I provide my athletes with a training schedule that is customized to their fitness level and includes structured workouts at various paces, that will progress you toward your goals. The varied paces target different physiological systems to assist in your development and advance your fitness - improving VO2Max, running economy, and extending your endurance. I review the data from your runs to ensure the program meets you at your current fitness level and safely and effectively progresses you towards your goals. Most runners are unsure of what they should be doing to make continued progress, or are unsure of their goals. This is okay too, as I make recommendations on how to structure your race calendar to assist in your development. I believe in building a strong foundation and always meet you where you are and progress you from there. The schedule I create for you is flexible and adaptive. I make changes to your schedule based on how you are adapting to workouts and any additional changes that may be needed. As your coach, I will provide you with timely and appropriate education. I believe in educating you along the way, which makes training under me a wholistic experience. I provide feedback on workouts, the intention and paces, cadence/stride length, nutrition, fueling, race strategy, recovery and more. I provide daily warm-ups and drills to work on mobility, and muscle activation, and to develop speed and power. You will have reasonable unlimited communication with me via text, email, and phone. I am also an ACE Certified Personal Trainer. With this I offer additional strength/mobility work outside of what is included in your coaching experience. I offer strength training to my athletes virtually or in person (if local). Additional strength/mobility work outside of what is included in your coaching experience, is available in person (local residents) or virtually for an additional cost if needed.

In addition to everything you get under my Individual Run Coaching package, this package includes 2 performance training sessions per month. This can be a virtual and/or written workout. In these sessions you will perform strength and mobility work tailored specifically for your needs. The exercises in these sessions will be running-specific and focused on strengthening for faster, more controlled running, or on mobility to open up range of motion.

This package includes 4 performance training sessions per month. Sessions can be done virtually or in person if you are local to the Philadelphia area. In each training session you will perform strength and mobility work tailored specifically for your needs. The exercises in these sessions will be running-specific and focused on strengthening for faster, more controlled running, or on mobility to open up range of motion.
