Energetics Coaching for Ultrarunners

​Endurance isn’t just about mileage.

It’s about metabolism. It’s about how your body converts fuel into forward motion—hour after hour, climb after climb. That’s the science of energetics. And that’s where we start.

At energetics.studio, I coach endurance athletes to master the systems that power performance. No gimmicks. No fluff. Just proven methods grounded in human physiology, elite-level training principles, and precision coaching.

How We Train
  • ATP Mastery – Your body runs on adenosine triphosphate. More ATP = more sustainable power. Everything we do builds your capacity to generate and use it efficiently.
  • Aerobic Capacity – The engine room of endurance. We build it big, durable, and fatigue-resistant. If this isn’t maximized, nothing else matters.
  • Lactate Dynamics – Forget outdated ideas about “lactic acid.” We train your system to buffer, recycle, and thrive on lactate—so you can hold intensity without breaking down.
  • Movement Economy – Efficiency is free speed. We focus on biomechanics, form, and durability so you waste less and move better—hour after hour.
  • VO₂ Max & Breathwork – Your oxygen ceiling can go higher. With protocols adapted from elite endurance and freediving, we train your breath as a performance tool.
  • Fuel Flexibility – You’ll learn how to become fat-adapted without compromising intensity. Nutritional insight meets metabolic conditioning.

Who It’s For
  • Ultrarunners ready to stop guessing and start training with purpose
  • Athletes seeking a coach who understands the science and the sport
  • Performers who want resilience, not just speed
  • Those who know endurance is a long game—and are ready to play it smart

The Energetics Edge
I train systems.
Because endurance doesn’t come from “trying harder.” It comes from knowing how your engine works—and how to make it stronger, smarter, and more efficient.
This is coaching for athletes who want to understand their power.
ATP is the currency. I teach you how to earn it, spend it, and sustain it—over miles, mountains, and months.
