His structure, responsiveness and adjustments to my training has definitely improved my running. Can’t say enough good things about working with Travis.
Jason has been with me through my whole training cycle this year. By now I would have been injured at least 2 times, but at 7 months in, I have yet to have an injury and I feel that I am in the best shape of my career in running. The focused weekly plans have been steady, progressive, and thoughtful. Jason’s insights in the field of ultrarunning have enabled me to get much more out of each week than I typically had been able to get with even higher volume. I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone interested in improving their performance in ultrarunning.

Anne Tisdell has contributed towards my successful Tahoe 200 mile trail run.
She gave me an outcome goal 2nd to finishing that I was able to achieve and be proud of the accomplishment.
She made a contract with me that helped anchor me during the event when I thought my chance of finishing was not realistic.
Her rescue training plan was life saving for my success in Tahoe 200.
Her final week taper plan was a living definition of Jason Koop’s textbook Training Essentails for Ultra Running. This was my first time to experience the benefits of such a well structured psychological and physical taper week.
Her guidance with my crew was unbelievable and again like I have never experienced.
Molly has been such an incredible coach. She is so thorough and detailed in both her planning and review of my performances. She is really encouraging, but it never feels like fluff– her encouragement is always based in pointing to the data of what I did, so it feels really genuine and helps me feel more confident. Since I started working with her, I’ve had performances I didn’t know I was capable of, throwing down fast times on really hilly routes because she helped me get better in tune with my body’s higher gears and better in tune with race nutritional strategies. I am really grateful for her help and looking forward to working with her more in the future!
Working with Adam is really helping me to be consistent and productive. No need to ponder what I will be doing next, just execute and trust the process.
Excellent Coach!
I’d like to give major kudos to Ryne for his help with prepping me for a number of trail races including a Mont Blanc trail running vacation! I started working with him 6 months ago and I’m more fit than I’ve been in years. When I first started trail running at age 53, I didn’t use a coach. I’d run myself into the ground or not train enough or correctly. Then at 58, I thought my athletic career was soon to be over. That was until I reached out to CTS and got hooked up with Ryne. He got me dialed in and has helped me improve tremendously! We’ve focused on endurance training and getting my body more durable for the ultras that I want to do. Additionally, his training has helped ignite a fire to keep me running and racing. He’s been super responsive with getting back information that I need and telling me what I don’t need. I can see now that with the help of a great coach like Ryne, I can continue to be competitive for many more years!
Coach Lavin has been great to work with. The program he developed has been demanding but within my personal abilities. It was easy to understand and if I had questions the responses were quick. The best part of the program was having the accountability knowing I had a coach expecting to see my run data and subjective feedback from me. In addition, the coach’s feedback on my workouts helped me better understand my performance.
Adam is awesome. He is incredibly supportive and understanding. I am always impressed by his wealth of knowledge and how he uses it to see the holistic picture of me as an athlete. I seriously couldn’t ask for a better coach!
Neal has pushed me to try new training methods I have not done before. Unfortunately a back injury has come up and he has been patient with me as I heal. He has listened to me and we have revised my goals/races for this Fall. I really like working with him.

I’ve been working with Nicole for a couple years now through Canyons and now enroute to CCC in August. Nicole has helped me through self driven training camps and a 3 day race at Mammoth Trailfest and Dipsea. Nicole holds a very fine line with me that I have come to appreciate. She doesn’t allow me to get down on myself (when times are tough in training and life) yet also holds the expectation, when appropriate, that I can do more and can push a little more here and there. It’s so delicate and yet she nails it and I more than appreciate it. I hope she gets to read this. Onward to CCC this summer! I’m building well, recovering well, and feeling some confidence already and am a long way out.

Corrine simply put has helped me realize gains in performance and personal goals that I would never have realized on my own. Her approach is a unique intersection of coaching science, discipline and fun mixed with the pragmatic reality that running is an important part of my life but not the only part. She is always accessible to answer questions, walk through race strategy or to help understand and incorporate feedback and thoughts on data from Training Peaks or personal thoughts and experience. Her approachable manner and deep experience both in running and competitive sports at the highest level brings a unique resource to the ‘everyday’ athlete. Her commitment to your success and satisfaction is tangible and importantly genuine. It is a unique opportunity to find that great intersection of the scientific coaching coupled with the experience of a high performance athlete who can meet you where you are and help you improve but also enjoy the journey along the way! I cannot give a strong enough endorsement and would recommend Corrine without reservation to anyone who has a serious desire to learn, improve and enjoy the process.
Jason has been a wonderful coach, He has helped me greatly improve my cycling skills and fitness. He is always prompt with his responses and is very knowledgeable. The routines and workouts he gives me are great.
Clayton is a patient teacher while excellent at challenging you to exceed your own expectations.
I am trying Reid’s patience with electronics. We really haven’t progressed past getting TP & Garmin working. Hoping I am past that.
I am working the plans Reid has sent.
I do travel a bit which has also been a challenge also.
Feeling some benefit. Not as such value as I thought possible. Again it’s dealing with electronic hop up w/TP. Spending vast majority trying to figure out what isn’t happening electronically. Again I think we have a path that is working….not really sure yet
It’s been a great experience so far. A completely different outline to my usually training and I’m noticing the benefits very early on. Bri has been a great coach, very analytical and explains the process really well so I understand why we are training this way and what benefits I will gain from it. I’m really excited to see what the next few months hold
For over 2 years we have made considerable progress in my focus, fitness and movement. It is a blessing to have him encourage me to take care of myself and to push myself. This year I had an accident that set me back but his consistency was contagious to keep me moving forward. Thankful for a great coach!
I have had the privilege of working with Jason since January 2011. I was training for Leadville, and given the race demands, I needed a structured training plan and an accountability partner to see me through the race and beyond. Working with Jason I completed the 2011 Leadville in 10 hours and then again in 2015 with a 9 1/2 hour result. Jason always has me race-ready and riding at my best with confidence and consistency, often when I was living abroad in Perth, Australia. Jason ensured he was always available for our coaching calls regardless time of day.
Jason is technically solid, but what I also like about him is his added value in providing timely advice on not only training and schedule issues, but also on equipment, nutrition and hydration products and approaches.
CTS is very lucky to have Jason as a valued member of the CTS Team. He adds value to his athletes in so many varied and important ways. I for one am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Jason over the last 10 years. A heartfelt Thank You Jason!
My coach has helped me immensely, I’m really enjoying working with him. He reviews my files, gives me feedback and provides quality advice for workouts. We have a call every 2 weeks and I really feel like he’s on my team. Couldn’t say enough good things about working with Ryne to-date.
