ABOUT PAUL
Meet Your Coach
Coach Paul’s passion is helping people find success outside of their comfort zone. Paul has completed more than 100 road or trail marathons, and set his personal best time at age 54. He’s trained over 130 people to take on the grueling rim-to-rim experience in the Grand Canyon (90% of which had never attempted anything as physically challenging before). In addition to running, Paul loves to volunteer and support others. He has volunteered at the Leadville Trail 100 multiple times as well as at 29029. Paul retired in 2021 and now spends his time traveling, training, and coaching others to help them expose more of the amazing potential that lives inside all of us.
Coach Paul is currently the 14th ranked marathoner in the US in the 55-59 age range
Coach Paul won his age group at the Leadville Trail 100 in 2019 one year after a DNF – missed goals are great teachers!
Coach Paul will be on mountain at Jackson Hole, TRAIL Park City, and Aspen in 2025

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this coaching differ from the 20 week training guide that is included with the registration fee that I already paid for?
The 20 week training plan that all 29029 participants receive is a trusted and proven way to get ready to conquer the mountain that starts about 5 months out from each event. 1-on-1 coaching is for athletes looking for longer-term and/or individualized plans that account for their specific situation. And for those who would benefit from the accountability that working with a dedicated coach entails.
Will my coach prescribe a plan that accounts for my limitations, lifestyle, and preferences?
Absolutely. Your coach will create an individualized plan just for you that synthesizes any limitations you have, schedule availability, and any other goals and preferences you have.
When does coaching start?
Your coach will reach out to you shortly after you register to set up your kickoff call with them and get you moving!
How will my coach and I communicate?
You’ll be able to text and email your coach whenever, as well as monthly 1-on-1 live calls. You’ll also be set up with a premium TrainingPeaks account for tracking your progress.
Can my monthly subscription continue after the event?
Yes, they can! We hope that working with your coach benefits your life beyond 29029 and you can continue your monthly subscription as long as you'd like.
Is there a minimum monthly commitment?
No, there is no minimum commitment.
