Hi I'm Eric

Training that fits real life.

I’m Eric Schroeter—ultrarunner, coach, and elevator mechanic. I know what it means to train around work and family.

My approach is straightforward: do the work that matters, stay consistent, and prepare for the race you’ve chosen. Running, walking, hiking, fueling, and recovery all have a job to do.

Whether you start with a plan or work with me directly, I want you to understand your training and arrive better prepared.

See you on the trails,

— Eric
