USMC veteran. Agency, family, middle-school XC. The miles fit in what’s left.
I’m Alex Baker. I live and train in Enterprise, Utah — a small town at about 5,300 feet. I moved here for a town I could afford, cooler air than the valley, and mountains I actually want to run in.
The training on this site exists because the day is already full. I run a small marketing agency. I’m married. I coach 6th–8th grade cross country. Running sits in the same day as all of that. Some days the stack holds. Some days one piece takes the day. The block has to survive both.
Typical week: speed on Wednesday, long run Saturday, Sunday off.
Where the endurance comes from
I ran cross country and track in high school. Right after that I went into the Marine Corps and deployed to Afghanistan. Long work with honest feedback is still the part I trust.
Why I coach middle school
These athletes are growing into their bodies. You can see the physical change week to week. You can also see them learn to talk to the voice in their head when the workout gets hard. That second part is the job. Their practice is for them.
This site
Steal the week. Or have it rewritten.
