The Long Run Coaching

The Long Run Coaching is located in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. Coaching philosophy - My approach is developmental, response regulated and highly individualized. Improvement and personal satisfaction are found in developing consistent, productive habits over time. Training with your goals in mind while working on your personal weaknesses and capit... alizing on your strengths is crucial for each of us to reach our goals. Mission statement - In running we each set our own goals. We come to running with different backgrounds, different strengths and weaknesses, different demands on our minds, bodies, and time.

We will set realistic goals and map out a training plan tailored to your goals and your schedule. My aim is "real life" coaching; balancing all the important things in life while achieving personal satisfaction and excellence. Athletes need to enjoy their training.
