Guidance that feels personal, practical, and performance-driven.
Hayden Frey helps endurance athletes connect the dots between movement, strength, and race-day performance. That means fewer guesswork decisions, clearer priorities, and training that makes sense for the athlete in front of him.

Process
What working together looks like.
Clear structure matters. The coaching process is designed to keep you moving forward without burying you in complexity.
Assess the athlete
We start with your goals, training background, injury history, current routine, and where you tend to get stuck.
Build the plan
Your program is tailored around race demands, strength needs, recovery bandwidth, and the realities of your weekly schedule.
Adjust as you go
Coaching is not static. We make updates based on progress, feedback, fatigue, travel, and whatever the season throws at you.
