ALL INDURANCE has been a long-time dream I've had to help others achieve what they never thought possible. I have completed road races, ultramarathons and triathlons of many distances for more than 30 years -- rarely the fastest (except for three times), and always with passion. I understand the transformative effect that the journey has on an individual, and it's my honor to help others to experience the same.
My coaching services are personalized and customized to you. I take great pride in my responsive and attentive to each inidividual's unique needs and goals.
"Immediately I loved Garett's personalized approach. He sat down with me as we outlined goals, talked through injuries or limitations as well as hopes and expectations."

MY COACHING PHILOSOPHY
Maybe you've never toed the line at a race. Maybe you rocked college cross country but now you're over 50. Maybe you're as coordinated as a baby giraffe. There is an athlete lurking in there. and together we will find it.
I believe to my core that we're all capable of great things, but we live with a crippling fear and we get really good at finding excuses to stay put and not pursue big things. You're not too old. You're not too slow. You can be a runner. You can learn to swim.
I have never seen Artifical Intelligence (or a robot, for that matter) run trails, swim, bike or complete a triathlon. There are critical learnings that come from experience that cannot be gleaned in cyberspace, and I bring these to bear in my personalized approach.
"Garett curated a personalized training plan that allowed me to run the most weekly mileage I've ever done, while not breaking down. How quickly I bounced back after my races was a testament to his coaching and training plan."

It might not seem possible (especially if you're still in your twenties), but we're all destined to be food for worms ("Dead Poets Society" reference). Dark? Yeah. But the moment we accept it is the moment we're begin making the most of today and achieve greater things.
Many factors influence your success: preparation, diet, sleep, life stressors, weather, blisters, you name it. But it's not celestial randomness. There is a science to it all and I've spent my adult life learning it from books and on the race course. We will put data to good use, filter it with deep experience, and help you succeed.
Your training plan and journey will be different from other athletes - it is not taken verbatim from the back of a manual. Your needs, schedule, motivations, and goals are unique, and so will be your schedule. I made the decision to limit the number of clients clients I take so that I can be responsive, accesible and attentive to your unique needs.
Our FIRST STEP is a phone call. We will discuss your goals, your background, what I bring to the table and more. Let's get a feel for chemistry and make sure we have a goodf fit.
READY TO GO? The next step is to do a deeper dive into your background, goals, history, and more as part of our onboarding process.
We're off and running (literally!). We will review your high-level, long-term plan, built exclusively and uniquely for you. I'll lay out your weekly, monthly and longer-term training plan and we'll get you ready.
Each week, you will have a uniquely customized schedule and training plan suited to your goals, needs, target races, even the challenges of your personal and professional schedule.
COULDN'T I JUST FEED ALL OF MY INFO INTO CHATGPT AND GET A TRAINING SCHEDULE?
A.I. is a powerful tool. But it does not replace a good coach, with a depth of experience both coaching and as an athlete. A.I. does not know how it feels to bonk at Mile 30 of an ultra, and how to dig out of that hole. A.I. is not an accountability or motivational partner. A.I. is not available for a 3 pm phone call on a Saturday afternoon to discuss how a long training run went. These are only a few areas where A.I. cannot fully function as an effective coach.
I HAVE NEVER HAD A COACH, AND I'M NOT SURE I WANT ONE. WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THAT?
Many athletes will agree that a coach is critical to elevating your performance and achieving your goals. But maybe you're only at the beginning of your athletic journey, or are shy about calling yourself an "athlete". That's understandable. Let's at least talk to see if I can help you. If you have ever aspired to do something big, a coach is the single best investment you can make to ensure you are maximizing your chances at success.
WHAT DO YOUR COACHING SERVICES COST?
I charge a flat $200 monthly. In fact, more coaches are charging up to 50% above my rate as the sport grows. I have priced myself at this level because I do not want cost to be an obstacle to you achieving your goals.
HOW SOON BEFORE MY RACE SHOULD WE BEGIN WORKING TOGETHER?
My strong preference is to begin work at a minimum of 6 to 8 months prior to your target event. However, our chances of success hinge on a number of factors, including your base fitness and the more time that we have to properly prepare you and address any unique and personal challenges.
