Coaching

Elevate your journey with personalized trail and ultra marathon coaching! My coaching philosophy is all about personal growth and enjoyment! I prefer to train trail and ultra runners. If you are training for a BQ, then we may not be a good fit.

Whether you are a new or seasoned trail/ultra runner, I can help you!

We are NOW offering Mental Health Coaching too!

“I’ve been training with Steven towards my first 50K, and just completed my first EVER injury-free training cycle. It’s been great to have such a knowledgeable and experienced coach along the way. Steven is fully invested in his clients, and very easy to get along with. I look forward to doing bigger and harder things with him in my corner.”
— Ryan
“I’ve always struggled with staying consistent in strength training, and it’s led to injuries time and time again. But for the first time, I’m incorporating strength workouts alongside my running—and staying on track. I owe that to Steven!”
