Sarah is very easy to talk and work with. We’ve had regular conversations regarding my training and progress. She’s worked with me to adjust my schedule when life threw curve balls.

I chose to work with for a number of reasons. Communication was one. One of the other reasons was her experience with strength building. When we began working together I had painfully tight hamstrings. Her workouts help complexly eliminate this issue.

Her training protocols, strength training and communication helped me further develop my confidence, and performance leading up to my A race, leadville 100 run.

Addison’s coaching is a game-changer. Over two seasons, he’s fueled my progress from 20k to 100k races. His holistic support covers training, fueling, gear, and race prep, all backed by invaluable feedback. Our weekly catch-ups optimize strategies, nutrition, and gear adjustments – a race-prep lifeline. Thanks to Addison, I’ve conquered longer distances, elevated results, and savored training and racing like never before. Highly recommended.

I cannot sing enough praises for Ryne! I had minor experience with trail running and wanted to try an ultramarathon. I knew I could not complete the training alone. I was extremely fortunate to meet Ryne. Right away, he was receptive to my prior experiences and future goals. With a tailored program, Ryne prepared me for my first 50K, which I completed! And then my second 50K!

I threw a curveball, expressing my motivation for open-water swimming! Utilizing his expertise in endurance physiology, Ryne coached me for my first open-water 10Km marathon swim.
Ryne is a true master of his craft, having years of experience as an endurance coach. But what really sets him apart his is qualities as a person and mentor. Obviously one size does not fit all in ultramarathon/endurance training. Ryne will take the time to get to know you, understand the challenges facing your training, and work with you to tailor your training program accordingly. He is accessible, and available when unforeseen challenges arise.

Ryne will view you as an individual with unique dreams. Given the desire and commitment, he will help you reach your goals and unlock your full potential as an endurance athlete.

I am very happy with my decision to work with Ryne. He has created a training block for me that has me feeling fit, confident and–most important–injury free! Ryne has done a fantastic job communicating with me and explaining my training and then adjusting my training based on how I have handled the miles as well as my feedback and my schedule. I could not be happier with how things are going and I am very excited to test my fitness at the MMT 100 in a few weeks!

I’ve been working with Addison for over two years, and he’s been instrumental in my success across various races, including the Doi Inthanon by UTMB 100 miler and the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc 100 miler. Addison’s personalized approach, deep knowledge of the sport, and unwavering support have helped me reach new heights in my training and racing. His guidance has not only improved my performance but has also made me a more resilient and confident athlete. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

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.

I really enjoy working with Frederic. He employs a databased strategy but is also sensitive to my needs as an individual. He’s very responsive both on chat and when we do virtual meetings. He’s very thorough, always commenting on my workouts. And often checking in to make sure that things are going well. Couldn’t be happier

The amount of fitness I’ve gained since I started working with Koop vs. programming for myself (and putting a lot into it) is almost comical. In my mind/experience, he is unequivocally the best.

Working with Coach Fitz has opened my eyes to the benefits of customizing and adapting training that is specific to my needs. While I am focused on ultra running, he is also able to prescribe training across other modalities to combine everything into a single plan with the ultimate end goal of making me a better athlete. I’ve had bad experiences in the past with coaches prescribing standard training (i.e. threshold, intervals, long run in a week) that I can accomplish on my own through any training book or website. In addition to the effective training, Coach Fitz thinks about the “other” factors that make preparing for ultra distance races unique (nutrition, temperature, terrain, etc.). We’re just getting started on this journey, but I’m stoked to see how much progress is made after stacking multiple training blocks together.

I simply don’t write reviews for anything… Andy is the rare exception.

Working with Andy has truly been a life altering experience. Having been a runner and cyclist throughout my youth and into college and graduate school, the majority of my 30s were spent doing a whole lot of nothing athletically. By the time my 40s hit, I was completely out of shape, overweight, and on a path of potential long term health problems. About two years ago, I decided to make dramatic lifestyle changes with the primary goal of restoring a healthy balance to my life, but also to begin competing again in the endurance sports that I loved in my youth.

I first became aware of Andy and his coaching ability while racing bikes in graduate school many years ago– Andy coached a couple of athletes I knew well, and they always seemed to be winning races and doing amazing things.

Even though I was a middle-aged, out of shape guy with no real athletic accomplishments since the late 1990s, Andy took me on and began working with me to outline a series of goals and a plan to accomplish them.

Andy is an exceptionally knowledgeable coach — both on the bike and in endurance running. I continue to learn a tremendous amount from him. He is very patient, easy going and has an amazing ability to handle what I have viewed as setbacks (injury, illness, work/life/travel, etc) as no big deal. I’m continually impressed with how he tailors and adapts my workout schedules to meet my insanely busy schedule.

About a year ago, I told Andy I wanted to not only run my first competitive marathon (I’ve run the distance as part of ultras in the past but never raced it), and wanted to do so in a Boston Qualifying time. Most people who know me thought I was entirely detached from reality… not Andy. He let me know that it was certainly a do-able goal, but would require a lot of hard work and some luck (no injuries, etc.). Sign me up!

Andy has been an instrumental and vital partner in helping me train and accomplish all these goals. I got my BQ (by 3+ minutes), broke a 20+ year old PR in the half marathon (by 6 minutes), and set all-time PRs in every distance from 10K to the Marathon. I am in the best shape of my life — both running and on the bike. Had anyone told me two years ago that I would have accomplished all this, I would’ve laughed. Andy deserves way more credit than I can write in a review.

Many thanks and cheers!

– setting a tailored plan to my needs and scheduling
– setting a plan that positions me for success
– being responsive and clear on his feedback

I’ll preface this review with the fact that I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a Bachelors’ Degree in Exercise Science. I’m a trail/ultra coach myself and was looking for a coach who could truly challenge me physically and was someone I could learn from to better my own coaching. Corrine is the cream of the crop. I super appreciated her respect for the science, but also has tremendous experience to draw from. I DNF’d the Run Rabbit Run 100 back in 2016 and finally decided to give it another go. I hired Corrine to make absolutely sure that I could complete my goal, and in a way that I felt proud of. But I’m a busy dad who runs a business… Corrine was easy to work with and respected my schedule and life obligations. I highly recommend working with CTS and especially Corrine. They’re doing it right. The bar for entry to be a coach these days is LOW, and at CTS they make sure you’ll have a solid coach who can get you where you want to be!

