If you're ready to take ownership of your training and stop guessing at what works, Pioneer Coaching is exactly what you're looking for.

About Pioneer Coaching

My name is Ben Kinley, one of the Race Directors for Pioneer Ultra Races, but before that, I spent years coaching at the collegiate level and working with athletes across a wide range of abilities and backgrounds.

I hold a Master's degree in Exercise Science and a USATF Level 3 Endurance Certification, and I'm committed to staying current with the latest research in endurance training. I believe performance comes from more than the miles you log each week. Our approach is holistic. We look at training load, recovery, lifestyle, and the science behind why certain methods work, so you can make the most of the time you have available.

How It Works

We start with a conversation, virtual or in person, to make sure we're a good coach/athlete fit. No pressure, just an honest discussion about where you are and where you want to go.

If we decide to move forward, we'll build a comprehensive training plan together, tailored to your goals and your life. The aim isn't just to get you to the finish line, it's to leave you with a deeper understanding of your own training so that when our time together is finished, you can coach yourself more effectively and think critically about every decision you make as an athlete.
