when it matters.
Miguel Ramirez (Testimonial)
Coach Ken was my distance coach back when he worked at Chula Vista High School. Most of us on the team didn't really take track seriously before he got there, then in one season he strengthened our distance program and got many of us to win league titles in our events. He's easily one of the best distance coaches in San Diego.
Michael Porter - Parent (Testimonial)
Coach Ken is not only a track coach, he's a mentor to young adults throughout the country. On the track, he's an expert at middle distance and of the track, he runs an organization that teaches leadership and kindness.
