Coaching Philosophy
I coach runners who care
The ones who are curious, intentional, and all-in on the process. Maybe you nerd out over elevation charts, fueling plans, or zone 2 heart rate debates. Maybe you're chasing something bold—or just want to understand your body, your goals, and your grit a little better. If you ask why and how as much as how far or how fast, we’ll get along just fine.
What You Can Expect from Brave Running Coaching
I believe runners deserve personalized, thoughtful coaching—and real access to their coach. That means attention to detail, responsiveness, and a training plan built around you.
A successful plan goes beyond weekly mileage. Together, we’ll consider how your training fits into the rest of your life—looking at things like recovery, nutrition habits, strength and mobility work, and overall wellbeing. We’ll adjust as needed to keep your plan realistic, sustainable, and supportive of both your goals and your day-to-day life. Mindset, motivation, and race-day preparation are all part of the conversation too.
We’ll start by talking through your goals, your background, and your life outside of running. From there, I’ll create a big-picture training plan leading up to your goal race and deliver weekly workouts with mileage, paces, run types, cross-training, and rest days tailored to you.
In return, I ask for communication and thoughtful feedback. My athletes share how their workouts feel—what’s clicking, what’s hard, what needs adjusting. I review your training notes and data (Garmin, Strava, etc.), look at the bigger picture, and adjust the plan to keep it serving you.
Some athletes check in often with questions and insights. Others prefer a quieter rhythm. I support both styles. When race day nears, I’ll help with pacing, fueling, and logistics. And if you hit a snag—injury, nutrition, burnout—I’ll connect you with trusted resources to get back on track.
Most of all, I ask you to be curious. To reflect on what you want from running and how you want to grow. Because at some point, running gets hard. All meaningful things do. And when that happens, I want to know who I’m coaching—and what matters most to you.
Why Brave Running?
I’m not the right coach for everyone—and that’s fine!
Brave Running is for people who care. People who want to understand the why behind their training, who get curious about carb counts and course profiles, who zoom in on the details and zoom out on the big picture. I coach runners who want to think, learn, grow, and get a little nerdy along the way.
But I also believe in flexibility. Life is wild, and
sometimes the best thing you can do is roll with it. Some days we follow the plan; some days we meet ourselves where we are. That’s not a failure—that’s part of the process.
Running is beautiful like that. Every time you show up—on the road, on the trail, wherever you are—you’re making progress. You’re recommitting to something that matters. And whether that something is a time goal, a finish line, or simply the joy of forward motion, I’m here to help you chase it with intention, grit, and heart.
