HYROX · Marathon

Test your limits.See how far you’ll go.

Most people never find out what they’re actually capable of, because the training never gets organized to show them.

HYROX

8 kilometers, 8 stations · strength and speed

Ski, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, row, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, wall balls — and a 1 km run in front of every one of them. The race is decided on the compromised runs. We train running on legs that are already fatigued, on purpose.

Marathon

26.2 miles · one continuous effort

No stations to hide in and nowhere to reset. The marathon rewards accumulated aerobic volume and punishes fueling mistakes made two hours earlier. Most people I meet are running their easy days too hard and their long runs too short — we fix that order first, then sharpen.

From first call to race day

The process.

01 / INTAKE

Call and baseline

We talk through your training history, injury history, and the constraints that actually decide the plan — shift work, kids, how badly you sleep. Then baseline testing, so we know where the strengths and the weaknesses actually are.

02 / BUILD

The block, backwards from race day

I periodize from your race back to today — base, build, peak, taper — so every week has a job and you can see what it is. It goes straight into your COROS calendar and syncs to your watch, released a week at a time.

03 / THE LOOP

You log, I adjust

Every session comes back to me with your data and your notes on it. We check in every week — a call or video call — and the block gets rebuilt around what actually happened rather than what was planned. Missed sessions get reshuffled.

04 / RACE WEEK

Taper, pacing, fueling

A written race plan: taper structure, pace or power targets by segment, and carbohydrate in grams per hour with the products you’ve already tested. Then a debrief afterwards that feeds the next block.

I fell for endurance racing because of how honest it is. What you put in is exactly what you get out, and you can watch yourself progress week over week in a way most of life never allows. Choosing something hard on purpose breaks up the monotony — and it builds a particular kind of confidence, because every battle I choose turns out to be harder than the ones life throws at me without asking.

The sport also handed me a community and some of my closest friends, and that’s really why I coach. I want to be a resource and a friend through the whole process, not a plan you download and never hear about again. I’ll push you toward goals that stretch you, because the point is finding out how far you’ll actually go — and the fortitude you build getting there follows you into every other part of your life.

$299

per month

Final pricing depends on your race, your timeline, and how much contact you want. We settle it on the intro call — no pressure, no obligation.

  • Written around your race, your schedule and your body — never a template with your name at the top.
  • A check-in every week, where we go through what actually happened and rebuild what comes next around it.
  • Direct access in between for the questions that can’t wait until then.
  • Strength work programmed to support the running rather than compete with it.
  • Fueling and recovery dialed in — what to eat, when, and how much, down to grams of carbohydrate per hour.
  • A written race-day plan: pacing and fueling, settled before you travel.
  • Someone in your corner on the days the motivation isn’t there.

Before you ask

FAQ

Can I do both HYROX and marathon training?
Yes. I ran a 1:09 HYROX Pro Singles and a 2:52 marathon in the same year, so I’m not going to tell you it can’t be done. The week ends up looking like HYROX-specific work midweek — stations, compromised runs, strength — with the long run protected on the weekend. What it takes is intentionality: knowing which session is the priority on any given day, and actually going easy when the plan says easy. Done carelessly you end up mediocre at both. Done deliberately, the strength work makes you a more durable runner and the running makes the stations cheaper.
How many hours a week does this take?
A minimum of 45 minutes a day and you’ll be ready for race day. If you’re chasing a specific time it will take more than that, and we’ll be honest with each other about how much before you start. Either way, consistency is what matters.
What kind of equipment do I need?
A watch that measures your heart rate and pace — that’s really it. I coach through COROS Training Hub, so a COROS watch is the smoothest setup since sessions sync straight to your wrist, but we can work with what you already own. If you’re training for a HYROX, a gym with sleds, a SkiErg and a rower is preferred but not necessary — there’s a decent substitution for every station, and I’ll build around whatever your gym actually has.
How far out should I start?
A three-month block is what I’d prefer for either race, but how far out you really need to start depends on your baseline. If you’re already running consistently, three months is plenty. With no running or athletic background behind you, plan on at least six months for a marathon — that isn’t padding the timeline, it’s how long tendons and bone take to catch up with your fitness, and rushing it is how people get injured in month two. Tell me where you’re starting from and I’ll be straight with you about what’s realistic.
What about injuries?
Minor injuries we can work through. Most people will have some discomfort at some point in a block — that’s normal, and it isn’t a reason to stop. What I’ll do is stay on top of injury prevention and make sure we’re not overtraining, so that you get to the start line able to hit your goal. Anything that needs a diagnosis goes to your physio or doctor, and I’ll build around whatever they tell you.
Is coaching fully remote?
Yes. Everything runs through your training platform, messaging, and video calls, so it works regardless of where you are. I’m based in Salt Lake City, so if you’re local there’s every chance we end up training together in person too.
