Custom marathon coaching and a custom playlist built around your sound. Because what you hear on a long run changes everything about how you train.
Generic playlists for generic runners. That's not you. You train to bands that hit different, the kind of music that turns a 20-miler from a grind into something you actually want to do again.
Music and miles. Together. 🤘
3–5 runs per week synced to your watch. A custom playlist built for every phase of training. You handle the running; I handle everything else, including the soundtrack that gets you through it.
Best for: Runners who want consistent guidance and accountability without needing high-touch support
Best for: Runners who want a more complete system, higher accountability, and performance-focused coaching
Initial communication starts via email. Derek will reach out to set up a conversation before onboarding.
Here's exactly what working with me looks like, from the first conversation to the finish line:
I'm Derek, a runner, a metalhead, and a UESCA Certified Run Coach. I've been running to heavy music my whole life and I believe the right soundtrack changes everything about how you train.
I build custom training plans and custom playlists, because what you hear on your longest run is just as important as the miles that built up to it. Sleep Token on a long run hits different. BMTH when you want to quit hits different. That's the point.
My coaching is built around the music you already love. We match your training phases to your sound. Every type of effort gets a playlist built for it: easy runs, long runs, tempo sessions, and race day. 🤘
— Travis, client who ran a marathon
DM me on Instagram or shoot me an email. Tell me your race, your training history, and what you're listening to. We'll build the plan and the playlist together. 🤘
