About Ryan

I received my UESCA ultrarunning coach certification in January 2025. I am looking forward to working with athletes to help them achieve their running goals.

Given that I am entering the world of "Masters" running, and my own personal goal of continuing this passion for as long as possible, I have a particular interest in working with other athletes who are currently on this same path. Navigating some of the challenges associated with "getting old", and trying to delay the "decrepit" part of aging for as long as possible!

Coaching Philosophy

Consistency is King! My goal is to help you develop a sustainable, growth-focused mindset for the long haul, while using short-term race goals as stepping stones along the way. We’ll balance tailored, short-term training plans with a comprehensive long-term roadmap that fits into your current lifestyle, but also nudges you to keep pushing your limits.

I’ve personally worked with coaches for over five years and know firsthand the value of having a rational, supportive guide in your corner. A good coach helps you find that sweet spot—training hard enough to grow, but not so hard that you burn out—while helping you navigate all the inevitable ups and downs of both training and life. I’m here to be that partner for you, providing structure, motivation, and a bit of fun as we chase your running goals together!
