Hi, my name is Guy and I help performance-oriented runners improve their running and achieve their goals, with my practical and highly-successful, individualized training approach, that eliminates the second-guessing of generic training programs, without injuries or burnout.

For more than three decades, I have helped hundreds of runners improve their times, achieve their goals and become more confident with a practical, individualized training approach that gives you the clear guidance you need.

My 'Step Back 2 Move Ahead' and ‘One Brick at a Time’ training has a 95% goal-success rate for those who follow it. When you simply prioritize two key training sessions per week, you can make steady, measurable progress and transform as a runner.

Half-marathoners and marathoners have found my personalized coaching and WORLD MAJOR Marathon group program to be a blast. We start by preparing to race our best at the fast Cal International course in December to qualify for London (in April) and Berlin (the following September). These groups have a blast training to qualify for these target WORLD MAJOR marathons and traveling to fun places.

I competed as an NCAA D1 college athlete and I have been through all of the ups and downs and trial and error that comes with training for and racing the longer distances. I know the challenges and frustrations that runners face, to achieve success and satisfaction.

From all of my own trial and error as an athlete – as well as my in-depth study of the sport -- I have learned what doesn’t work and what DOES work for athletes.

I’ve learned to apply the most important practical keys to successful training for hundreds of runners of all abilities, including countless half-marathoners and marathoners.

My 'Step Back 2 Move Ahead' and ‘One Brick at a Time’ approach focuses on setting an achievable goal and prioritizing 2 key moderate training sessions per week. Whether you run 4, 5, 6 or 7 days a week, when you prioritize two key individualized training sessions per week, you will build the foundation for measurable and sustainable progress in your fitness and race performances.

While the core training principles are the same, each runner is different, so you need your own individualized blend of key training sessions, that work together to build the foundation that gradually takes you to another fitness and performance level.  

It’s all about getting the most from the safest, highest-leverage workouts. These key training sessions are not extreme – the effort-level is 7.0 to 8.5 on a scale of 10.0 – and they build your solid foundation ‘one brick at a time.’

It is an optimal, consistent, individualized blend of training sessions that takes you to another level, without the risky workouts that so often lead to injury, plateau or burnout.

I have coached hundreds of runners of all abilities for over the last 25 years, with extraordinary success. These athletes have earned 200+ High School State Championship medals, over 50+ High School & College ‘All-American’ medals and 26 ‘National Championship’ medals.

Countless marathoners have routinely achieved Boston-Qualifying (BQ) and other WORLD MAJOR Marathon-Qualifying times and run their very best half-marathons and marathons, while racing PR’s at every race distance, in the process.

You will make steady, measurable gains in fitness, and racing improvements and consistently nail your target events with the confidence of knowing you are well-prepared.

Runners who target half-marathons and marathons already invest so much time (and money) into their training and racing. Unfortunately, they are often plagued by doubts from information overload, generic cookie-cutter training programs, injuries, burnout and ultimately incomplete preparation, that leaves them lacking confidence on race day -- and so often feeling frustrated in knowing they can do much better.

I can help you achieve your half-marathon and marathon goals, with my "step Back 2 Move Ahead' and ‘One Brick at a Time’ individualized training program.

Consider joining our super-fun WORLD MAJOR Marathon training group!

Harder is not smarter. Patience actually gets you there quicker -- and with much less injury or burnout risk -- and a MUCH higher probability of success.
