About Max

I started running as a hiker. I would plan out weekend adventures in the Mountains of Colorado and started finding peaks that were just too far away. I ditched the ankle boots and laced up a pair of trails shoes. I've been trail running more and more every year since.

I started coaching to empower the athletes I work with. I want to set them up for success and whatever the goals they have for themselves. I believe that running is for EVERYONE! I've worked with athletes where success can be anything from becoming a consistent runner to training to reach the top of podiums.

Coaching Philosophy

My job as a coach is to fit training into your life, not your life fit into your training. I'll be part of your support system. Every athlete is unique; you'll receive an individualized training program to fit into your short-term and long-term goals. Life happens and training doesn't always go as planned, through regular communication and feedback I'll adapt the training plan to help you continue to improve as a runner to meet your goals. No one program works for every athlete, your program will be adapted to your progression.
I build training programs to be sustainable and challenge you to meet your goals. When you have a goal event we will get specific with training to meet the unique demands of that event.
