Experience the magic of Coach Braz's programs

Each of the 18 onsite sessions is different.
The sessions are a challenge to the athlete's mind and body.
Most important to this program -- the morning’s “work” is NOT a repeat from session to session. The terrain, the “work” -- different each session.

Coach Braz's GTD sessions are not based on a template from a book. The hour (and more) of conditioning both body and mind comes from Coach Braz's competitive running and coaching life.

Winter Running

Winter running is the foundation for the rest of your running year.

Are you trekking out with a vague sense of how much you should run, or how little?

Do you wonder about your pace?

Do you have a spring racing goal?

Do you want to run with a better sense of focus?

Perhaps some coaching would help.

Coach Braz provides personal coaching for runners at all levels who want to improve their performance or want a guided maintenance program.

Registration Form

The program is designed for runners who have a specific racing goal, or a series of races to prepare for, or want to build or maintain their running fitness.
