Your A-Race Demands More Than a Standard Plan. It Demands a Coach.

For ultra-runners and endurance athletes who are ready to move beyond generic training and execute a race-day strategy with confidence.

The Mindset to Finish. The Strategy to Podium.

You've logged the miles and sacrificed your weekends. You know what it takes to finish, but you also know the fine line between pushing your limits and breaking down. We don't just give you a plan; we provide a holistic coaching approach that integrates strength, nutrition, and race-day logistics so you can not only finish your next ultra, but perform at your peak.

Stop guessing: Let data-driven training replace guesswork.

Prevent burnout: Optimize recovery to sustain peak performance.

Conquer the mental game: Build the resilience to overcome the low points.

Execute a Proven Path to Race-Day Success.

We simplify the complex process of ultra-training into three strategic pillars.

Step 1: The Performance Assessment. We analyze your background, training history, and race goals to establish your current performance baseline.

Step 2: The Adaptive Training Protocol. Receive a dynamic, data-driven training plan delivered through TrainingPeaks that adapts to your progress and your life.

Step 3: The Ongoing Support. Get direct access to your coach for real-time feedback, race strategy planning, and mental preparation.

Your Next Race Isn't Just a Distance. It's a Declaration.

Don't leave your performance to chance. Partner with a coach who is as committed to your goals as you are.

“Rick coached me through my first trail Ultra and helped me achieve a BQ on my first road marathon, all during some very challenging times in my life. His support and one-on-one approach helped immensely to overcome some of life’s hurdles to achieve my running goals. He is approachable, attentive, responsive, and tremendously supportive - all the best attributes in a personal coach. He celebrates the achievements of his athletes as much as (or more than?) he celebrates his own :) I would recommend him to anyone looking for a personal coach!”
