Athlete-first Ultramarathon Coaching
We provide one-on-one, personalized coaching to help you build endurance and feel confident on any trail.

Let’s go!
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
I came to ultra trail running from fastpacking, drawn by the challenge of pushing beyond my limits while traveling self-supported through the wilderness. I’ve explored most of Southern Ontario’s trails and those in Eastern Québec, fastpacked some of Ontario’s iconic routes, and climbed many of Québec’s eastern mountains.
I’ve learned firsthand how personalized, one-on-one coaching can help athletes train smarter, listen to their bodies, and achieve their goals. There’s an abundance of flashy, influencer-driven advice that prioritizes hype over evidence; I’m here to help athletes train safely, effectively and efficiently using science-backed methods suited to their specific needs and objectives.
