Play Better, For Longer.
Why I Built This Series & Who It's For:​
​
You've started running, riding, or both and your interested in bigger or multiple days, more technical trails and maybe even your first event or bigger race.
You might reminisce on the times you felt your strongest, but that looming injury that keeps coming back is slowing you down.
Maybe you've started going multiple hours on foot or in the saddle, but you don't quite feel as strong as you wanted on the descents.​
​
Whether big days, a long event like an Ultra, or simply preventing injury and feeling your strongest is your goal, we get there as a group! By training with structure and specificity, and above all, growing our understanding of how to move well! Because we don't want to do this for one season alone, but a lifetime ahead!
​
This series covers not only the strength and conditioning necessary to play better for longer, but it will leave you with more awareness and a much deeper understanding how to mindfully approach your movement and mountain activity.
We will structure well-balanced weeks, the way my competitive athletes would. We'll break down techniques and practices that will make you far more efficient in your activity, from skills, to breath to posture and position.
The result is more hours, more years and more moments of Flow when you're on the trails.
​​
This program is a result of years working with outdoor athletes of all disciplines, from water, to snow to technical trails. I weave practices from a world of movement and mindfulness for growing the self-awareness necessary to be our best now and for many years to come.
​
The best part, we'll train purposefully and work hard, not alone, but together as a collective with one unified love for the outdoors.
​
"The program is very well put together, and precisely targets the strengths and skills we need to really perform our best in the mountains at whatever sports we choose.
With precision and a highly skilled eye, Julian honed in on exactly where each of us needed support, personalizing our experiences in each session, making it more of a personal training experience in group format."

MORE THAN JUST
"PERSONAL TRAINING"
This is meaningful movement that lasts a lifetime.
​
Every training session begins with self-awareness.
How breath effects our position and posture.
How to be more efficient in your running technique. ​
How to position yourself for the strongest on-bike position.
More than "what" to do in the gym, but "how" to execute them effectively, the way an athlete would for sport.

FAQs:​​
What if I am unable to make one of the sessions? No biggie! Life happens and 10 weeks is a long period of time to not miss a beat. Because we are following a program, you can execute your workouts whenever you want. If you miss a coach-led session, you can do your workout alone, or chat with me about an open gym window to make it up with guidance.
I really enjoy my weekly public class. How is this different? Public class is great and I teach public classes 4 days a week. Here's the thing, they will only get you so far. Any training protocol needs a certain amount of progressive overload and specificity to create lasting growth. As much as I love public class and the group dynamic, if you are interested in progressing as an athlete and/or preventing injury we need to get more specific and overload (strategically) each week.
I'm quite new to strength-training. Will this be too challenging? It's helpful if you have some kind of structure to your workouts or training, even if only outside. The volume that we are doing is quite high at 4 days a week so if you are brand new to training, you will simply be spending the first four weeks adapting to weight training. To get the most out of this program, having already adapted to weight training will help.
4 days a week? How will I have time to play outside? I'm providing a program that works, but it does require quite a bit of volume to build up a solid base for spring/summer. With that said, your outdoor endurance days can combine training and play. Your long aerobic base day means watching the top-end during your activity. Your higher intensity day means adding some intervals to your ride or run. Regardless, it is my intention to treat your endurance days as your days outside doing what you love. Hence the structure, and not rigidity.
Tell me more about the endurance sessions... You will have two days programmed where the focus is increasing your cardiovascular endurance. These days will be structured by specifics, but not rigid. I want you to enjoy your sessions and treat them as a way to play and explore. They will include breathing techniques to more accurately train different "zones" without the constant need to refer to your watch or device. Instead of obsessing about numbers, we're training our awareness and back-checking the data afterwards.
What if I'm focused on only one sport or discipline? Regardless of your sport, strength, power, core and joint stability and having a certain amount of range of motion is necessary. With that said, this program will help any outdoor enthusiast reach their greatest potential.
I want to connect and work as a group. How do you support this? This is what makes a series or workshop playful, the people. Here's how I've committed to bringing you together during and after the program: For both your strength sessions in studio space is provided for us to work together as a group. Tuesday nights being just us and coach-led. What makes this program special is the opportunity to connect not only twice in studio, but twice outside if you so choose to train together with the other movers during your endurance session. As your coach, I will join for some of these outdoor sessions as well so that I see each of you at least once outside during the 10 weeks. We will use WhatsApp to chat and share our ideas for endurance sessions outdoors. I will continue to share what I'm up to outside after our 10 weeks together and hope you do the same.
PRE-REQUISITES:
As mentioned, this is designed for the outdoor athlete that wants to push a little harder in challenging conditions. Regardless of your sport, if it requires strength and skill I designed this program for you. With that said, you will get the most out of these 10 weeks if you have built a decent foundation already. ​ I offer private coaching and personalized programs for athletes. This is a great way to build your foundation. If you are keen on the group environment I also teach public class twice per week. These options are best if you are new to lifting or recently coming back from time off. ​ It is not my intent to intimidate anyone; but as the nature of outdoor skill-based activity requires exploring one's edge and capacity, I will be doing the same, mindfully, in this program.
