Training Theory & Coaching
You waited for the moment
I opened my heart
To tear it apart
You waited for the second of weakness
To turn long-term
Into briefness.
You had gone sleepless.
In our unstable ship,
Floating below the current,
Over the tide
Always above water,
But never
Side by side.
Maybe things will change
When I have the last laugh
When you feel deranged
Lost, without a half.
Maybe next time
You go sleepless.

I work with runners of all abilities, helping them take their potential to the next level, while enjoying their time on the trails (or roads!) in the process.
I come from a decade of coaching experience, and two decades of running experience at the high-end of the sport. I’m a part-time professional trail runner for XACT Nutrition, competing in the top 1% globally.
I work with athletes to help them put the entire puzzle together, from nutrition to injury prevention to training and racing, whilst building a plan that fits their schedule and life demands.
This includes…
✅ An adaptive training plan based on what actually happens in your life and your specific needs.
✅ Feedback and open dialogue on every single training run and race.
✅ All-in-one strength, mobility and run coaching.
✅ Expert insights and advice into nutrition, recovery, and racing, for all levels.
I currently have space for road, trail and ultra runners working toward their goals — whether you’re a busy mom, a part-time professional, or brand new to the sport. Contact me today to get started!
