About Ben

My primary passion as a runner and a coach are ultra marathons, especially the 100 mile distance. I believe that if an athlete has the will and drive to tackle ultra distances, we can find a way to make it happen. I relish opportunities in helping athletes reach big goals.

Coaching Philosophy

Every athlete is a unique individual. And every athlete will benefit from an individualized training plan. An athlete’s uniqueness involves not only their genetic composition but also their personal history. That history will include the more obvious: current physical build, years of athletic training and competition, past injuries, diet, etc. Factors may also include data that is more covert such as: locations where the individual has lived, life stressors, personal drive, and numerous others. My training plans are designed to give athletes the tools to achieve goals and milestones within a proven system that accounts for an individual’s work/life/family obligations.
