About Coach Rick
I work with endurance athletes who want to train smarter, eliminate guessing, and perform at their absolute ceiling on race day.
My coaching is grounded in engineering precision and advanced metabolic science. Beyond traditional endurance coaching, I am a co-owner of O2 Max, where we deliver world-renowned metabolic and autonomic nervous system analysis. By analyzing raw metabolic, respiratory, and heart-rate variability (HRV) data, I pinpoint an athlete’s true physiological bottlenecks—whether that is gas-exchange inefficiency, breathing pattern dysfunction, or nervous system strain.
Very few coaches in the world have access to or expertise in this level of physiological diagnostic data. I bring this world-leading analysis directly into my coaching, turning deep metabolic insights into adaptive, real-world training that delivers results.
My Background
I hold a Bachelor’s in Engineering and have been coaching endurance athletes since 2015 across running, triathlon, cycling, ski touring, and multi-day events.
My certifications include:
UESCA Ultra Running Coach
UESCA Triathlon Coach
NAASFP Marathon Running Coach
Expert Metabolic & Autonomic Nervous System Analyst (O2 Max)
How I Coach
Most athletes don’t fail to achieve their goals due to a lack of hard work—they struggle because their training doesn't account for what is actually happening inside their body. Standard static plans fail because they treat every athlete's physiology the same.
I bridge the gap between high-level physiological data and practical performance by:
Identifying True Limitations: Using advanced metabolic and nervous system profiling to uncover the exact physiological constraint holding you back.
Precision Adaptation: Adjusting your training week-to-week based on real physiological response and recovery, not rigid templates.
Building Resilient Engine & Execution: Structuring clear race-day execution strategies that match your body’s unique metabolic thresholds.
Athletes I’ve worked with have:
completed their first endurance events after previous setbacks
improved marathon and ultra performances
qualified for major races
trained consistently without recurring injury
Who I work with
I work with athletes training for marathons, ultra-marathons, triathlons, and multi-sport adventures who are ready to stop guessing and start training with physiological purpose.
Athletes I’ve coached have:
Overcome chronic plateaus by identifying and fixing hidden breathing and metabolic limits.
Completed their first ultra and multi-day endurance events after previous setbacks.
Achieved personal bests, qualified for major races, and earned podium finishes.
Maintained high-volume training consistently without burnout or recurring injury.
