Peak Run Performance Coaching
While we aim to make Moab Run the Rocks accessible to as many racers as possible, it is a challenging event!
We recommend coming to Moab with a solid base of training so you can make the most of your time with us. And that doesn’t just mean a better finishing time—the fitter you are, the more fun you will have. With focused training you can better manage the rolling and punchy technical terrain that running through the desert of Moab will bring! You will want to be prepared for the sandy trails filled with red rock and the slabs of slick rock with cambered slopes. Any runner can feel the satisfaction of successfully tackling the strenuous terrain you’ll come across in Moab, but it requires specificity in your training and preparation.
We recommend looking into COACHING services to prepare you for the challenges that you will likely encounter during a multi-day trail running event held on the slick rock of Moab, Utah. However, not every coach is well versed in the specific training required for a multi-day race like Moab Run the Rocks.
At TransRockies, we have partnered with the coaches at PEAK RUN PERFORMANCE since 2016 due to their specialization in preparing for and completing multi-day trail running events. Their coaches, Brittany Peterson, Manu Vilaseca and Carla Rodriguez Dimitrescu, are internationally certified, have personal experience with multi-day trail running events and have coached athletes from all over the world for events such as Moab Run the Rocks. These coaches are very familiar with the TransRockies race courses, terrain, and conditions you’ll encounter at the Moab Run the Rocks and can help you prepare for the challenges ahead of you!
