Personal Coaching


When you're ready to take your training and performance to the next level, it's time to get a coach. A personal coach can review your history and customize a training schedule that works for you: maximizing your strengths, addressing your weaknesses, and keeping you healthy. Coaches keep you accountable and pick up on issues that you might overlook. Here's a short list of coaches we know well and recommend. They aren't PRC employees and set their own rates.

 


Jake Stout

Jake achieved All-America honors in track and XC at Willamette University. He is a physical therapist with degrees from Boise State & Washington. Jake coaches runners at Portland's Roosevelt High School. He offers coaching through jakestoutpt.com.