I didn’t know what to expect as this is my first time working with a professional personal coach. Sarah’s experience and adventuress attitude has been so helpful while I have been preparing for my first 100 miles distance while running a 24 hour race. I have 6 weeks to go and she has me training long and hard, while listening to me and checking my stats to make sure I don’t push to hard, get burnt-out (as I have before self coaching) or get injured before my big challenge. I am so glad I made the decision to use CTS and work with Sarah.

Sarah has been wonderful to have as a coach! From the very beginning she has taken the time to understand my needs and limitations and she put together a training plan to fit into my busy schedule. She is always quick to respond to emails/texts and I appreciate the timely feedback on my runs to keep me on track. I’ve made significant gains in my running and I feel stronger and healthier than ever!

Addison is a fantastic coach, and I would jump at the chance to work with him again! He helped me go from “barely running” to finishing a 100-miler in a matter of months. Addison is highly knowledgeable, and I could not have gotten this far without his help and advice. Being on a budget, I was apprehensive about the cost at first, but this coaching was worth every cent! If you’re training for an ultra, I highly, highly, highly recommend Addison as your coach.

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!

Working with Corrine has helped me to have a more balanced and healthful approach to running and goal-setting. She understands my emotions after both good and bad performances and helps me manage them to set healthy goals to work toward next. I’ve done some of the best long runs and workouts of my life with Corrine’s guidance and she has kept me honest about recovery and periodicity, which has kept me completely healthy!

She’s also very easy to communicate with and I enjoy using TrainingPeaks to plan/track my training.

Patrick helped me ease back into running postpartum and train for a trail marathon. I’m beyond grateful for his approach, his flexibility with my family/work schedules, the thoughtfulness he puts into the training plans and weekly comms, and his extensive knowledge of training, recovery, and injury prevention. He listened to my body’s needs, especially being postpartum, and built a training plan that included specific strength exercises, along with a running plan to built mileage and incorporated speed work and hills. He pushed me, was genuine in all our interactions, and cheered me along the whole way. Couldn’t recommend him more. THANK YOU PATRICK!

Helping structure my workouts and educating me on nutrition. I also appreciate that she has taken the time to get to know me which I think helps with my overall training. Looking forward to continuing with Nicole.

It has been interesting so far, building the coach/athlete relationship. It is all new for me. While I committed to listening and learning before I started, part of me pushes back on certain aspects of the training that are so very different from what I have been doing up until this point (and doing relatively well). I wanted to get better faster and be able to do all of this for as long as possible. I cannot tell you how much I have learned from Fitzy. The more we communicate the more the relationship is being understood, on my end at least. Recovery and the importance of it has been the biggest learning situation so far, but the different training blocks are also exciting and new to me. Can’t wait to see where it goes.

Duncan is very much in tune with my and my training circumstances, I am working through some injuries, Duncan considers the big picture and makes necessary adjustments, looking forward to getting this LT100 done!!

I don’t think there is a coach that could be working better with me, with my challenges.

I give him a 5 star rating…

I’ve spent a lot of time training and have run 100 marathons and ultras but haven’t used a coach. I wanted some help to improve my races and lessen the tough times in these races. After a couple of months I can see the improvement. The big races are coming up and I’m really looking forward to see what I can do.

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!

I just finished the 120 miles of TransRockies in Colorado. My coach Sarah Scozzaro has been wonderful in my preparation for the 6 day event. I went into TRR feeling confident and completed the miles without any issues. She is always helpful and encouraging! Thank you so much Coach Scozzaro!

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.

Andy is the perfect coach for the event that I am training for. His experience working with older Athletes
like myself and understanding our limits has brought me along at a pace that keeps me motivated and excited
about the progress I have made. his coaching has taught me to be more disciplined in my training which is something
i have always been weak at. I look forward to working with him for the next few months and completing the Arrowhead
135 winter ultra marathon at the end of January.

Adam. What an amazing coach.

After having attempted my first 100 mile before Adam, I decided I wanted to take it serious and go at it again.
Instantly when I met Adam, he was very welcoming and on board in helping me reach my goals. I trained for 3 different ultras with Adam as my coach and the word I will say is, its like family. He was always checking in, having engaging conversations; it is like I was talking to my older brother all the while having the professional guidance and accountability as a coach.

I highly recommend Adam as any distance of an Ultra coach. He always considers all of the variables and angles of attack to the race. He always added a fresh perspective to my races that I did not consider.

Thank you for an amazing experience and for being an amazing coach.
You are awesome Adam.

Ryan

I am very happy to be working with Corrine. She has helped me integrate interval workouts into my training in a way that helps me prevent injuries, which was always a problem when I tried on my own. She has also helped me understand and appreciate the importance of rest days; I can really feel the benefit when I run after a rest day as my legs feel much fresher.

I also feel less beat up after races. My times have not improved overall but I feel stronger and am climbing better. I do believe I will start to see improvement in finishing times as this year progresses, but if not, that is fine, my goal at this point is to continue running and racing for as long as I can.

Thanks Corrine and CTS!

Larry

It’s an honor and a privilege to work with someone of Andy Jones-Wilkin’s stature. He has been around ultrarunning for a long time, has finished at the very front of the pack at some of the most prestigious ultras but enjoys the back-of-the-packers just as much. He’s kind, humble, sincere and a great advocate for the sport. He’s quick to laugh and I love a coach (or anyone) with a good sense of humor. AJW is good for the sport. His love of the sport is infectious and that helped encourage me to reach for greater challenges like the 50-miler and soon 100-miler. He’s quick to respond, and make adjustments when life gets in the way. The training he provided me as well as the personal communication helped me to run my first 50-miler with no issues. I I had a great day and was amazed that the training helped prepare me to actually run almost the entire 50-miles. I’ve run all my life but that was a revelation. It made me feel like anything was possible!

