A holistic approach to running: blending the knowledge of a Physical Therapist with the training principles of a coach.
Jason helped me drop over 30 minutes off my marathon personal best! He's very accessible and I appreciate how he isn't afraid to make changes on a day to day basis.
We use three core values to assess an athlete and create an individualized program: physical value, training value, and personal value. Our job as as coach is to blend these values together to get the most out of the athlete.

The 3 Values to a Successful Coaching Relationship
We blend these three core values using the following formula
Training Value + Personal Value + Physical Value = Performance
High + High + Low = poor performance/ injury/ plateau (avoid)
High + High + High = marginally improved performance (where we usually are)
High + Low + High = large improvement (ideal)
Low + High + Low = maintain (used to avoid first scenario)
High + High + Low = poor performance/ injury/ plateau (avoid)
High + High + High = marginally improved performance (where we usually are)
High + Low + High = large improvement (ideal)
Low + High + Low = maintain (used to avoid first scenario)
