Get Leaner, Get Stronger, Run Faster, Run Longer

Nutrition, Strength, Endurance, and Mindset Coaching for Runners.

Any of this sound familiar?

You work out every day, but the scale won’t budge.
You train for a marathon... and somehow gain weight.
You count every calorie, track every bite — and still feel stuck.
Your clothes don’t fit the way they used to.
You avoid the mirror.
You feel like you’re on a never-ending rollercoaster of hope and disappointment.
Some days, it feels like you’ve lost control.
You slip back into old habits.
You beat yourself up for not having more willpower.
You start to wonder if something’s wrong with you.
You know you're capable of more — but you just don’t know what to do next.
You want to be a stronger, healthier example for the people you love.
And you’re so ready to stop struggling and start seeing real results.

Here's the Truth:

There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken. And you’re definitely not a failure.

You’ve just been following the wrong plan — a one-size-fits-all approach that was never designed for you, your body, or your goals.

What you need isn’t more willpower…

You need the right strategy — and expert guidance to help you follow through.

That’s exactly what coaching gives you:

A personalized plan that actually works — and a coach who’s with you every step of the way.

I Get It — Because I’ve Been There Too.

I struggled for years trying to lose weight.

I tried every diet you can imagine — and none of them worked.

They all had the same advice:

Eat less. Run more.

So I ran more miles and ate fewer calories.

And the more I ran, the hungrier I got.

I was tired, frustrated, and miserable — and still wasn’t losing weight.

Sound familiar?

That approach doesn’t work — not for long, and definitely not for runners.

The truth is, you can’t outrun a bad diet.

And you can’t restrict your way to lasting results.

What’s Possible When You Have the Right Plan and a Coach in Your Corner

When you finally get the support, structure, and strategy you need, here’s what you can expect:

✔︎ Lose weight and keep it off for good — no more yo-yo dieting, deprivation, or restriction

✔︎ Build a strong, unstoppable mindset — the foundation for lasting change in every part of your life

✔︎ Feel energized all day long — no more mid-afternoon crashes or dragging through your workouts

✔︎ Say goodbye to constant hunger and cravings — feel satisfied and in control around food

✔︎ Fit back into your favorite clothes — and finally love what you see in the mirror

✔︎ Think clearly and stay focused — no more brain fog holding you back

✔︎ Change your body composition — burn fat, build lean muscle, and look the way you’ve always wanted

✔︎ Become the healthiest version of yourself — physically, mentally, and emotionally

✔︎ Sleep deeper and wake up refreshed — better rest means better results

✔︎ Run stronger and faster — improve endurance, performance, and overall athleticism

✔︎ Feel genuinely happier — because when your body feels good, everything gets better

"The feeling of running with a clear head and so much energy is just so amazing!"

“For years I had such a hard time losing weight and it always made me feel so negatively about myself. I used to believe that if I didn’t go for a run or didn’t hit a goal by a certain date I was a failure.

Patrick's support and guidance helped me to stay on track, even when I didn't feel like it, and I’ve learned how to stop the negative self-talk too. I learned how to become a fat-adapted runner and the feeling of running with a clear head and so much energy is just so amazing!

It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Patrick. I have taken in so much more than I anticipated and expected - not just about running but also about how I live my life and my whole attitude.”

This Is About More Than Just Losing Weight...

This is about creating real, lasting change — in your body, your mind, and your life.

✔︎ Breaking free from the cycle of doing the same things over and over and expecting different results

✔︎ Rewriting your relationship with food, exercise, and your body — for good

✔︎ Becoming the healthiest, strongest version of yourself — from the inside out

✔︎ Mastering your mindset and building habits that stick for life

Because it’s not just about hitting a number on the scale.

It’s about becoming the kind of person who never has to struggle like this again.

"Now I know I AM the kind of person I’ve been aspiring to be"

“When I found Patrick I was struggling with emotional eating, feeling like I was past my age window for fitness goals, and didn’t feel like I was the person I continually chase after. Now I know I AM the kind of person I’ve been aspiring to be, I just needed to believe in myself!

I have gained awareness of my triggers, poor habits, and thoughts that don’t serve my goals. Incorporating journaling, weightlifting, and focusing on hydration have been key factors that helped me get to the 10-pound weight loss I’ve achieved."

-Shannon

Three Things You Need to Succeed...

1.

Knowledge

You need to learn all the strategies so you know exactly what to do and how to do it. You need guidance through this process, every step of the way.

2.