Adam helped me prepare for my first 50K and gave me the tools to coach myself for my first fifty mile race. He is very dedicated to learning more about ultrarunning and his athletes.

learning every single day, i do think the personal approach is the biggest plus at CTS.
coach Stephanie is excellent for daily communication, finetuning every week
and other stuff as nutrition and while discussing the progress and adapting to stress levels
i really like to know the why as it keeps my motivation levels high.
getting coached helps me daily to focus on proper execution only, and loosing less energy on self coaching, so more time for mental recovery

Adam is everything one could hope for in a coach. As a working professional with just-for-fun-and-fitness running goals, I’d say Adam nailed the experience for me and he goes above and beyond my expectations. Adam is incredibly personable, knowledgeable, patient and immensely attentive. He is quick to comment on my workouts, and when we chat by phone he is attentive and makes me feel like I’m his only athlete. He is equally capable of high-level discussions as well as getting granular to answer specific nutrition or physiology questions. I would say that among Adam’s most impressive skills is his flexibility and ability to meet his athlete exactly where they are. In my case, that was all over the place. Adam patiently guided me along while my dog and I trained for a marathon, and happily pivoted when I changed to the half marathon because I “just wanted to run for fun”. And rather than becoming impatient or rolling his eyes when I slowed down my pace to look for salamanders under logs, he instead applauded my desire to enjoy the workouts even if that meant stopping and smelling the flowers along the way. As I told Adam, he has never once made me feel like I in any way failed him as an athlete; just the opposite. He is full of praise and patience and competence and awesomeness. Thanks for being my coach, Adam!

Last year working solo I managed to pull off two separate DNFs, first at Antelope Canyon 100 and then at San Diego 100. Poor planning, poor adaptation, poor nutrition.

I decided to turn things around with a coach. First coach I found raised all the red flags you hear about on the KoopCast – excel sheet, generic comments, even other athletes names in the feedback I got.

I switched over to CTS and started working with Travis last fall. He put me through the ringer with speedwork and a killer training camp. High mileage but smart mileage. Nutrition and session feedback down to a tee.

I walked up to the starting line of Rocky Raccoon 100 with zero aches, and despite rain, thunder, and mud, the day just cruised by. Out of 440 starters, only 165 finished this year – the lowest year on record. I somehow pulled off 29th and sub-24. It was hard work, but genuinely the credit goes to Travis’s programming and guidance to getting there. Looking forward to now setting more PRs with him in the future!

Before training with Ryne I didn’t have an ultra coach. I trained by talking to other runners, reading, and listening to my body. After each race, I knew there must be another level that I’d never achieve without a coach. Ryne was an amazing coach who put together well designed runs, gave valuable feedback, and designed a plan to help me beat my goal.

Here is some more info written by my wife:

“I figured I better post an update! Not only did he finish, he killed the Rocky Raccoon 100 Mile Trail Race this year. He beat his first year by OVER AN HOUR. Derek finished his first Rocky in 22 hours. This year he finished in 20 hours 50 minutes. He beat his last finish by an hour and 10 minutes. The first year he finished he was exhausted and completely worn out, barely making it to the finish line after starting the race too fast. This year he was prepared and had a plan. Not a single person passed him for the last two laps (that’s 40 miles) and he passed person after person. This year he finished strong and he felt strong.”

I am so glad my running buddy sent me to CTS, and even happier I was paired with coach Andy Jones-Wilkins. I learned a ton from him about keeping it simple, staying out of my head, structuring a periodized training cycle, and dealing with illness/injury during a build-up to a goal race. I gained more fitness in 6 months of coaching than I ever had over the previous 3 years of ultrarunning on my own. Results aside, AJW makes his athletes feel like they’re the center of attention. I always felt heard, scheduling a call was never difficult, and no question was stupid. He’s also a really funny guy so our calls were always something I looked forward to. I strongly recommend both coach AJW and CTS!

Helped me focus on metrics, BPM, SPM, etc.

This year has been one of the best of my life, and Fred played a huge role in that. I came to him with ambitious goals: running UTMB alongside completing a half and full Ironman. Together, we tackled every challenge and exceeded expectations. As a coach myself, I’ve gained invaluable insights from Fred’s technical expertise. His ability to analyze data and integrate it effectively into training was incredible. But beyond the technicalities, our connection as humans made the experience truly special. Our conversations often centered on life rather than training, which I deeply appreciated.

Fred’s programming gave me confidence, and my results speak for themselves. In my half Ironman, I shaved 8 minutes off my half marathon personal best—after a 2km swim and 90km bike ride. My full Ironman was equally unforgettable. Most importantly, I completed UTMB, a feat that felt monumental. Fred’s approach balanced trail running with cross-training, which undoubtedly shaped my journey differently, but for the better.

This year wasn’t just about athletic achievements; it was about personal growth. Fred’s guidance created a space for me to evolve in many ways, and for that, I am profoundly grateful.

So far, things have been a bit slow due to an injury but I am expecting them to start picking up soon.

Patrick has been great throughout this injury. When I first signed up I was thinking it was something minor we can get through then focus on improving fitness. It turned out to be a more serious injury that I am finally starting to come out of. During this process, Patrick has helped me stay active within the constraints of my injury. This also included leveraging his PT expertise to help me with my rehab.

Now that I am starting to get into the position of being able to run again, I am looking forward to Patrick helping me meet and exceed my goals.

In short, working with Duncan has been fantastic. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, given Duncan is the first coach that I’ve had. However, having worked with Duncan for a bit over a year and a half, I couldn’t be happier. His focus on developing a training plan that balances both my competitive aspirations and life-balance is great. His knowledge and ability to discuss a wide range of training / racing / life topics always provides the right perspective when needed. His flexibility with our meeting / communication is great. Love the variability of how he structures trainings. And beyond all that, he’s just a great down to earth guy who I happy to have a good relationship with.

And if that all wasn’t enough, I had a very specific competitive stretch goal for myself the first day I began working with Duncan, which was to win the Kettle Moraine 100 miler. This was accomplished this past June and I wouldn’t have been able to do that, or the other lead-up milestones without Duncan’s partnership.

