1:1 training and group training are similar more than people think, but working in a group setting has reinforced these three things for me.

The movements need to be simple so members can actually execute them with skill.

As an instructor you have to be teaching first. Cheerleading second. Then instructing the class. It matters and members notice shades of all three attributes.

Environment. It has to be welcoming, positive, dynamic, and real. If the vibes suck your class sucks.

One week in and I’m absolutely loving the energy and people of @theworkshopvt ! I look forward to improving and bringing the juice each week 💪

Recently @runnersworldmag reached out with some questions regarding strength tests, specifically how these tests can be used for those looking to increase their mileage.

The tests I contributed? I got you…

1️⃣ Goblet Squat 50% of your bodyweight for 20 reps.

This is a great test of relative strength not only in the legs, but for your core as well.

2️⃣ Broad jump atleast your height.

A good broad jump goes a long way in assessing your ability to produce force (jump) and receive force (landing)- two essential components that need to be efficient for an uptick in running miles.

Very cool to see such a popular platform embrace strength training 🙌

1:1 training always leads to 1:1 conversations. These are three that I had last weekend with different clients that I wanted to share 🙌

This was a fun one, @mensjournal 💪

Thanks for the invite @eyeofthekryger_ - it’s always a pleasure helping with your articles.

Train ya core like you would any other muscle. Rinse. Repeat.

My first run was a 10 minute baseline Garmin Run workout. It smoked me.

After a few years of running and helping others find a starting point in to running this run:walk progression seems to be a clear favorite.

Not because it’s hard. Not because it’s easy. But because it’s do-able. It’s repeatable. It also shows a clear path of progression - which is incredibly motivating.

If you’re looking to start (something new), keep it do-able. That’s the secret sauce 🙌

I built my training business “offline” which is useful when my kiddos summer vacation comes around or I just want to check out for a little bit.

Summer 2026 was a good one- lots of writing for major publications like @runnersworldmag and @mensjournal, finished renovating my studio, ran a few hundred miles, and spent some quality time with my family.

Fall is back and so will be my semi-regular-but-still-inconsistent fitness content 😂

See you around 💪

Magnificent Bastards Last Man Standing by @racemozey

1 mile every 20minutes with 600+feet of total elevation each loop.

I finished 9th with 24 miles. My calves gave out and had me looking like a baby deer going up the hill on my last loop 🫪.

More importantly, I was able to do this with my wife (Jen) as my crew. There’s an unmatched feeling of doing hard things with the people you love. It was an awesome experience from start to finish.

Epic shout out to @ricoandme (and Rico) and @kim.russ_vt for holding down the fort with Sauce and Emerson. It took a village to get this race on the books and I appreciate everyone’s support 🫶🏼

RES Powder Run in the books with Twin 💃🏼

Two grueling miles with plenty of obstacles made this terrain pretty technical to navigate. We both made it through 🙌. This might be a distance PR for Sauce, so glad I had the opportunity to pace her for this one 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ taken in Richmond Elementary School by @purposeful.strength
