Your Christian Running Coach

We will help you develop a plan to fit your running goals. Races could be a 5K,10K, Half Marathon, or a Marathon. As your running coach or marathon coach I want your running training program to fit your lifestyle in such a way as not to dominate your life. You will be given training options that will allow you the freedom to adapt to family and professional needs. Of course we want you to look for opportunities to use your running to serve others. As your Christian running coach, we will also give you suggestions on how that might look.

In 1978 while in college, I took on the challenge of running a marathon. I was very naive as to marathon training. My longest training run was barely over an hour. During the race, I felt very good until mile 13 and by mile 15 I was in a car being shuttled to the finish. Since then I have studied and learned  to be a wise marathon coach.

Your Christian Cycling Coach

We will help you develop a plan to fit your cycling goals. Your goals may center on preparing for races, tours, or special rides on your vacation. I have years of experience as a Christian cycling coach that you can put to work for you.  Your cycling training program will need to fit your lifestyle in such a way as not to dominate your life. You will be given training options that will allow you the freedom to adapt to family and professional needs. Of course we want you to look for opportunities to use your cycling to serve others. We will give you suggestions on how that might look.

Prior to getting married, my wife and I did training rides to prepare for our honeymoon. After our wedding, we flew to Europe to spend a month riding through the Italian, Swiss, and French Alps. Our highlights including participating in the Tour of the Dolomites, riding the 53 switchbacks on the Stelvio Pass, riding into Chamonix, watching the Tour de France for 5 days on our bikes that included riding up the Alpe de Huez and the Col du Juex Plan. Presently I am training to return to my favorite mountain ( Mt. Diablo) in California to beat my best time in a hill climb that I set in 1992. As a Christian cycling coach I have worked with beginning cyclists that have gone on to win championships. One such rider became a national champion that now races worldwide.

Your Christian Triathlon Coach

We will help you to develop a plan to fit your triathlon goals. Your goals may be to prepare for your first triathlon or to qualify for the national championships. As a Christian cycling coach, marathon coach, and swimming coach I will be able to help you with every aspect of the triathlon training. In addition, my experiences running triathlons allows me to guide you in setting up a Christian triathlon training program specific to your needs in training for a triathlon. Your triathlon training program will need to fit your lifestyle in such a way as not to dominate your life.  Your Christian triathlon training program will allow you the freedom to adapt to family and professional needs. Of course we want you to look for opportunities to serve. That could be volunteering  for a youth triathlon or running race.

Back in 1983, I used my coaching salary from the previous high school track season to purchase an entry level road bike. My plan was to enter my first triathlon. I swam for four years in high school and I ran with the high school runners that I coached. In 5 weeks, I trained for a Bud  Lite triathlon race that took me just over 3 hours to complete. The leaders of that race were the legends, Dave Scott, Scott Tinley, and Scott Molina. Over the years I have continued to do triathlons. Having young children ( boys 3 & 5), I only compete in local (Durango )sprint triathlon races that only have a 500 yard pool swim. Adding swimming to my running and cycling takes too much time away from family and work. In fact I do only 3-6 swim workouts prior to a race. I have worked with first timers  and I also have trained with a 2004 Olympian in the triathlon.