Support

You need someone to have your back, someone who will encourage you and keep you motivated, someone there to help you stay on track.

3.

Accountability

You need someone to hold you accountable for your actions so you do what you say you're going to do and are more likely to stick to your plan.

Coaching Delivers All Three.

"I no longer have sugar cravings and have taken control of my eating habits once and for all."

“For years I tried so many other "diets" that weren't sustainable and resulted in regaining the weight that I lost. I was tired of feeling hungry, deprived and unsure of what nutrition choices to make.

Patrick’s coaching program helped me find a new eating lifestyle that I can naturally sustain for a lifetime. I’ve lost 30 pounds in 3 months and feel more confident than ever that I am capable of doing hard things! I no longer have sugar cravings and have taken control of my eating habits once and for all.

One key piece of knowledge I gained was to trust the process and not give up on myself. No one will reap the benefits more than you if you just keep moving forward! The support, encouragement and accountability was the best part of the program for me. Patrick is a walking testament that this lifestyle works – so I trusted him, did the work and everything else fell into place!”

THE COACHING PROJECT

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Here's what's included when you join The Coaching Project

3 or 6 MONTHS OF PRIVATE ONE-ON-ONE COACHING WITH ME
You'll get bi-weekly one-on-one coaching with me personally to help you stay on track, figure out what’s working and what’s not, and course-correct as needed. The people who get one-on-one coaching with me get the best results. This is perhaps the most powerful part of this transformative coaching program.

LIFETIME ACCESS TO GROUP COACHING
Why lifetime access? The longer you stick with something the better your results. It takes time to break old habits and develop new ones and I want to be there with you every step of the way to help you get through all of the tough stuff. Besides, I don't want you to ever have to spend another cent on this problem.

WEEKLY GROUP COACHING
This is the other very powerful component of The Coaching Project. You get the support of others just like you who are going through the exact same stuff. We share wins, we celebrate progress, and we support, encourage, and inspire one another to reach our goals.

ONLINE SELF-PACED TRAINING LIBRARY
You’ll get immediate access to my online training library so you can start learning what to do right away. You can go through the lessons at your own pace and whenever it's convenient for you. I will occasionally assign lessons as part of your weekly homework, e.g. how to do my strength training program for runners.

SUPPORT VIA EMAIL AND MESSAGING
You get 24/7 access to me via email and a messaging app called Voxer. I always strive to get back to you as soon as possible. This way you always have a lifeline you can throw out there any time of day or night and you’ll know that I'm always there for you.

PRIVATE PODCAST CHANNEL
All of our group coaching calls are recorded and archived onto a members-only website so you can always watch the replays at any time. Plus, I upload all the replays to a private podcast channel. You can listen to the group calls while you’re out running and you’ll never miss a thing! This is super easy and convenient.

PRIVATE MEMBERS-ONLY FACEBOOK GROUP
The Facebook group is private and just for other members of The Coaching Project, so you’re surrounded by people who share similar goals like losing weight and running faster. This is an awesome group of people who are all DOING THE WORK of actually becoming leaner, stronger, and the healthiest and most badass versions of themselves.

"This program has helped me break through those limiting thoughts and take control over my life."

“Before finding Patrick I was not in a good place – I was struggling mentally, drinking alcohol and eating garbage. I felt like other women were faster and stronger than I was.

This program has helped me break through those limiting thoughts and take control over my life. I started eating real food and lifting weights. I have become more determined overall, I’m a stronger runner, I’m 20 pounds lighter, I ran a 50K, and I even did an Ultra Ragnar!

Trusting the process and gaining the confidence to keep moving forward helped turn this into a lifestyle change. I now have goals that I feel I can meet and feeling weak is in the past! I feel physically and mentally stronger than ever. You are one in a million and you changed my life!”

-Kelly

"I have a completely different mindset about everything in my life. This whole process has been transformational!"

“Before I started the Running Lean program with Patrick, I struggled with consistency and commitment. I really just wanted to feel better in my daily life but I couldn’t figure it out myself.

What I thought I needed was a change in my diet, but what I really needed was help understanding how my mindset was affecting me. That’s exactly what I got from coaching with Patrick. I feel completely empowered from this program and the self-confidence I’ve gained has cascaded into many other aspects of my life.

I’m excelling at work, I’m a better spouse and parent, and I’m fully committed to being the healthiest version of myself. I have more clarity and I feel more engaged with the world around me. I have a completely different mindset about everything in my life. This whole process has been transformational!”
