Your Endurance, Reimagined.
We build athletes who are strong, resilient, and prepared to excel in any discipline—from the road to the trail.
The Pursuit of Sustainable Performance.
New Leaf Run Co. was born from a simple yet powerful idea: the key to lasting success in endurance sports lies in a holistic approach to training. Our founder, Rick Canning, discovered this firsthand on his own athletic journey. He learned that the most rewarding challenges and the greatest transformations happen when you move beyond generic training and embrace a methodology built on resilience, adaptability, and mental fortitude.
This philosophy is at the core of everything we do. It taught us that whether you're a runner, cyclist, or triathlete, your training should be a strategic partnership—one that respects your body, your goals, and your life.
Our Mission: Empowering the Committed Endurance Athlete.
Holistic Development
Our coaching extends beyond physical workouts to include race strategy, equipment, nutrition, and mindset.
We provide science-backed coaching to athletes of all abilities, with a specialized focus on the unique demands of endurance and ultra-endurance events. Our mission is to empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to build fitness, dial in your race strategy, and execute your best performance yet.
The Athlete-First Approach
We believe every athlete is unique. Our role is to provide a framework that fits your life, not the other way around.
Sustainable Progression
We prioritize training adaptations that happen over a long time, building your body and mind to withstand the high demands of your sport without leading to burnout or injury.