Best,
Mike

Adam met me exactly where I was in my journey to becoming an Ultra athlete! My schedule was pretty restrictive, but he worked with me to make a massive jump from having run only 1 official marathon to running 100 miles! 11/10 would recommend Adam to anyone looking to level up their running.

AJW keeps a close eye on my training and guides me to achieve my goals. It is a pleasure to work with someone like him.

She has been pushing me – just the right amount. Is conscious of my weakness(es). She gives thoughtful feedback and makes me feel like she is genuinely interested in my training.

I was coming back from an 18-month long injury, and wanted to add strength training to my workouts in order to be a more durable ultrarunning athlete moving forward. She built a great program for me that got me to my A goal safely and stronger than ever. We had a wonderful chat about my running history (and any injuries) and she incorporated directives from physical therapy. She’s also a fantastic communicator and was super flexible when I had to adjust my schedule last minute due to work or family issues. I’ve worked with other coaches before, so it’s not my first rodeo, and I absolutely loved everything she brought to the coaching relationship! I can’t wait to work towards other goals with her in the future!

I’m very lucky to have Sarah as my coach. She is very knowledgeable, always available for any question or to adjust my training if anything happens and she is such a positive and kind person. Her training has helped me get faster in my running and her strength training has hugely helped me get rid of some annoying muscle pain. I just love her!

In many ways:
Building up to my first 50 miler
Building to my first 50 KM
Many consultations
Great feedback
Awesome and creative programs

I have nothing but positive things to say about coaching with Andy. From January to May my training with my previous coach had been flat. Too much volume, no intensity. Fitness CTL was stalled. Since the switch to CTS and training with Andy my CTL fitness has greatly increased. The big surprise is that we were able to get these gains despite a major knee injury. Andy has been diligent in working around my busy work/family life as well as my injuries. I was super nervous going into Bigfoot 200 but as it turns out I need to trust more in my training. Given the injuries, my goal was to finish and not make things worse. Not only did I do that, I think I may be more fit than I was going into the race. This week will tell, but I am fully trusting my training at this point.

Coach Sarah has tremendously helped me improve my fitness and running. She is amazing to work with and focuses on her athletes and not just the next progression in the training block. 100% give this woman a raise lol!

Stephanie is such a great coach. She is always encouraging and motivating. We’ve dealt with a bit of injury as my body adapts to higher mileages, but we’ve evolved the training plans to be smarter about how I handle loads and how to get the most out of my training. Stephanie really listens to my feedback and tailors training based on her knowledge, coupled with my feedback.

Stephanie is also super responsive, even responding to questions and concerns over weekends very regularly. She always makes herself available to talk through issues and is always genuinely happy for me when things go well and we’re making progress.

I feel very supported and lucky to have her as my coach.

I’ve been working with Sarah for 8 months and couldn’t be happier with every aspect. While I don’t need constant communication, I value our regular check-ins and appreciate that Sarah is paying attention to all the comments I add, even my most trivial commentary I add to Training Peaks. This year has by far been my most consistent running year and I 100% attribute that to Sarah’s coaching. I’ve previously struggled with building my volume appropriately and therefore experienced many load injuries but this year (touch wood as it’s not over) since working with Sarah, I haven’t experienced any and feel my body is significantly more resilient. I know we’ve only just scratched the surface, too! With my previous coach I doubted my ability to simply withstand the physical toll on my body from endurance running as I had experienced many stress injuries. Now I don’t question that at all. That’s not because Sarah’s told me I can do it, that’s because she’s provided me the framework and support to see the transformation in myself and build a body (and mind) that CAN do it!

So far Neal has helped me focus on what matters most in this time of the year (adding intensity and holding back on overall volume to avoid risk of injury).

Adam has been just what I have needed, and I wish I had started years ago with him. He provides constant and constructive feedback while creating a plan that is tailored to my specific goals of competing in Ultra Marathons. Adam holds me accountable and encourages me along the way and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

I talked to Koop for prob less than 30 min in May. Then same in June.
Little if any commentary on my work outs via TP
I was hurt and instead of running I did have to walk some 2 and 3 hr work outs. It was not noticed at all when it was updated in TP. ie I knew it was not being tracked nor watched.
I paid for ultimate coaching and unfortunately feel like I got little to nothing over 3 months.
I am 7-8 weeks out from a 125k ultra. Feel this put me back and now I am changing coaches in hopes of doing my ultra.
I appreciate the coach was out on PCT but he and/or CTS should have addresses this

Addison helped me prepare off an injury to run a solid, faster than expected, road marathon in minimal training time! He takes the time to understand my fitness progression both in strength workouts as well as the running plan. He’s also helping me to a smooth transition into trail training while still working to keep injuries from cropping back up! Highly recommend! I was paying similar costs to other coaching services and now feel like I’m finally getting my money’s worth!

My coach Addison Smith has been fantastic, 10/10, 5 stars! He has helped me immensely and the race at the end of this month will be great because of his coaching.

Patrick got me to the start and finish line of another tough 100 miler healthy and strong! He understands the distance. This is the second 100 miler I have completed with Patrick as a coach. He takes into consideration my busy work schedule. Maximizing the workouts for the time I do have to train. He has been accessible, responsive and quick to adjust the schedule if needed ( and keeps training fun!). Patrick is everything I have been looking for in a coach!

He helped me a lot.
First of all, he made me realize the importance of scientific training.
Secondly, he helped me understand how to become a qualified athlete. Before I met Jason, I didn’t know that many drugs contain stimulants, and athletes are not allowed to touch these drugs. In this regard, he helped me shape the correct values ​​and cognitive concepts.
The most important thing is that he can help me grow faster as an athlete.

Working with Addison was no doubt the greatest thing I’ve done to help build my base as an ultra runner! I began with wanting to understand proper race fueling and training structure approach– including weight training and running workout types– and I definitely have learned so much from Addison in these aspects. Also– Addison was amazing at adjusting my training schedule for my upcoming race since I was worried that my travel schedule would make it tough to get the necessary training in! Addison worked hard to understand my goals and my life circumstances to keep me on track. Working with Addison gave me so much confidence I can’t wait to continue working with him for my upcoming races!

Got through my first 50k and building up for my first 50 miler. He is supporting me along the way with awesome coaching that is making me better.

