Phased training schedules that grow with you. Each schedule is different and adapts with our knowledge after each season. We worry about the end result and how to get you there. You just worry about what’s on the schedule for the day.
Doing hard things with other people is where the real magic happens. Our Tuesday workouts at Duniway Track are a key staple of our programs. We have both an AM or PM session, so you can make it work based on YOUR schedule.
Let us help out with those weekend long runs. We’ve got long-runs that include custom routes, coffee shops, and coach-supported food and drinks in and around the Portland area.
With live, virtual circuit training sessions each Monday night, you’ll get the opportunity to work on your strength and flexibility. Combine this with our regular interval training on Tuesdays and you’ll be finding a next level in your running.
Jody brings his knowledge as a coach, seasoned athlete, and performance footwear designer to Speed Shop. After a decorated Cross Country / Track career at the collegiate level, and a degree in Exercise Science, Jody returned to his alma mater to focus on the continued growth of the program. Through experience recruiting top talent and developing division one athletes, Jody began to specialize in developing athletes from the ground up with a focus on individualized training systems. But beyond the hard edge of performance oriented coaching, Jody found great interest in the psychological subtleties inherent within athletes and their motivations. Now, his coaching ethos continues to aim towards performance, but with the underlying foundation of finding community and joy within the life-long sport of running.
This ISN’T the kind of group where you get a training schedule and then head off on your own into the wilderness. Long-term goals find success with adjustments, tweaks, and a healthy dose of camaraderie. As a coach, and as a training group, we are there with you for the workouts that count, and the little questions that come in between.
