Stop Training in the "Gray Zone."
Most runners are stuck in a cycle of training too hard on easy days and too easy on hard days, leading to plateaus and injury. Using a “Smarter, Not Harder” philosophy, I use real-time power data to ensure every mile has a purpose. We don’t just guess; we use the same precision trusted by Olympic-level elites.
Meet Coach Burger: The Clinical Edge
I don’t just write training plans; I engineer resilient athletes. With 25+ years of coaching and 20+ years as a Doctor of Chiropractic, I combine deep biomechanical knowledge with elite data. My “Smarter, Not Harder” philosophy is forged from my own finish lines—including 5 Marathons (BQ), an Ironman Triathlon, and numerous Age-Group Podiums across running, cycling and multisports.
For over a decade, I’ve mastered Stryd power to eliminate the “gray zone” and fix the common Easy-Hard imbalance. Whether you are chasing your first finish or a personal podium, I provide the clinical precision and data-driven strategy needed to outrun your limits.I spent my career treating injuries; now I spend my time preventing them by building resilient, data-driven athletes.

Positive Reviews
I signed up with Coach Burger to train for my first half marathon, and then went on to run a full marathon with his training. The experience has exceeded my expectations. His training plans are thoughtful, well-structured, and tailored to both performance and long-term development. Under his coaching, I’ve placed top 3 in my age group in two half marathons, including an age-group win at the Hoover Dam Half Marathon.
Coach Burger is knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in his athletes’ success. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their running and compete at a higher level.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Have questions about our coaching services, plans, or process? You’re not alone! Our FAQ section provides clear answers to the most common
Q1. Are the training plans truly customized?
Yes. Every training plan is fully individualized based on your current fitness, training history, performance data, goals, schedule, and lifestyle. We do not use templates or generic programs. Your plan evolves continuously as your fitness and availability change.
Q2. How soon after signing up will I receive my first plan?
Once you sign up and complete your initial athlete questionnaire, we typically deliver your first week’s plan within 48 hours. This time allows your coach to thoroughly review your background and design a safe, effective starting point.
Q3. What platform do you use to deliver the training plans?
We useTrainingPeaks to deliver and track your daily workouts. This allows you to easily view
your schedule and upload data from your GPS watch.
Q4. What equipment do you require?
At a minimum a GPS watch. A runner specific watch such as a Garmin Forerunner x45 or
higher, Coros or Wahoo watches are also excellent choices recommended. Also I strongly
recommend a footpod Power Meter such as Stryd.
Q5. Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan later?
Yes. We understand your needs might change. You can adjust your subscription tier (upgrade
or downgrade) at the beginning of any billing cycle. Just notify your coach one week prior to
your next billing date.
