After a year or two of training and competition, many athletes experience a performance plateau. There's a gulf between event results and the results they believe themselves able to achieve. A personal trainer may help the athlete to become stronger, fitter and more prepared to meet the demands of their sport.
If you found this website, then you can certainly find an abundance of training programs, strength exercises and nutrition plans. So, if you are still looking for a trainer, then you understand the benefit of collaborating with an experienced athlete. You still want to know what to do with the information you uncovered. Or maybe your competitive spirit got the better of you and it's time to dial it back. A trainer can help with that, too. |
 From the Gym to the Road and Beyond
A gym rat since high school, I discovered my love of racing back in 1992 when I trained for and ran my first 8K road race in Philomath, Oregon.
Despite a rather underwhelming finish, I continued to pursue racing over the next seventeen years. The distances kept growing to marathon and eventually to multi-sport events.
I lost count at about 110 races a few years ago and began coaching other runners and athletes through group fitness and personal training.
Last year brought the inevitable major injury that most competitors face at one time or another. Rehabilitation involved physical therapy, Egoscue Postural Method, yoga, nutritional counseling, acupuncture, chiropractic and daily activity.
Now I welcome the opportunity to help other athletes overcome the anxiousness, frustration and depression that often accompanies an injury or layoff.
