Description
As a lifelong runner, Coach Chris uses running as a soothing ritual, a social anchor, and a competitive outlet. He raced varsity cross-country and track, found his stride in middle distance, then ventured into (ultra)marathons: these experiences sharpened his feel for balancing speed and endurance. After earning a PhD in biochemistry, Chris eagerly began his career as a scientist-coach. Chris blends sports science and athlete data to provide a periodized plan with clear workouts and deliberate progressions. He also offers support across pacing, strength, fuelling, recovery strategies, and heat training. Whether the goal is general fitness, improved performance, or to finish an ultra, every program is tailored to your history, schedule, and physiology. His athletes value his insightful guidance and adjustments. In coaching, as in the lab, Chris prioritizes clear goals, thoughtful build-ups, and direct feedback. Plans are built around real life—work, family, and recovery—so you can train consistently and race with confidence. "I’ve really appreciated Chris as a coach. His thoughtful plans are easy to follow, and I can genuinely see my improvement. His open communication allows my training to fit my schedule and adapt when life gets busy." *** Based out of the Canadian Rockies, Chris enjoys every opportunity to adventure and explore his own limits right in his own backyard.
