Training Philosophy
Your life comes first
We build around what you actually have, not what an ideal athlete would have. If your plan makes you dread Tuesday, it's the wrong plan and we change it.
The basics beat the gadgets
Cold plunges, saunas, compression, the whole recovery industry — fine, none of it is what's missing. Rest days, sleep, real food, and listening when your body tells you something.
Built for the person you are
If you're a planner who needs to see race day from twelve weeks out, good — so am I, and we'll map it early. If you'd rather just see this week's runs and nothing else, also good.
Ramping slowly is the whole game
I got sick and injured training for my first marathon because I added mileage faster than my body could absorb it. Most first attempts don't fail on race day. They fail six weeks out.
