I am based in San Antonio, TX and have over 20 years of running experience. Many of those years focused on road running but in 2010, I ventured towards trail running. That naturally led me to ultramarathoning, competing in distances up to 50mi. https://www.athlinks.com/athletes/4781118

Hello,
I am an Ultra Runner and CrossFit athlete. I coach in both sports and love helping other go beyond what they think possible! Injury prevention and mobility are top priorities as well. It sucks getting hurt just because you didn't want to do the ten minute warmup.
