About Me:
I’m Coach Kason, an Army veteran and running coach based in Anchorage. I help runners of all levels build fitness safely and sustainably using simple, RPE-based training and a mentorship-first approach. My focus is clear communication, smart progress, and long-term consistency—especially for comebacks after injury, burnout, or long breaks.
How I can help you improve your game:
Beginners: build the habit + safe base (run/walk, easy effort, consistency)
Comebacks: rebuild durability first (RPE, conservative progression, injury-smart strength)
PR chasers: sharpen with structure (targeted workouts, pacing, recovery, race planning)
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session with me starts with a quick check-in on how you’re feeling, your goals, and what your body’s telling you. Then we go through a structured warm-up, a main workout matched to your current level, and a short block of strength/mobility to help you stay durable. We finish with a cooldown and a clear recap so you leave knowing exactly what to do next.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Running coach and mentor based in Anchorage with experience coaching youth athletes and leading teams in high-trust environments. Known for calm, clear instruction and a safety-first approach that builds consistency, confidence, and long-term athlete development. Brings structured session planning, strong communication with athletes and parents, and a mentorship-driven coaching style.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS (Private Track Coach) • Coached elementary cross country and track & field, supporting skill development, confidence, and positive team culture. • Delivered 1:1 and small-group running coaching through RunVetRun-AK, focusing on smart, sustainable progress and athlete consistency. • Led training and lessons for teams in military and school settings, translating complex skills into clear, actionable cues. • Managed and mentored teams in leadership roles, reinforcing accountability, professionalism, and steady performance under pressure. • Built structured practice sessions with warm-up, technique focus, main set, cooldown, and simple next-step guidance. • Communicated effectively with athletes and families to set expectations, reinforce habits, and support long-term development.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Jim Seckel was the best coach I ever had—he pushed me to my limits and taught me what real standards look like. I carry that same “challenge with purpose” mindset into how I coach today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m coachable, I respond well to high standards, and I want to be pushed with clear expectations. I’ll bring consistent effort, communicate early if something’s off, and I care a lot about doing things the right way—not cutting corners.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?

It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
