(UESCA) certified running coach with experience helping athletes with different goals and backgrounds from preparing for a personal best 5k to crushing a first ultra distance endurance race. I enjoy working with adult athletes of all ages and take a holistic approach to tailoring training, recovery, and race planning to an individual's lifestyle requirements and goals. I am comfortable working with athletes who are beginning their running journey to advanced athletes looking to improve their performance and take on ambitious new challenges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf6cfca52a65a00018c0ac3/8352e4e6-c594-4649-a4f1-ec8b00552df1/unnamed.jpeg Coaching - Charles Cai Athletics has been a lifelong passion for me. Through high school, I ran cross country, track/field, and played golf. I was fortunate enough to be recruited for golf, where I competed for Dartmouth College and was a 4 year letter winner and senior year captain while earning second team all-Ivy honors. When my collegiate career ended I discovered endurance sports as a way to fill the competitive void. I completed my first Ironman 70.3 in 2018 and shortly after finished my first marathon. I eventually found ultrarunning as the perfect activity to blend my love of fitness with my love of adventure. Helping others achieve their goals and develop a love of running keeps me motivated as a coach. As a data scientist like Will, I believe in taking a methodical approach when it comes to training, nutrition, and race planning, while being flexible and adapting when life inevitably gets in the way. I have worked with athletes training for their first half marathon, all the way to completing 100k ultramarathons. My personal accomplishments include top 15 at the Kodiak 100 (earning elite auto-qualify to UTMB), top 25 at the 2023 Leadville 100 (22:31), multiple podium finishes at Tahoe Rim Trail 55k, Dick Collins Firetrails 50, and a sub 3 marathon (2:54) When I am not coaching or mountain running I enjoy reading, playing pickleball, and skiing in the mountains. https://willtorun.com/training-plans daily 0.75 2023-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf6cfca52a65a00018c0ac3/f99c88e9-ac6e-405e-b48e-1f97e3e13585/6B2E2929-7807-4A77-B700-77412769303A.jpeg Training Plans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf6cfca52a65a00018c0ac3/2e67320b-db9f-4bbe-b40f-8e6ffa3d5949/IMG_3746.jpeg Training Plans
