Adam Ferdinandson
CTS Senior Level Coach – Specializes In Ultrarunning Coaching
“What’s my training philosophy? Preparing you for the events you care about. Period.
Training is never quite that simple but it is my guiding principle that everything I do can be traced back to. Along the way, I craft a relationship with each athlete and guide them to a training style that they will truly enjoy. We compete in endurance sports because it adds value to our life, I am here to help you love your life.”
Coach Bio:
I found running at 12 years old in Redding, California where I became fascinated with traveling as far on my feet as possible while falling in love with baking in the sun on the trail and returning home exhausted. Throughout high school I participated in cross country and track, always choosing the longest distances possible. In my adult life, I quickly found ultrarunning and knew it was what I had been looking for. Today, I train with the same passion I’ve had since the beginning and am always wondering how much further I could go.
My professional life began in Land Surveying where I learned how to carefully evaluate data and communicate effectively. I started coaching runners and ultrarunners in 2021 and found it to be a rewarding process as I was emotionally invested in my athletes’ successes and setbacks. I joined CTS to put all of my time and effort towards coaching and providing my athletes with the best guidance possible. I have an endless curiosity for figuring out what training works best and why. I am dedicated to the art of applying that knowledge to real-world athletes living busy lives.
