About Rod

Through my own experience, I understand the unspeakable value of partnering with a coach to achieve and surpass your goals. A running coach from Houston, TX launched me on a trajectory to a successful collegiate and professional running career more than twenty years ago. His support, straight-talk, and positivity has stayed with me to this day and had a hand in some of my greatest accomplishments - from being an 8-time All-American at Georgetown University to 5th in the US in 2006 at 5,000 meters (13:26). But for me, guiding and helping others succeed is more rewarding than any single individual accomplishment. Running is a team effort that requires trust and dedication between both coach and athlete. As a coach, I will help you train with purpose. I'll provide context to your training plan. You'll know why you are doing a specific type of run each day, so you can better understand how it applies to your races. Doing so will help you better listen to your body and feel prepared come race time. There is nothing more gratifying than witnessing an athlete achieve a goal that is months (even years) in the making, and I am just glad when I can play a part in that.