It has helped professionalized my trainning habits and to improve my running performance. Specially Trial Running.

Frederic is awesome!

The only think that I would say is that sometimes is not very clear what is the best way to follow up or keep in touch regarding training sessions.

Working with Coach Fitz has been a fantastic experience and I’ve definitely seen improvements in my running, racing and fitness in the 6 months he has been my coach. The knowledge he has on the sport and training that he has relayed to me on our coaching calls is invaluable. I look forward to working with him for a long time and seeing what is possible with my Ultrarunning career. I would highly recommend Coach Fitz to any Ultrarunner who wants to push their running to new levels and discover what good training and good coaching really is.

My first year with Andy was tackling the Leadman series of events in 2019. I headed into round 1 of 6 fitter and more confident than ever. By the time I crossed the finish line in the Leadville Trail 100 run, the last event, I had accomplished more that I thought possible. Andy helped me accomplish my biggest goal to date injury free and with the fitness I needed. We continue to work together on more goals in 2022. Knowing Andy is in my corner is an added advantage. I know I am getting the most out of my training. I can’t thank Andy enough!

It gives me structure and also add more intensity and speed work

Working with Ryne was a big help for my training. He was willing to help out a younger athlete with a busy schedule and worked to make my training as streamlined as possible. We had excellent communication and he provided lots of useful feedback on my activities. Without his help, I would have never gotten to the start line of a 100-miler. Would highly recommend!

I took Fred a couple of months before a big ultratrail challenge. He has helped me a lot to adapt my life with the demands of my training. He has adapted very well to my personality and dedicates the time I need to meet my objectives.

We also both speak Spanish so there is no language barrier and communication is super fluid.

Fred brings a vision that is a perfect blend of academia and scientific rigor with practical advice and his experience as both an athlete and a person. Always bring training prescriptions to practical and real considerations.

He is a great coach and I highly recommend him.

With Sarah’s help I was able to complete my first 50 mile run with no chafing and no blisters. It was in the summer in the Florida Keys so I fee pretty proud. She put up with a lot of inconsistency on my part but truly coached me through my ups and downs. When I needed a reality check around my marathon run in the lead up to the 50 miler, Sarah walked me through the thought process and helped me reach the tough choice of dropping the marathon event to get the best result out of the ultimate goal. Sarah has helped me feel good about my accomplishments and not let me get too worked up about the setbacks. There is a lot more within my power than I thought. I’m working on my next goal with her now.

Chantelle is fantastic. While she is happy to look at Training Peaks data and analyze it with me (which I love to do), she also actively listens to my qualitative feedback, picks up on my non-training life stressors, and accounts for family and work commitments when developing my training plan. Chantelle has very deliberately addressed other areas that boost athletic performance and wellness, including nutrition, sleep, mobility work, mindfulness, and strength training. Chantelle is very specific in her training suggestions. We identify issues to improve, put together an actionable plan, and tracked and measure results. As a result of working with Chantelle, I have improved my running performance (PR in a recent 100k ultra); developed a solid race-day nutrition plan; strengthened my climbing ability; and become much more disciplined around strength, mobility, and nutrition. She provides excellent knowledge, direction, feedback, and motivation. Plus, she’s just a fun person with which to chat. I always look forward to our weekly conversations. Chantelle is a wonderful coach!

In all of my years of sports, I haven’t encountered another coach quite like Jason Koop – he is the real deal. Koop is extremely knowledgable and passionate about the sport and his work. Perhaps more importantly, he believes in me when I don’t believe in myself. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I didn’t have him as my coach.

I am very grateful to have Nicole as my running coach. I am confident that she thoughtfully considers my specific physical, emotional and situational needs when creating training plans for upcoming races. Through her frequent communication, she provides objective and affirming feedback, advice for moving forward and continuous encouragement. I am developing as a runner because of Nicole’s commitment to providing such an individualized and personal training plan for each of her athletes.

Working with Coach Ryne has not only changed how I perform as an athlete, but how I approach the sport. Ryne quickly understood how much I appreciated the why behind things and takes time to explain things to me in an easy to understand way. One of my favorite things about Ryne is that it’s people first. I’ve been in the middle of Helen devastation and his compassion and support during this time has been invaluable. I thought that I would’ve wanted to put a pause on coaching as I was also at the end of a training cycle – but the encouragement and support has enriched my running through this devastation.

Oh, and I got my BQ on the first try with his support. After 38 years of running for fun I’m now running to keep my body and brain in the best shape I can. The best investment/indulgence I’ve ever done.

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.

Stephanie provides a detailed and adaptable, non generic training plan to help me work towards a 300 self sustained km challenge early 2022. Her advice and feedback is precise, and got me away from the mindset that “more is better”, and more in tune with how I feel when I am training. Weekly training goals are clearly set, and are achievable. I also love to be coached by a woman, as she understands the challenges of motherhood and the impact juggling work/ family/ running can have on your performance some days.

I hired a coach to add some variety to my workouts and make the most of the time I could dedicate over the course of a week. Ryne was fantastic at both keeping things fresh with purpose while building a schedule with enough flexibility to adapt if life suddenly got in the way. He is very easy to talk to over the phone and quick to respond to text messages with questions that popped up on occasion. I also really appreciated him really digging in after I had a bad race to understand why things went wrong and revamped my entire training plan leading up to my next race to ensure we addressed some of the issues I had. The result was me walking into my next race full of confidence and successfully finishing. The only reason I am currently stopping coaching is that my wife and I are welcoming our first child very soon and I simply cannot dedicate the same time to my running. If I end up hiring a coach again at some point in the future, I have no doubt that I’ll be reaching out to Ryne again!

His structure, responsiveness and adjustments to my training has definitely improved my running. Can’t say enough good things about working with Travis.

