"Training with Nick has been one of the best decisions of I've made in my running journey. In my late 40's, I ran a personal best marathon with a time of 2:55, and I felt stronger, faster, and more in control than ever before. Nick's coaching goes far behond just workouts. He helped me improve recovery, and stay focused and motivated throughout the process. He's incrediblely knowledgeable, but also personable, supportive, and genuinely invested in your goals. Working with Nick not only made me a better runner, it made the entire experience more rewarding and enjoyable."

"My Florida Trail FKT wouldn't have been possible without Coach Nick. On Day 4, when I was struggling immensely and debating quitting, he flew in, immediately ran 5 miles with me in the middle of the night, quickly diagnosed an iron deficiency and strategy errors. Within 36 hours, he had me completely back on track to break the record. Nick's elite training plan, meticulous thoroughness, and unparalleled expertise were game-changers and ultimately saved my World Record."

I enjoy our frequent calls and he has become a coach and friend. As an avid adventure racer and XTERRA competitor, I've seen significant improvements: swimming faster and feeling stronger. Nick's knowledge is phenomenal"

"I cannot say enough good things about Nick. I have been working with him for a while now, and he’s unlocked amazing results. His attention to my goals as well as my physical and mental potential and limitations helped develop a training plan that fit my skill level. He developed improvements in my performance (strength, speed, and endurance) and skills within the first month of training. When injuries and surgery threaten training, Nick altered my plan, allowing me to work and race around my
injuries. This allowed me to continue building, and when the opportunity was right, incorporated working to develop my injured areas, shortening my physical therapy time. Nick also took the time to coach me, providing strategies and motivation as well as asking questions that helped to analyze my performance and the event(s) and provided pivotal feedback that assisted in altering and improving training, strategies, and goals.
Thank you Nick for your support and genuine kindness.

"Nick helped me prepare for my first marathon. I had two months to prep for it and his weekly plans for me were perfectly structured to fit my needs. Before creating my running plan he checked with me in advance about any previous injuries I had, what my strength and weaknesses were with running, and got to know me and my goals for the marathon. We had weekly check ins to ensure I was progressing and if any adjustments were needed, those were reflected in the following weeks plan. He helped me not only complete my marathon, but even accelerated my recovery. I was prepared and confident going into my race. Hiring coach Nick was definitely a great decision and I would recommend him to anyone looking to be a better endurance runner.

"Nick has been instrumental to my successful completion of multiple 100+ mile races in ultra running, cycling, and mountain bike racing. Working in special operations for years, I've rarely had a steady schedule nor routine. Nick always adapts my programming to adjust with my rapidly changing and dynamic lifestyle. He keeps me fit, ready, & sharp to tackle anything. He is great at keeping my perspective dialed-in and advising me when I get ahead of myself trying to do everything. I worked with Nick both in military operations and now personally as athlete-coach. I value his dedication and attention to detail."
