Personalized coaching

personalized coaching

Note: Kurt is not currently taking on any new athletes as his coaching roster is full for 2026. If you are interested in training support or adventure/race prep help, please reach out opportunities for personal consultations. 

I offer personalized coaching for endurance mountain bike racers with the overarching objective of helping you meet your goals while keeping training simple, fun, and efficient – that’s been the overarching approach since I began coaching athletes in 2015. I can help you with preparation and execution of anything from 50-mile marathons to 24-hour lap races to multi-day self-supported bikepacking races. I also recognize that while some cyclists thrive on a diet of structured workouts, others might prefer to prioritize riding enjoyment in conjunction with training goals over strictly regulated efforts and prescribed training hours. 

My approach has helped get riders onto the top step of podiums in everything from grassroots events to the 24 Hour Solo World Championships, as well as podium finishes, records, and personal victories in the Tour Divide, Colorado Trail Race, Arizona Trail 300/750, Highland Trail 550, the Iditarod Trail Invitational, 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo, National Ultra Endurance Series 100 milers, XC events, single-day ultras, and more . . . all while enjoying the process.

With that in mind, here’s what I offer . . .

advanced coaching program

This program offers the level of race preparation that Kurt himself would go through in the months leading up to any ultra – specific training goals and workouts, careful consideration of gear selection, mental preparation, and detailed race execution planning. Here’s what’s included:

  • Personal evaluation and initial consultation to identify goals, history, experience, motivators, etc.
  • Daily training plan created on a 1- to 2-week basis built around specific athletic goals and other life commitments
  • Guided training zone identification for training by power, heart rate, or perceived exertion
  • Recommendations about bike setup, gear selection, self-care, general event-specific nutrition, mental preparation, course-specific considerations/strategies for targeted races and goals
  • Weekly email exchanges and one telephone consultation per month (if desired; not including initial consultation; additional consultations discounted 30%)
  • Regular review and analysis of training data in TrainingPeaks (heart rate or power)


Price: $400 per month (No setup fee; 3-month minimum. Please contact Kurt if you’re interested in this coaching program.)
