I believe that a positive relationship is the most important part of a coaching experience. If you don’t trust your coach, you will not be as willing to listen to them and you won’t feel as confident going into a race. A runner should be able to ask questions about their training plan and share what is working and what is not working. Its important to decide if you feel like you will relate well with your coach before starting to train.

My Coaching Philosophy: Train Smarter, Not Harder.
More miles does not always equal faster running. I have seen too many runners (including myself) get injured from inappropriate training volume. In order to determine the best type of training plan, I look at each runner’s history, current status, and goals. I like to err on the side of less miles versus risking overtraining or injury.
