I've been involved in large group club coaching as well as small group personal coaching since 2017. I currently coach through the run specialty store, Charm City Run. I specialize in marathon training. Besides traditional road races, I have run ultras, relay style events, timed endurance events, and trail traces. My favorite runs are on rural mountain roads.
My coaching philosophy is to meet you where you are at. I don't use template plans. Every runner has their own starting and ending point, even in group training. I value volume over intensity, using speedwork selectively to safely move up pace while building endurance. I've used a variety of methodologies, from Galloway to Hansens, in order to coach runners to their full potential. Every runner gets a qualitative and quantitative report documenting their progress and successes following each training season.
