Every Wild Dog training plan includes strength work — because strong runners are consistent runners.
Run-specific strength training programs are built to help you move better, stay injury-free, and unlock more power in every stride.
This isn’t about lifting for the sake of lifting. It’s about learning how to train with purpose — using the gym to support your performance on the road, trail, or track. You’ll improve form, prevent overuse injuries, and build the stability and strength your body needs to handle high-volume running — without burning out.
Whether you’re returning from injury, new to strength work, or looking to improve running economy and durability, our programs help you get stronger in the ways that actually matter for runners.
Build a strong and functional foundation that benefits all athletic endeavors.
This program goes beyond just building muscle. We incorporate exercises that improve balance, coordination, and agility, making you a well-rounded athlete.
Flexibility to train on your schedule, at home, at the gym, or anywhere with an internet connection. No need to adjust your life around gym hours - train like a pro whenever and wherever it works for you!
With Wild Dog Athletics, remote coaching feels anything but remote. You'll have a dedicated coach in your corner, guiding you every step of the way towards athletic success.
We’ll assess your training history, injury background, and goals to build a smart foundation.
You’ll get a progressive strength plan delivered via app, synced with your running schedule. This includes warm-ups, lifts, mobility, and cues.

The Wild Dog Write-Up is my weekly newsletter where I share what I’m learning about running, strength, mindset, and the messy middle where real growth happens. From the gym to the trail, I break down what’s working (and what’s not), offer coaching tips you can actually use, and reflect on what the miles are teaching me.
As a seasoned athlete with over a decade of experience, I understand the challenges and rewards of pushing your limits. I've been in your shoes, experiencing the highs and lows of training, the thrill of competition, and the relentless pursuit of improvement. This firsthand knowledge fuels my passion for coaching and empowers me to guide you on your athletic journey.
My coaching philosophy is deeply rooted in individualization. This involves a continual and indefinite process of deepening my understanding of you as an athlete - your strengths & weaknesses, how your body responds to different training methods, what excites you and motivates you - so I can provide you with the most effective and efficient coaching and programming possible.
