Apply for CoachingThe Real Problem
Running More Isn't the Answer
You've added miles. You've cut calories. And somehow you're slower, hungrier, and picking up little injuries that never used to happen.
Here's what nobody tells runners: more running won't fix a fueling problem, and eating less won't fix a strength problem.
Under-fueled runners hit the wall in training, store stress like a full-time job, and watch the scale refuse to move no matter how many miles they log. Runners who skip strength work break down right when training ramps up, usually 6 to 8 weeks out from race day.
I've spent 15+ years fixing both.
What We Do Together
Your Plan Covers Five Things
Fueling Your Training
Most runners I meet are eating too little, not too much. We'll get your calories and timing dialed so your runs feel strong, your recovery speeds up, and your body finally lets go of the fat it's been holding onto.
Macros Made Simple
You'll learn exactly what your body needs for protein, carbs, and fat, and why carbs are your friend when you run. The goal is to educate you well enough that eventually you don't need an app to eat right.
Strength Built Around Your Running
Two to three sessions a week designed to make you injury-resistant, not exhausted. Everything fits around your run schedule, not the other way around.
Race-Ready Nutrition
Long run fueling, race week strategy, and a race day plan so you never bonk at mile 10 wondering what went wrong.
Balance You Can Live With
Wine with friends, restaurant dinners, vacation weeks. We build all of it into the plan so you never feel like your goals and your life are at war.

Runners We've Coached Across the Finish Line
"This is how an 8 minute PR looks like! Pure happiness! Working with Tom has been the best decision I ever made. His workouts and nutrition plans are perfect and can easily be done, even with a complicated schedule. Since I started working with him, I lost over 30 pounds, I have been injury free and as a bonus, I PR every single race I run. I'm faster, more confident and fell in love with running all over again."
"Strength training made all the difference. It kept my muscles balanced and resilient through long miles. It improved my running efficiency, so I had energy in reserve when I needed it most. It protected me from the aches and pains that often come with higher mileage. To all my fellow runners, don't underestimate the power of strength work. It's the key to not only finishing races, but finishing them healthy and strong."
"Strength training during my marathon training is the only way I was able to conquer the hills of West Virginia. I tackled a 15 miler race as part of training, a race that included a 1 mile long hill. Because of my leg days, I conquered that hill without stopping! It has made me more confident in my running and stamina."
Is This You?
This Works Best If...
You're Willing to Strength Train
Two to three sessions a week is the price of a durable body. I'll build workouts you actually enjoy, but you have to show up for them.
You're Open to Learning Nutrition
I don't hand you a meal plan and disappear. I teach you how to fuel yourself so the results last long after we're done working together.
You Have a Goal on the Calendar
A race, a challenge weekend, a comeback season. Coaching works best when we're building toward something real.
