The mountain doesn't care about your pace. It cares about your presence. We coach the whole runner — body, mind, and the wild thing inside that keeps going.
"The trail is not a backdrop. It is the teacher."
Ultrarunning in the Pacific Northwest is not a sport. It is a practice — a slow, deliberate conversation between your body and the ancient landscape that surrounds it. The volcanic ridgelines of Rainier, the cathedral silence of old-growth cedar, the cold shock of a glacier-fed river crossing at mile 40.
We don't coach you to finish races. We coach you to become the kind of runner who belongs in these mountains — technically sound, mentally unbreakable, and deeply connected to the terrain beneath your feet.
I've run with coaches who gave me numbers. Rainier Endurance gave me a relationship with the mountain. I finished my first 100 at Cascade Crest feeling like I belonged there.
The training wasn't just physical. It was learning to read weather, to respect the terrain, to know when to push and when the mountain is telling you something. That's coaching.
I came in as a road runner who wanted to try trails. I left as someone who can't imagine running anywhere that doesn't have a ridgeline view and the smell of cedar.
Every coaching relationship starts with a conversation. Tell us about the race you're chasing, the terrain that calls to you, and where you are right now. We'll take it from there — one mile at a time.
No commitment required. We'll reach out within 48 hours.
"The summit is not the destination. The summit is the proof that you were willing to go."
