About Adam

I have been running for 12 years, starting with road 5k's, transitioning to trail running then switching to Ultras. I have ran several races ranging from 50k to 100 Miles. I enjoy helping others realize their hidden potential, and accomplish their goals. If you are looking to step up to Ultra Marathons and need guidance, I can definitely help! Im newly certified as a coach, but have been self coached for my entire running journey, as well as helping many friends achieve their running goals.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe in making the training plan fit your lifestyle, training for Ultras is hard, but it doesn't have to take over your life. You should be able to enjoy not only the race, but also the training leading up to it! I setup custom plans tailored to your schedule, current fitness and the race you are wanting to run, not a pre made plan.
