Coach Neal is a game changer

I have not worked with a running coach before and was training for the Leadville 50. I was connected to Neal who has finished both the 50 and 100 multiple times. He was a wealth of knowledge about the technical challenges of the course and incredibly helpful in managing my training plan. Neal even ran the 50 with me which was a blast. I was originally following a training plan I found online and doing far too much volume. I started to get tendinitis before talking to Neal who dialed back my plan and helped me easily finish the 50 several hours faster than my goal. He is also one of the nicest and supportive coaches I have ever met. No matter how bad my training week was, I always feel fired up and confident after talking to Neal.
