Alpine Start Endurance Coaching

Welcome to Alpine Start Coaching. We are a coaching service for the all mountain athlete. Are you an athlete that enjoys changing your sport with the season? We are here for that!

Our Training Philosophy

Our approach prioritizing joy and fulfillment while reaching goals through a process oriented approach to training. We believe in finding joy and passion and when that is done, results will follow. We believe consistency and time are key. Results and gains are not made over night, but rather with the daily commitment to showing up every day and progress over time. We take a long-term and individualized approach to training. We like to know and understand our athletes and create plans that support their goals, short-term and long.

As an athlete on the USA Ski Mountaineer national team and an accomplished trail runner, I want to share my joy and passion of sport and competition with others. With opportunities to race internationally on trail and snow, I have learned so much from coaches, athletes and my own mistakes. I would love to share my knowledge of training with those who are interested in taking their sport to the next level.

I am a UESCA certified endurance coach and SWAP athlete. I currently work with Dr. Megan Roche as an athlete and have for nearly 3 years. For a long time I was adverse to the idea of having a coach, I just wanted to run in the mountains on my own agenda. However, since working with Megan, I have learned so much about training, especially the benefits of a structured training plan and the support of a coach that believes in you on race day. Prior to working with Megan, I deeply studied Training for the Uphill Athlete and familiarized myself with training philosophies, principles and science. My approach to coaching is informed by my coach, UESCA, and my experience in sport and high level racing. I am also skimo coach for Ski Club Vail.

About Me

What We Offer

First- we will send you a survey so we can get to know you! We want to know about you as a person, your job, your daily schedule, your stressors, your goals, your biggest dreams and aspirations and from there we figure out how we can best integrate a training plan into your life.

Second- We will customize you a plan. We use an open sheets document to allow for daily dialogue and updates so we can adjust as we go.

Third- Training plans will be written on a weekly and progressive basis. General strength training programming will be added in 1-2 times per week.