Bri has helped me train out of ingrained workout habits and move towards exactly the goals I wanted. Now planning 2025 with her and it’s super fun. She is super positive, thinks about all the aspects of running and training and truly adds experience that I do not/would not have as a solo athlete/self-coaching. She always seeks feedback and has helped me learn what feedback helps her to help me improve the most eg on weight workouts, nutrition approaches etc. She seeks to have me learn great new habits and has already helped me become much stronger and more efficient in my workouts, helping me go from prehab into strength and weights and now into more advanced strength workouts as well as helping me not only train for my first 100 miler and have races along the way (including being accomodating to and helping me to make tradeoffs eg when sick or when I changed goal races mid-year due to personal scheduling/location). When Javelina weather changed close to the race she helped me with additional training, adapted the heat training. Was amazing that she crewed at Javelina and helped me thru challenges at that race on every loop!

Wow… what I can say. With Chantelle coming into my life as a coach it has made a huge impact on my achievements.
Of note were the following that was made possible by the precise programming; HK4TUC, Chang Rai, Dragons Back Race, and last man standing in Singapore.

Stephanie has been very helpful:

– Emphasizing the importance of leg treatment, specifically stretching and massage. I had a knee issue for months, and after some ideas and encouragement from her, my knee is as healthy as it’s been in awhile.
– She keeps me accountable – without a coach, I wouldn’t be getting out the door day-in, day-out. That’s been one of the primary reasons for my improvement.
– I was winging it with training plans previously – the plan she’s developed for me is more focused on data-driven results.

Two areas where I’d like to continue improving:
– Understanding the “why” and the science behind the training plan. We’ve talked about doing a phone call as she designs 2-3 weeks of a training plan so I can understand why she prescribes what distances and at what intensity. I haven’t had a chance to advocate more for this. I’d like to learn more.
– I want to take advantage of the nutrition consultation that is part of the level of coaching I signed up for.

Overall, I’ve enjoyed working with Coach Stephanie immensely!

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.

Chantelle has done an awesome job of building me up over the past couple of years. Helping me to set goals, aim high and then make plans to achieve them. She has a wealth of knowledge in so many areas , and nothing is ever a problem.
Particularly in these covid times, Chantelle has helped keep me focused and we’ve achieved some results I never dreamed of, including winning the Australian event in Bigs Backyard Ultra Satellite setting an Australian Record of 46hrs. This earned me a place to compete in Bigs Backyard in Tennessee in October 2021 where I’ll get to meet Chantelle face to face as she supports me for days in end as I aim to do Australia proud.
I could not be happier with my decision to work with Chantelle.

Nicole met me exactly where I was at with my ultramarathon training. Having not had a very positive experience with my previous coaches and coming off the back of an overwhelmingly busy few years, I felt ready to prioritise my training and wanted a coach who I could trust to be in my corner. I knew going to CTS whoever I was matched with I would be in good hands because of the professionalism and established reputation. I wanted to work with Nicole for two reasons – her strength training background and the fact that she was a working mum with three children. I wish I had started with Nicole sooner and I am feeling excited about what’s possible!

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!

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 trust Corrine to set a plan so that I am able to reach my goals. My goals being “not dying while running a trail ultra”. When Corrine sets my schedule, I know this is what I have to do to stay on track to complete my next race. It enables me to be accountable to myself, because I can say to myself “I need to do this today, so that I can complete the race that’s two months away”. Without Corrine I’d probably just run 4 miles a day which would keep my healthy, but wouldn’t prepare me and wouldn’t progress me. With Corrine it’s not just “someone else” setting my schedule “it’s someone I trust” setting my schedule. Corrine makes it so I don’t over train or under train, which is exactly what I need.

I am a high school cross-country runner who started working with Addison two years ago. During that time, Addison put together the perfect workout plans that allowed me to balance school, other sports, and consistent training. I appreciated how receptive he was to my feedback on workouts, adjusting the plan based on what worked well and what didn’t. He consistently checked in after every run – so much so that sometimes I struggled to keep up with responses!

We also had regular training calls. Being able to talk through race strategy or nervous energy with a coach who has experience as both a high school and collegiate runner greatly boosted my confidence. Although I ultimately decided not to continue running in college, Addison also helped me to explore that option.

Overall, Addison was an amazing coach whose guidance and training helped me to achieve all my running goals! I am so grateful to have worked with him, and I would highly recommend him to other high school runners!!

Works with me to help me become and stronger runner. Knows when to push, when to back off. Uses science and research in formulating a plan and a response. Also is tuned into the emotional aspect of life. She is an amazing athlete herself which is a huge plus.

I have worked with Sarah for two separate races and couldn’t be happier with her as my coach. She approaches training as a true partnership and has worked with me to meet my training goals while understanding that life sometimes gets in the way. I wouldn’t have had the success in my races that I had without Sarah. She’s amazing!!!

I have never been able to stay uninjured and focused for this long. Sarah is responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and keeps me on track. By trail running standards I’m just a baby and I am so grateful for her expertise and guidance.

I reached out to Coach Ryne after surprising myself with decent results at the 2024 UTMB Canyons 50k and found myself with an auto-entry into UTMB’s OCC 55k in 2025. I knew I needed a coach to take on OCC in a way I would feel proud of. For context, I tend to take any training and athletics seriously since I come from a D1 collegiate softball background and am currently enrolled as an exercise science doctoral student. With about five years of running under my belt and a tendency to push myself a little too hard, I reached out to Ryne for more guidance in the art of trail running. We have worked together for about 5 months now, and we have learned a lot about my physiology, psychology, and logistics management and identified clear areas of improvement. Plus, Ryne is from the southeast and brings that southern Appalachian twang and understanding that I need for my training, aka understanding the heat, humidity, and technicality of the WNC region. Lastly, Ryne takes the position as a guide and a pal. He does a great job balancing the science, the subjective, and everyday life.

Ryne is an absolute badass, great coach and I can’t imagine working with someone else. He is helping me level up consistently over time.

After several years of piecing together running information from the internet, I made the jump and hired a coach. No regrets. Custom training plans based on my race goals and schedule. Weekly phone calls that give me answers to my big and small questions. Lots of encouragement.

Learning trail running, staying strong and healthy, learning fueling. Great experience very worth it!

I couldn’t have asked for a better coach to guide me through my running journey!

Addison has consistently helped me adapt my training to fit my family, work, and unexpected illnesses, offering firm guidance balanced with positive reinforcement and reassurance.

