Coaching
I began my transformation from fat to fit in 2006. Since then I have finished 35+ marathons, 40+ Triathlons from Sprint to Ironman, and now help athletes achieve their goals as the Head Coach of Lifelong Endurance & Peak Performance Running.
My Mission
As an Endurance Coach, my mission is simple - I want to help you become the best version of yourself. I bring my personal transformational experience and knowledge to the table. I inspire athletes to become the highest and best version of themselves by applying the fundamental principles of training, guiding athletes through the application of the small details. Most importantly, I help athletes understand the importance of how to take ownership of the final outcome.
Cost
I believe that athletes require 4 things to grow to become the best version of themselves and ultimately allow me to do my best work :
1) Communication 2) Accountability 3)Discipline 4) Analytics & Feedback
This requires time for the development of both a plan, and a weekly, daily, and monthly outlook on where the athlete currently is, and where they want to go.
I work with athletes by 1 month, 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month contracts. This commitment to the process is what allows me to see consistent and repeatable results. If you expect to make a 15%+ improvement in fitness in your first month - I am not your coach. I focus on fundamentals first, and build athletes from the ground up into functionally strong, and confident to tackle any surface/ any distance.

REviews
“Andrew and LE really present a customized approach and meet their clients where they are at. I just started running 2 years ago and have worked with Andrew for a year. I’ve never considered myself an athlete and he’s really helped me change that mentality. In that year I dropped 45 mins off my marathon PR and 19 off of my half. His workouts have really pushed me physically and mentally he’s helped me progress faster than I would have ever on my own.”
“My first marathon I hit the wall pretty hard, 3:44. My second, I didn’t bonk but wasn’t fast either, 4:00. A couple of months after my second marathon I started training with Andrew. At first we talked every week then we paired it down to every other week. My goal was a PR and to qualify for Boston. With Andrew’s training plan and knowledge I really noticed everything begin to change. I had a lot of self doubt. He coached me through all of it. We put a plan together for race weekend and I followed it precisely to a 28 min PR, 3:16 and BQ. It’s a lot of hard work but it’s all worth it. I can’t recommend Lifelong Endurance enough.”
“I can’t recommend Lifelong enough. I’ve worked with them for over a year now and in that time I’ve gone from fresh off hip surgeries and not running at all to finishing a 200 mile endurance run (with multiple ultra finishes along the way). The entire team at Lifelong is passionate, professional and insanely qualified to help guide you from where you are to where you want to be. However lofty the goal, you’ll be given smart and realistic advice on how best to achieve it.”
