About Tony

I have loved running as long as I can remember. I found ultra endurance running through a desire to really explore my limits, to push on my perceived sense of potential. My experiences with races from marathons to 240 miles have repeatedly shown the transformative impact of exploring new horizons mentally, physically and emotionally while developing greater grit and resilience along the way. I'm a husband, father, athlete and coach, and I love to help others achieve more than they thought possible, whatever their goals.

Coaching Philosophy

– Proven principles with interdisciplinary knowledge: Openness, humility, self-actualization, and grit are FSF’s first principles. Knowledge comes from professional coaching, racing, crewing, and ongoing coaching education.
– Coaching tailored to your unique abilities, your goals, your life: Everything starts with understanding your deeper ‘why’ and the principles that guide you. Goals, training constraints and approach, and specific coaching are all built from there.
– Focused on high performance, beyond simply miles and pace: You are more than just an athlete striving for a next-level challenge. FSF coaching is geared around helping you extend your horizon as a human, well beyond the finish line.
