The Neu Rhythm Running Philosophy: Data, Durability, Direction, & Decision-Making.
Every athlete works directly with me. I personally review your training and feedback, learn how you respond over time, and make the coaching decisions that shape your plan.
I believe in toughness, but I completely reject inflexibility. A rigid, one-size-fits-all training plan is the fastest way for a runner with a real life, a demanding schedule, and serious goals to end up burnt out, injured, or stuck.
My coaching philosophy is built around helping you train hard enough to improve, smart enough to stay healthy, and specific enough to show up ready when it matters.
I focus on four key pillars:
Data-Guided Training: Your plan is built around your current fitness, race goals, schedule, and real-time feedback. By tracking metrics like pace, heart rate, effort, and recovery history, I ensure every single run has a clear role. The goal isn’t to chase random hard workouts; it’s to build the right fitness at the right time.
Built-In Durability: Progress occurs when your body can sustainably handle the training load. I prioritize smart progression and sustainable volume management so you can build fitness consistently and avoid the cycle of setbacks that holds so many runners back.
Strategic Direction: You don’t just get a spreadsheet. You get a clear roadmap that connects each phase of training to your larger goal. From training structure and pacing strategy to tapering and race-day execution, every decision is made with your end goal in mind.
Dynamic Decision-Making: While I design the overarching strategy, you are the one running it. I equip you with the knowledge and the "why" behind the work so you can confidently make real-time decisions. You will build the intuition to adjust during daily runs, navigate tough workouts, and execute under pressure on race day.
About the Coach
About the Coach
From DNF to a 2:45 Finish
I didn't run track or cross country in middle school, high school, or college. Like many runners, I came to the sport later in life and had to learn through years of trial and error.
I dealt with inconsistent training, setbacks, injuries, and even a DNF in my first marathon attempt. Through studying endurance training, refining my approach, and building consistency over time, I eventually progressed from that first DNF to a 2:45:31 finish at the Lakefront Marathon.
Outside of my own training, I spent over five years working in run specialty at Fleet Feet. That time allowed me to deeply learn the shoe market and gain extensive experience helping hundreds of local athletes solve real-world running issues and find the right footwear.
That journey taught me something important: most runners don't fail because they lack motivation. They struggle because they're trying to balance ambitious goals with work, family, recovery, injuries, and the realities of everyday life.
As a UESCA Certified Running Coach, I help runners navigate those challenges with a personalized plan, clear direction, and ongoing support. Through my 100% remote coaching system, my goal is to help you train consistently, avoid common mistakes, and make steady progress toward your goals without unnecessary guesswork.
Whether you're preparing for your first race, chasing a personal best, or working toward a Boston Qualifier, my coaching is designed to meet you where you are and help you take the next step forward with confidence.