His background and deep expertise as a coach has helped me transition from marathon racing to my first 50k and 100k races with confidence. I’m grateful for his support and would highly recommend Addison to anyone looking to push their limits!

Put some things in order

Frederic has been great about adapting training when there have been bumps in the road and meeting me where I am at. I’m currently on a pause to recover from some health issues but I’m looking forward to working with Frederic again in a couple of months.

Ryne has been such an amazing coach to work with. I have a crazy work in life schedule and he is able to make the perfect training plan with adjustments for me so that I can get to my races as prepared as possible. I have set my best hundred mile times, and finished my toughest races since he came on as my coach. I wouldn’t be the athlete that I am without his help.

We started working 9mths ago with Sarah and she is my first coach. I was looking for three things from my couch:
-I wanted to include weighs and speedwork in training and increase mileage to get ready for my first 100 miler
-I wanted to have a coach who would be actively involved on my training, giving feedback, answering questions and act as bounceboard for my plans (racegear, nutrition, raceplan) and give second opinion on my decisions (should I rest as my legs are sore or push on)
-Understand that I am full time officeworker with family on my 40’s so there are limiting factors.

From the start she has been delivering on all of these. Sarah is a fantastic coach, she knows technical aspects of conditioning but her greatest skill is the ability to build a connection. I feel that I have a friend, someone who is there for me whenever I need.

I am in best shape of my life and managed to finish my 1st 100 miler in tough conditions.

I think the best way to describe my feeling of this coaching relationship is that I would recommend Sarah and CTS for my friends.

Working with Frederic has been simple.
We don’t have many online meetings- we don’t need. We just have quick catch up messages via WhatsApp which works well for me.

Since joining up with Frederic my fitness has improved significantly- see the attached photo.
I feel stronger and fitter and Frederic is helping me train for my last attempt at an ultra in Madeira in April, that I have DNFd three times. I’m confident that I’m going to finish it this year -thanks to Frederic’s guidance.

I find Frederic’s training plans simple to follow and he’s always prompt to amend training sessions when a last minute change is required.

It has been a pleasure to work with him.

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.

Travis gives me lots of borrowed belief. He’s patient, acknowledges my effort, and pushes me to do things that will challenge me. He’s an excellent communicator and is there whenever I have questions and celebrations. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him, especially if you’re taking up running later in life.

After being picked in the lottery for Leadville 2024. I decided I would hire a coach to prep me for this lifetime event. Addison has been responsive, receptive, and encouraging. Great to talk with and great to work with in regards training as well as overall shooting the breeze. He has helped with fueling, pacing, and work throughout my whole process and I have no doubt I will get out there and knock this race out. If you are facing a 5k or 250 miler get with CTS and request Addison!

He has also developed personalized training runs to improve my power and my speed which I was struggling to put together based on all the information available. I love that he has taken all the pressure off of me to learn and understand a plethora of statistics and adjust my training as needed. I leave it in his capable hands. I loved the training camp weekend which was 2 days of running on two sections of the course of my first 100 mile race that I hadn’t run before. All this was done in a very short window of 2.5 months which didn’t give him a lot of time to work with. Although I had serious GI issues from the beginning, my training pulled me through 63 miles. My legs were strong but lack of food and water caught up with me. I feel that it was a great success as I am confident that I can finish 100 miles. Kudos to Adam for building up my body and my confidence. I look forward to more training to get me across that finish line.

Stephanie has been great to work with me on an individual running plan. I have had to work on recovery from an injury and build up for a coming race at the same time and she has made that possible.

I started to work about 2 months before my first ultra. Frederic helped me build a solid training plan, balancing my needs with my busy work/family schedule. He was always available to make adjustments and provided valuable feedback on my performance. He also gave me many helpful tips for the race, such as foot care, nutrition/fluids, and strategy, which made a huge difference on race day. I felt confident and well-prepared: I finished in the time I had set for myself with no significant hurdles except for one thing… downhill running proved next to impossible from the halfway mark … and this is the only thing we did not train. I am now focused on designing a strategy for the winter, so I am ready for next summer. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experience, and I would highly recommend Frederic to newbies, especially if you are interested in the scientific aspects of the sport. Indeed, Frederic is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about endurance sports and is a sports scientist himself.

I am training with Kellie Moylan to get me ready for a trail marathon in late summer 2024. I am a “non-runner” and I have recently retired, so I wanted help and expertise from a trainer, both for learning and for external accountability.

So far I am super pleased with the coach/athlete dynamic. Kellie provides insights after each run and strength workout and she is available any time I have questions or need clarification.

Kellie is genuinely invested in my progress, health, and fitness, and is making sure I get through my training while staying strong and injury-free. She is setting me up for success!

P.S. here is what I looked like finishing my fastest 5K, I came in 2nd in my age group and I’ll be able to run my 26.2 mile trail race next summer for sure!

I came to Addison with a stress fracture on my shin and having not trained for several months. He helped me navigate the progression back to full health and full training volume, and then a half-marathon PR in just a few months. I am excited to keep working with him and confident he’s the best guide I could have as I transition from road races into ultramarathons.

Working with Coach Shute has helped me better understand the full realm of what it means to live an active/athletic life.

I came into the CTS program as a beginning marathon/ultra marathon runner. I am somewhat of a mid-pack runner and have really looked at taking that next step in my training to progress in the sport and stay healthy during the process. Coach has helped me embrace all parts of the training process including hydration, fueling, recovery, and amazing training plans. We have really started working to cross functionalize in cycling as well as adding varied gym and cardio work. I feel like I’ve progressed significantly over the last 6 months under his guidance completing both a PR 100k in 11.5 hours along with a PR Half marathon in 1:34:XX.

Along with the cardio and strength training that comes with our coach/athlete relationship, I’ve learned that calmness of mind and balance of spirit are essential to adapting to the training stimuli. I know I’ll never be the FASTEST guy at the local 5k, half marathon, or Ultramarathons, but I’ve learned that being the best version of myself for those around me is all we can really search for in this life. Amazing life lessons that I’ve picked up through my time with Coach Shute.

