Training Style
I believe there are 5 basic tenets to training for distance running (Consistency, Capacity, Frequency, Mixture, Passion) and much of our success in the sport will depend on how well we balance these tenets together. While these 5 tenets are universal across all runners, the optimal balance between each and how each is best utilized depends on the individual and their background, personal situation and goals.
My goal and philosophy as a coach is to bring to the table a thorough understanding of each tenet, acquired over many decades of personal experience, tireless research and 1-to-1 coaching of hundreds of runners of all goals and abilities, in order to act as a Sherpa to help guide the runner to their goals, to help them understand what it will take, and then lead them step by step to get there.
Each athlete’s journey will be different, but with common threads, and in every case I strive to help make that journey as enriching as the final destination.
