The goals, the motivation, the effort, and the results are all yours. So why do you need a coach?
You may not. It may be that you are achieving good results, making steady improvement and enjoying the process. You may feel that you are running to your potential, or perhaps that’s not important to you so long as you’re improving. Kudos to you.
If you didn’t check all the boxes in the paragraph above, perhaps you’re a relatively new runner who has enjoyed the first blush of quick improvement, but now you’ve hit a plateau. Or you’re an experienced runner who has been doing similar training for years, and the results are beginning to disappoint. Or you’ve been doing well but you have always felt that there’s another level that you can reach.
The Practice
I can help you articulate and prioritize your goals and I can design a program to achieve them. Your program is unique to you, a function of your history and your goals. It will evolve as you progress, based on your current fitness and your response to the training. My style is more collaborative than authoritarian; if you need someone to yell at you, I’m probably not the right coach.
I gravitated toward coaching adults because I understand the challenges of work/life/athletics balance and I want to help you achieve that in your life.