Working with Addison has been an absolute game changer. He’s kept me sharp enough to jump in races as the come but also kept me focused on my long term goals. He’s been there to help me understand efforts in interval and tempo workouts and how to analyze data in training peaks. He’s also been great helping me adjust when family life gets busy so I dont feel like I’m missing a beat. I can easily say I’m in the best shape of my life!

I picked up running a bit late in life at the age of 39. I began running 100 milers a few years later with mixed results. I eventually realized that I had no idea what I was doing. My training for that distance was random guesswork and my motivation was waning.

Searching for answers, I took an interest in Jason Koop’s podcasts/book/coaching. I decided to contact CTS, and found Stephanie. She’s been a breath of fresh air for me and my motivation. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge of training, nutrition, racing, mindset and balance. She’s obviously an elite athlete, but that wasn’t of particular importance to me. From my perspective, we’ve worked together to develop training plans both long-term and short-term that push me hard enough to improve my fitness and ability to meet my goals, but not so much that I’m either injured or burned-out. She listens and gives me the feedback that I often need to hear whether positive or negative. There’s a sense of accountability that I wouldn’t have on my own. So, yeah, she’s pretty great.

Working with Sarah was from the start amazing!
Her explanations and training schedules are easy to understand but with a lot scientific background (which she will gladly explain thoroughly)
We worked together for 8 months for 1 main goal, which is the SwissAlps100 (100 Mile with 10 000 vert m) and I have never felt so ready in my life to experience this race.
Even with my slightly overambitious and rebellious nature, Sarah adapted perfectly to what I wanted and made sure that anything I had in mind was done according to the great plan.

The energy Sarah brought with her during our calls were extremely motivating and made you look forward to every hard week.

I love Coach Koop. I haven’t been working with him long enough to actually have any race results yet, but I love his “no BS, let’s get it done” approach and how he handles my training.

If my training has had any lulls, it’s all on me. However, if I am going through lack of motivation issues, I always feel pumped up to get back after it.

I’d like to thank AJW for all his direction. As a 60+ YO returning to running after decades away from running I needed some direction. AJW has provided that direction. I finished my first ultra (50k) healthy and in good time after only a few months of training. He has helped me find the fun in running and provided the framework of workouts I need. The next event is a 24 hour run in a couple of weeks. I feel reasonably well prepared- as well as anyone can at my age and with less than a year of conditioning.
I can honestly say it’s been a privilege to have his experience and expertise to guide my journey.

Working with Ryne over the past several months led to a huge success in several ultra marathons. The longest distance was a 50 mile and there was also a two day event that I competed in. With Ryne’s coaching I was able to hit all my hydration and nutrition goals, able to finish, have fun and even place exceptionally well in my age group. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a coach.

Working with my coach really helped me to structure my daily running plans in order for them to fit into my longer term goals. Having a coach that would check in and keep me accountable for rest days was also super important, as this is the most difficult part of good training for me. Also, the help with nutrition/hydration was super appreciated! Overall would totally recommend to anyone trying to improve their performance/reach running goals!

Anne is a very talented coach who is personable, attentive and reliable. With her expert program prescription, I’ve seen significant gains towards all my stated goals. I am confident that I will be well prepared for race day.

I’m kind of a challenge, 61 years old, trying to transition from being a cyclist for over 35 years to going after some ultra running goals I set. My body isn’t built for running, so I’ve been fighting injuries ever since I had this vision quest, and ultimately I wasn’t able to complete the big goal of finishing the LT100 run, I’ve completed many many others that I couldn’t have done with Duncan’s help, knowledge, and guidance, he made adjustments when and where needed. I’ve ran countless 50K runs, a 50 mile run, and achieved much more than just running improvements. He’s a class act.

I’ve been working with Anne since January preparing for Tahoe 200 (my first 200). Anne is phenomenal. She is a wealth of information, is always timely with responses, and guided me through solid training to complete a 200 miler. Without a doubt, the knowledge she shared and training plan she put in place is the reason I finished.

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

Anne is such an intelligent coach and does such a fantastic job caring for my progress and encouraging me to set goals. She also has her work cut out for me as I call myself her reckless client.
Being a catch myself Anne does a great job not only coaching but respecting my input and knowledge to the training process as well and I am grateful for that.

Anne has coached me to my first 50 milers, through 2 100 milers, and prepping for my 3rd.

Now we’re going to crush the triple crown of 200ss next year!

Nicole helps me stay consistent, answers my questions, provides feedback and gives me more confidence in completing my goals.

Sarah has been awesome at helping me train smarter. The strength training has helped tremendously in making me feel stronger on the trails. She’s been awesome at adjusting training based on the scheduling constraints life throw at me. I recently injured my leg and having a coach adjust things and go to for advice has been amazing. I feel much more prepared than i have in the past.

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.

El Jefe or fearless leader as I know him has gone above and beyond my plan. I signed up for the cheapest one as funds are tight and I live in Indonesia. He has gone out of his way countless times( I’v been wearing 5 fingers for years like a dirty hippie I feel Koop’s eyes rolling). When I told Frederic that and my hippie shoes he didn’t flinch and just said if that’s what you want we will work with that.

He responds promptly and we chat regularly, and with great insights. He lets me do what I feel is right for me with great guidance and has worked around all different issues with terrain my lifestyle living in a small village in , Bali that barely has roads.

I will use his technique in my own coaching for swimming and freediving and hope that he gets the recognition he deserves as he is an amazing human and ya just a good dude that is there to help and what more coaches need to do, listen. He truly has changed me as an athlete and a coach/ teacher.

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.

I wasn’t sure about how a coach would help me at first. I’m not an elite runner and I don’t train full-time. However, I do enjoy running/racing and while my training had some structure, I guessed it could be better. Hiring Sarah took things to a much better place. Taking out the randomness of my running program and having a professional coach listen to my goals and then tailor a training plan to not only suit those goals, but also work with my specific capabilities has been remarkable. Sarah’s positive attitude, attention to detail, thorough commentary to all my questions, inquisitive and thoughtful questions of me, and just her constant support of my goals has been remarkable. She is easy to talk to, quick to respond, usually has an idea or two in her pocket, but is also willing to research the answer if oddball questions come up. The quality of my training has improved dramatically and having Sarah on my team has already proven race beneficial as well.
