Built for the Long Run
Whether you're chasing a PR or a body transformation — we build both. Personalized training, metabolic nutrition, and real coaching for runners who want more.
The Athlete Writes the Plan
Most coaches send you a plan and check in on Sunday.
Your week lands on your watch instead — every workout, every interval, every prescribed pace, pushed straight to your Garmin or Coros before you wake up. Running, strength and nutrition move as one system, whether you're chasing a PR, rebuilding your body composition, or both.
But I don't write your plan. You do.
Your fitness, your heart rate, your recovery, your fatigue, what you actually hit last week — that's what next week gets built from. I'm in it daily, reading the trends and moving your zones while there's still time for it to matter. And not just on the hard days. The recovery days tell me the most.
Most coaching ends when the plan is delivered. That's where mine starts.
“The workout tells me what you did.
Recovery tells me what to do next.”

01
I BUILD BACKWARD FROM RACE DAY
Pick the race, and the start date comes from it. A 12-week build and a 20-week build aren't the same block — yours gets built weekly for the time you actually have.
02
THE BLUEPRINT IS BUILT AROUND YOUR LIFE
Your schedule, your family, your gym access, your dietary restrictions — all of it before a single mile. Then you and I get on a call and we walk through week one together, so you start knowing why every session is there, not just what it is.
03
FUELING IS COACHED EITHER WAY
Both packages include a real fueling strategy — what to take in before, during and after a session, and how that changes on race day. The Full Build adds the body composition side: calories, macros and weekly energy balance, moving with your training load.
The Metabolic Running Approach
"What you eat matters. When you eat it changes everything."
"Every mile has a purpose and a pace. Nothing is junk mileage."
""Heavy lifting inside a marathon block doesn't work. That doesn't mean strength disappears."
Two ways in. Both make you a faster runner. The Full Build also changes your body composition — with the lifting and the nutrition that takes.

THE FULL BUILD
Everything in Race Ready, Plus:
Lifting programmed for body composition, not just running durability
Calorie and macro targets set per day — an easy day and a long run aren't the same number
Weekly energy balance: what you actually burned against what you actually ate
Your real metabolic rate, recalculated from your own data instead of a formula
Weight and body composition tracked as a trend, not a daily weigh-in
Race Ready
Individualized running block, built backward from race day
Running-focused strength built into your week
Programming delivered to your Garmin or Coros
Fueling strategy for training and race day
Race strategy, intra-fueling and taper planning
Daily coaching and weekly adjustments
ONE BLOCK OR ALL YEAR
Plenty of athletes come in for a single build, run their race, and that's exactly what they needed. Others stay on through the offseason — base, strength, and the best window you'll ever get for body composition, because there's no race to fuel for.
Coaching is month to month either way. Move between the two paths, or step away after your race, whenever it makes sense.
Why i Built this
I came to running through nutrition. Fueling was the part I understood first, and once I started building training blocks around it I couldn't leave it alone — writing my own fueling algorithms, structuring blocks, reading every coaching book I could get my hands on. I tested all of it on myself long before anyone was paying me to test it on them.
That's still what this is. Not a system I bought and applied to you — one I built, ran on myself, and rebuilt every time it was wrong.
What I didn't expect was how much I'd love the coaching part. I get fired up on workout days. I want to see what you hit, what it cost you, and what that tells me about next week. Learning how your body handles stimulus and what to do with that — week after week, season after season — is the actual job.
Fitness and health. Not one at the cost of the other.
