Coaching with Mino
I live in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, coaching runners and other endurance athletes online wherever they train.I've been an endurance athlete since I was a teenager, when my love of bikes led me to an elite level of road racing. Now, to the great surprise of that cyclist kid, I have thru hiked the PCT and morphed into a trail runner competing in events up to 100k. A love of the outdoors and endurance sports is the obvious through line, and my transition to running began an investigation into training theory to go beyond the understandings I had inherited from my cycling past. It also led to realizations of the way that coaching had been negative or let me down in the past (I hope that you haven’t experienced this, but some who went through competitive athletic programs will understand!). Taking those lessons, I now offer coaching with the aim of supporting my athletes’ performance goals through cutting-edge training theory and their long-term love of sport through an attentive and holistic coaching relationship.
What's included?
-Initial introductory video or in-person meeting (if you’re local). The value of coaching is as a relationship, let’s get to know each other and your training!-Day-by-day training plan and training log, updated weekly based on your feedback and files from your training. This is custom to YOU and where you’re at right now, while keeping your long-term goals in focus.-Unlimited casual communication via text, email, or your training log. The more feedback the better to get to know you as a unique athlete, hone in your training, and overcome challenges as they arise.-Monthly phone call, video call, or in person meetings by appointment, plus pre-race planning calls. Coaching is way more than a training plan; I’m on your team for all your questions about training and racing.My standard rate is $200 per month, but I provide discounts for young athletes and for financial need. Don't hesitate to ask.
