Performance. Enjoyment. Longevity.
I coach athletes who want to be strong for life.
I offer personalized coaching for midlife athletes who care about sustainable fitness, long-term health, and staying capable through the changing seasons of life.
Training is built around real constraints (time, recovery, work, family, and health) without losing structure or purpose. Programs develop fitness, endurance, strength, skills, and confidence, with an emphasis on consistency over years, not just a single season.
Coaching extends beyond structured training plans. I support athletes in making thoughtful decisions around goals, events, recovery, and long-term sustainability. This includes navigating setbacks, adapting to change, and maintaining perspective through the highs and lows of sport and life.
Coaching also includes integrated guidance around strength training, mobility, recovery practices, nutrition habits, and supportive wellness tools that help athletes move well, recover effectively, and maintain a healthy relationship with training over time.
Based in Bend, Oregon, and serving athletes nationwide.
Cycling Coaching
Context-aware cycling coaching that supports the full arc of an athlete’s training, recovery, and life demands.

Strength Training
Custom strength training programs designed to support performance, resilience, and long-term health.
Strength training for active adults who want to feel capable and durable. Programs are designed to complement your sport, support injury prevention, and build strength that carries into daily life.
Hi, I’m Kristen
