Performance Coaching

Have a big, audacious goal? Performance Coaching untaps the full potential of Backroads Endurance by bringing every training service together.

A remote, high-touchpoint, and goal-oriented coaching relationship.

Elite Run Programming

All you need is a goal, desire, and work ethic. We do the rest. 

Specializing in:
- 800m through Ultra distances
- Middle school through Masters

Unlimited communication with your coach.

Recovery Coaching

This data, trended over time and paired with your subjective feedback, allows us to make educated adjustments to your training.

This lets us keep pushing the needle with less risk of over-training.

Performance Nutrition

In order to adapt to training, nutrition and recovery must be dialed in.

Work with a certified Sports Registered Dietician who uniquely understands the demands of high school, college, and professional distance running.

Performance Strength

Move beyond basic prehab or maintenance work and lift weights like the pros. 

Heavier weight means more return on your sweat-investment. These lifts drastically improve running economy by increasing rate of force development, increasing leg stiffness, decreasing ground contact time, and reducing injury risk.

Real-Time Injury Management

Maximize training consistency by minimizing days lost due to injury.

Unlimited access to Virtual Injury Consults and PT text/phone communication. 

​Address injuries as they happen and avoid the traditional medical system hamster wheel. 

Load Management

Your coach maps out your training week to optimize your run and strength efforts.

Real-time training adjustments made for whatever life throws at you - illness, travel, stressful school/work events, and so on.

Core & Hips Program

Most elite runners are doing core & hip work. It's been a long-time staple, and for good reason. 

Core training involves strengthening structures of the hips, pelvis, and spine. The act of running itself also does a great job of strengthening these structures, however the low impact, high repetition nature of these core exercises build that durability with less impact. So they're a great supplement!

It can also be argued that a strong and fatigue-resistant core will improve running economy by decreasing pelvic drop & trunk shifts while helping to support overall leg stiffness. 

Another positive of this kind of work is that once you adapt to it, you can perform this up to 3-5x per week without a big impact on your overall fatigue.

Marathon Strength Program

The 2 drivers of fatigue in a marathon distance are 1) nutrition/energy depletion, and 2) muscle damage. 

This program aims to delay the rate of muscle damage by building strength-endurance in the muscles heavily used over 26.2 miles.

Plyometric Program

Perhaps the best form of strength work you can do is build durable, springy tendons.  ​ ​Price - ​$45

Plyometrics Program

Running is a lot of work for the body. Luckily, we have tendons that do a lot of the work for us. In fact, upwards of ~70% of our pace can be attributed to the passive energy that our tendons provide. 

Passive energy means that our body is not having to actively provide energy via ATP synthesis > muscle contraction. Passive energy is free energy! It's part of the reason humans are so naturally inclined to running - we're mechanically efficient on two legs. 

Plyometrics training is important for 2 main reasons:
1) it helps strengthen these tendons, improving their resistance to injury
2) it teaches us ideal motor patterns for using these tendons effectively

This plyo program is meant to build springiness in these tendons so that you can maximize your passive energy system.
