About Michael

I became interested in running in 2012, when I was about 70 pounds overweight. I started being part of running communities and I got totally hooked.
That's where my path as a runner began, always interested in going one step further and learning about training, nutrition and strengthening.
As an athlete he finished races such as: Ultra Race in Venezuela, Down To Run in Florida, Black Canyon in Arizona, Broken Arrow Triple Crown in California, Bear 100 in Utah

Coaching Philosophy

My training platform is called The Journey 100.
I have the philosophy that the training process is a great journey where the goal is to achieve 100% of your potential.
But what is this trip like:
Educational: As a coach I am interested in each athlete knowing the "Why" of each training session, this guarantees that we understand the objective of each session.
100% Real Life: It's great to achieve big goals, but amateur runners don't just run, they have a life beyond and there are many factors from that real life that must be taken into account when developing a training plan, not only to achieve the goals, also to have a longer, happier and fuller life.
