Structured, data-driven, and built to adapt as you progress.From beginners to experienced runners, I create plans that meet you where you are — and help you move forward, one step at a time.What to expect:• A plan tailored to your fitness level, goals, and race calendar• Smart use of data to track progress and adjust workload• Guidance on pacing, gear, fueling, and mindset• Real communication — not just a file you download• Miss a run? Busy week? We adjust. No stress, no guilt. Progress is built over time, not in a straight line.I follow the Lydiard® method and use VDOT to adapt training pace and structure.
Every phase has a purpose — and it always starts with you.
