World-Class Ultramarathon Coaching
Out for my morning stroll ... July 11, 2005 ... destination
... Whitney Portals
and official finish #10 of the 135 mile Badwater Ultramarathon.
Badwater is not for everyone. But, is it for you? I am happy to give you an honest appraisal based on my 15 years of Badwater experience. That experience includes: crewing 3 crossings; soloing a single - a double - and a triple crossing; 11 official finishes of the Badwater Ultramarathon race; and, coaching several athletes to their own Badwater to Mount Whitney finish. If it's Badwater, be it crewing, soloing or participating in 'the Show', I can help. First step ... write to me and tell me about yourself and your goal.
Are you ready to move up from the marathon?
Every ultramarathoner, no matter how famous, accomplished, fast or slow, had a moment when they first encountered the ultramarathon and wondered, "Could I do that?". For me, at a coffee shop in Boulder, Colorado, in 1986, it was seeing a magazine picture of a long line of runners heading up the initial climb at the Western States 100. Just seeing that picture changed my life. I knew that was for me ... I could see myself in that picture ... someday.
Are you at the same point in your life? Have you seen yourself, if only in your mind, perhaps after reading a book, seeing a video, or being at a ultra event ... finishing an ultra ... yourself? What next? How do you make that 'picture in your head' become real ... as soon as possible ... as safely as possible?
I offer a free consultation where we can talk about your ultramarathon dream and how to make it happen. Send me a quick email and tell me about yourself and your goal. I will then send over an athlete's questionnaire that will allow me to better understand your current level of fitness and ultramarathon goals. Then, I will offer you my ideas gained from 40 years as a runner and 20 years as a coach.
