Trail and ultramarathon coaching.
Helping you go farther.
New to trail.
If you’re a beginner runner or a new trail runner, we’ll work together over 16 weeks to build your aerobic endurance and trail skills so you can tackle the ups and downs, roots and rocks with confidence.
New to ultra.
If you’re a seasoned road or trail runner but you want to go beyond 42.2, we’ll work together to improve strength and endurance and venture into ultramarathon territory.
Performance.
You’re confident on trails but want to achieve ambitious goals. We’ll fine-tune your training, sharpen your race strategy, and chase those podium, age-group or PR goals.
Youth XC & Trail.
You’re a parent of or are a U18 youth with sights set on cross-country or transitioning to trail running. We can provide a fun but structured training program that builds confidence, develops skills, and inspires a lifelong passion for athletics.
How we
operate.
Our Values
-
Our priority is athlete growth and success, not achieving our own personal racing goals.
-
Whether it’s a race, an FKT, a self-supported adventure, or just learning to love running long on the trails, we encourage exploration and finding joy through trail running.
-
We rely on proven, evidence-based coaching methods, focusing on what works rather than what’s trendy.
-
Ultrarunning is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities and experience levels, focusing on beginners and new-to-the-trails athletes.
Our Principles
-
Every workout has a purpose; training should be challenging but never pointless.
-
Progress comes from smart training and proper recovery. Rest or easy days are non-negotiable.
-
Every athlete gets a personalized, adaptable program based on their experience, progress, and needs.
-
Workouts are built on proven, evidence-based methods designed for real results, not driven by fads or trends.

Meet Your Coach.
Somewhere between Parc national des Hautes-Gorges and Mont Grand-Fonds in Québec, I quietly decided that I never wanted to run again. I was deep into my first ultramarathon, and I was fighting for every lonely step. With my attention focused on putting one foot in front of the other, I missed a turn and finished my goal race with a DNF. That day, I learned that grit alone can get you across the finish line, but it isn’t always pretty or the way you imagined it. It inspired me to become a coach so that I could help athletes of all levels build the strength, endurance, and mindset they need to cross the finish line strong.
I run because I love the sense of wild belonging that comes from moving self-supported through remote landscapes. I coach to help others discover meaning from trails, and I also co-founded Run Locale, a non-profit organization committed to connecting people to place and community through the joie de vivre of trail running. While Run Locale is still in its infancy, we have big goals—think trail clubs, ultra races, youth programming for track and trail, and community coaching.
