Trail coaching shaped by northern California terrain

Ultra-Hunter coaches runners preparing for off-road distance and mountain ultras across the trails of northern California.

Endurance trail running brought me to the redwood, oak foothill, and dry grassland routes that define northern California. Those miles taught me how terrain, elevation, and weather change a training plan from one week to the next.

That local familiarity now shapes every coaching plan, from long ridge workouts to race-day logistics on mountain ultras.

Long trail training works when the load builds gradually and recovery is treated as part of the plan. We watch volume, descent stress, and niggles together so a runner can keep showing up.

Mountain ultras demand steady pacing and calm decisions late in the day. Mental preparation and race-day logistics are built into training, not added at the end.

Every runner has a different schedule, history, and target race. Plans are adapted to the person and the course, with direct communication throughout the season.
