About Me:

I’m a former Elite distance runner with a passion for helping athletes feel strong, confident, and excited about training. I’ve spent 20+ years coaching all ages in running form, speed, agility, strength, and athletic mindset. I make training fun, positive, and encouraging while still teaching proper mechanics and safe progression. With 15 years in sports nutrition plus additional background in triathlon, Muay Thai, and equestrian sport, I help athletes build great habits, body awareness, and the confidence of a true champion.

How I can help you improve your game:

Learn/practice proper running form & stride mechanics

Acceleration, speed, and agility work

Strength training for power, stability & injury prevention

Conditioning and sport-specific endurance

Proper Nutrition strategies for sports and everyday living

Expert supplementation guidance as needed

Mindset, confidence building & athletic discipline

Goal setting and structured progression

What a typical training session looks like with me:

Training with me blends elite-level mechanics with a supportive, high-energy coaching style. Sessions begin with an intentional warmup focused on mobility, neuromuscular activation, and movement pattern prep. We then work through mechanics, drills, stride efficiency, and age-appropriate strength development. I provide constant technique feedback, clear coaching cues, progress tracking, and helpful explanations so athletes understand why each drill matters. Sessions end with confidence-building wins and take-home habits. Athletes leave feeling stronger, faster, and proud of what they accomplished.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.

Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.

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.
