SHIFT Coaching.

If you’re a runner, you know the passion and dedication it takes to train. It's deeply meaningful and a key part of who you are. As an experienced (10 years of NCAA coaching), focused and caring coach, I will go above and beyond to help you become the best runner you can be.

With a focus on smart training (including lifting, drills, nutrition/lifestyle) I formulate a plan with your speed and FUN in mind. We assess, move, and build an individualized plan to achieve all your running goals.   

Running fast is FUN! It is a tough endeavor but I will help you run with JOY.

The athletes I coach each get an individualized plan, weekly communication (Call/text/email) and access to running specific psychological resources.  With SHIFT, you get someone focused on your goals as much as you and who sees to it that you train smart.  

I work with a very specific, highly motivated, limited clientele and offer 2 free consultations a week.

Why choose me as your coach?

I have the expertise, experience, and care and I'm committed to helping you achieve your goals, every step of the way.

Testimonials

“Josh took over coaching the cross country team at CCU during my senior and final year on the team. I recall being impressed with his knowledge and style of coaching - thoughtful, detail-oriented, and holistic - which gave me full confidence to trust his direction. In my post-collegiate running career, his coaching has brought my training and performance to a level I could only have dreamed of, with consistent PR's from the 5k all the way up to the marathon. Josh cares for and invests fully in his athletes and it shows; there is no one else I would rather have for a coach."
