  • Coaching is delivered through TrainingPeaks, where you’ll receive personalized weekly training plans, detailed workout guidance, and ongoing feedback. Every program is tailored to your goals, experience, schedule, and fitness level. You’ll know exactly what to do each day, with clear structure, purpose, and easy-to-follow tracking inside the platform.

  • I coach both. Beginners benefit from structured guidance and injury-prevention foundations, while advanced runners get targeted programming, advanced workouts, and race-specific planning for everything from 5K trail races to 100-mile ultras.

  • My coaching philosophy is shaped by years of training and studying in Ethiopia, where running is rooted in rhythm, patience, and consistency. I combine this with modern performance science to create sustainable, smart training that builds long-term strength, confidence, and resilience.

  • You’ll have consistent communication through the coaching platform, plus the option for messaging or calls depending on your plan. I’m hands-on and responsive — you’ll always have support, feedback, and clear direction as you move through each phase of training.

  • Absolutely. Whether it’s a local trail race, a mountain ultra, a multi-day event, or your first 50K, I build your program around your race profile, terrain, elevation, and timeline. Your training becomes precise, purposeful, and race-ready.

  • If you want structure, accountability, expert guidance, and a plan designed specifically for you — coaching will help you progress faster and more confidently. Most runners come to me because they want to train smarter, avoid injury, and reach a level they haven’t been able to hit on their own.
