In it for the

Long Run

Coaching for wherever you’re starting.

Meet Your Coach

I’m Gabe. Running didn’t just change my life - it taught me how to show up when things get hard.

I’m an ultra-marathon runner drawn to self-discovery, nature, and the quiet strength that comes from testing limits. Four years ago, I ran my first ultra. What once felt impossible became a doorway to something bigger. Layer by layer, I shed self-doubt and built confidence through consistency and perseverance.

That’s what I bring into coaching.

I’m here to get you to your finish line - your first mile, your first race, or the goal you’re not sure you’re ready for yet. You don’t need to feel confident. You don’t need to feel ready.

We’ll start where you’re at.

Miles Ahead is more than coaching - it’s a place for people who want to move forward, even when they’re unsure.

Because every journey begins the same way:

one step, then another.

miles ahead stories

JACE

What started as a casual Reddit post turned into a life-changing leap. Jace committed, trained, and finished his very first 50K - proof that sometimes all it takes is a little belief and a nudge in the right direction to discover what you’re truly capable of.

Troy

Troy aimed high - a 100 mile race in just six months. With heart, grit, and relentless consistency, he turned a dream into reality and showed that when you commit fully, the finish line becomes a mindset, not just a destination.

Michael

Even an injury couldn’t hold Michael back. With patience and determination, he rebuilt his strength and went on to crush the SF Marathon - a reminder that setbacks don’t define us. How we respond to them does.

Miles

Miles didn’t just extend his distance - he set a personal best at the SF Half Marathon while doing it. Running farther and faster, he embodied the spirit of growth: steady progress, honest effort, and joy in the journey.

Hunter

A lighthearted joke during a bachelor party in Joshua Tree turned into something real - Hunter signed up for his first marathon because… why not? And the best part? The same smile he had at mile 17 was the one he crossed the finish line with. Proof that joy can carry you farther than you think.

Madison

No stranger to running, Madison set her sights on finishing her first half marathon in under two hours. With 10 weeks of consistent training, she stayed focused, put in the work, and crossed the line in 1:58 - goal achieved.

Becca

In San Francisco, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge at least once is practically required. Becca chose to do it during her first half marathon. Rain? No problem. Slip on the bridge? Kept going. Lost toenail at mile 12? Still smiling. And she finished faster than any of her training runs.

briggs

Briggs had just wrapped a 14 mile long run when he signed up for his first marathon. Early on, there were questions - about pace, patience, and why slowing down was part of the plan. On race day, he executed flawlessly, beat his goal, and proved that what he needed had been there all along.
