Who Justin works with
Justin coaches serious recreational athletes who want both strength and endurance. Clients include hybrid athletes, runners training for a half marathon or marathon, lifters who want to keep their speed, and people with busy lives. Some clients are new to structured coaching. Others have run for years without progress.
How Justin works
Justin uses concurrent training, which combines lifting and running so one does not hurt the other. Plans are written for each client and sent in mesocycles of 4 to 6 weeks through TrainingPeaks. Clients have weekly check-ins so training can change based on how the body responds. Text and email questions get an answer within 24 hours. Programming follows current research. Plans bend around travel, work and family.
