The Problem

Most runners are stuck in a cycle that never ends.

You show up. You put in the miles. But you keep hitting the same wall — injury, plateau, burnout.

The problem isn’t your effort. It’s that most training plans only tell you what to run — not how to build a body that can actually handle it.

When strength, mobility, fueling, and run programming aren’t working together, you’re always one hard week away from a setback. Kinetic changes that.

The typical runner’s trap
1
Push Harder
Stack more miles. Add another workout. Trust the plan blindly.
2
Feel the Pain
Something tightens, flares up, or breaks down mid-block.
3
Back Off & Lose Fitness
Rest, recover, watch weeks of work evaporate.
4
Start Over — Again
Back to square one, wondering why it keeps happening.
The Kinetic System

Four pillars. One complete system.

This isn’t a mileage plan — it’s a performance system built around your physiology, goals, and schedule. Every piece works together.

Smart Running Programming

4 data-driven runs per week tailored to your threshold, recovery rate, and race goals. Every session has a clear purpose — no junk miles.

About the Coach

I’ve been exactly where you are.

I grew up in Nashville — not naturally athletic. Small, uncoordinated, living off junk food. In college, I lost the plot completely. But during my senior year, I made a decision: see what happens if I actually give my full effort to something.

I got sober during COVID, started running, and committed to something bigger than myself. My first marathon took 4 hours and 41 minutes. I had no idea what I was doing — ran too fast, fueled wrong, finished completely wrecked. But I was hooked.

Over the next few years I battled a tibial stress fracture and a torn meniscus. I studied strength training, performance science, and nutrition obsessively. And eventually, I ran a 2:52 marathon — not through talent, but through building a complete system.

That’s why I built Kinetic — to give runners one system that actually works. Running, strength, mobility, and nutrition all working together, so you can train like the complete athlete you are.

FAQ

Common questions.

Still on the fence? Here’s what most runners ask before their first call.

Book a Free Call →
What experience level do you work with?
+

All levels — from first-time half marathoners to Boston Qualifiers to athletes returning from injury. The system is fully personalized, so whether you’re running 15 miles a week or 50, there’s a track built for you.

How much time do I need per week?
+

Most athletes run 4 days per week and do 2–3 strength sessions of 30–45 minutes. Daily mobility takes 5–10 minutes. We build around your schedule — not the other way around.

What platform is the training delivered on?
+

Training is delivered through TrainingPeaks, which syncs with your GPS watch. Messaging and community happen in Discord. We’ll walk you through the full setup at onboarding.

Do I need a gym for the strength work?
+

Not necessarily. We can design programs for a full gym, a home gym with limited equipment, or even bodyweight-only. Access is worked out during your discovery call.

I’m coming back from an injury — can you help?
+

Yes — and this is one of our specialties. Our Return to Run track is PT-led by Anne Elizabeth, who will assess your movement, design your rehab program, and guide your progressive return with milestones every step of the way.

How is Kinetic different from a generic plan?
+

Generic plans tell you what miles to run. Kinetic tells you why you’re doing every session, manages your recovery, builds your strength, coaches your nutrition, and adapts week-over-week based on how you’re actually responding. It’s a complete performance system, not a template.
