Runner’s Feedback
Coach Packard has been instrumental to my success as an endurance athlete over the past 5 years! He is highly knowledgeable and is willing to go above and beyond for his athletes. Through his guidance I have achieved every measurable goal I have set for myself, from setting my 5K and 10k PR’s and qualifying for The Boston Marathon to racing my fastest half marathon and now Ultra prep!
Under his guidance I have gone from a 3:07 marathoner to sub-2:45, and I feel confident that my best is yet to come.

I never was really a runner. I prefer to ski and surf, but the training Trent has me doing for 10ks and half marathons during my down season, and the lifestyle changes required to feel good running that hard, has unlocked a new level of endurance that allows me to enjoy my primary activities that much more!
