Darrel has been an excellent, responsive coach to help me achieve my running goals. His training approach is well-balanced, with strength and mobility, cross-training, active recovery, and rest. Darrel explained elements that were new to me, and thoughtfully reviewed and checked in with me each month as we completed each training block. Not once did I feel underprepared throughout my season of training races, which led to the successful completion of my first 50-mile ultra.
Darrel coached, guided, encouraged, and “kept it real,” getting me to the start of each of my races feeling confident and well-prepared – all without injury. Whether novice or pro, he’s sure to lend invaluable insights and guidance for anyone and their running goals.

I’ve loved your coaching! I feel like I’ve learned to pay much more attention to my effort and what I feel like during various points in the run. I feel much more consistent in how I’m running, and I also feel like I’m getting more out of each run. I like how your program builds up for a few weeks then I get a little recovery then jump back in. I feel like it lets me have energy to push it when you do put in speed or hills or whatever challenge. It’s been a great balance of runs while still keeping it interesting and introducing new challenges each week. Overall thank you so much for all of your super amazing coaching!
