The Running Factor Series

The Running Factor: Breaking the Injury Loop

This book is for runners and athletes who want to prevent injuries before they even happen — so they don’t get stuck in the frustrating cycle of recurring pain or stalled progress.

Inside, you’ll learn how to climb the performance ladder safely:

1. Awareness – recognize your body’s signals before they turn into problems

2. Control – develop stability and strong movement patterns

3. Consistency – build habits that support long-term progress

4. Confidence – trust your body and your training

5. Intensity – safely add speed, power, and volume when your foundation is ready

At the heart of the book is the Break the Injury Loop Actionable Checklist — a step-by-step system to know when to push, stabilize, or slow down, plus a downloadable checklist you can apply immediately.

This isn’t about training harder. It’s about training smarter, building a foundation, and moving with purpose, so you can stay in your sport longer and perform at your best.

The Running Factor: Before the Burnout 

The essential guide for parents and coaches of youth athletes

Youth athletes face more than just games and practices—they face physical and mental stress from training, competition, and recovery demands. I wrote Before the Burnout as a strength and conditioning coach because I’ve seen too many young athletes push their bodies and minds too hard, leading to fatigue, injury, and burnout before they reach their potential.

This book gives parents and coaches a clear, actionable framework for supporting young athletes through proper training, smart recovery, and sustainable performance habits. 

Drawing on my experience building strength, resilience, and confidence in youth athletes, Before the Burnout helps adults recognize warning signs of overtraining, foster healthy routines, and create a safe, effective path to growth without sacrificing the athlete’s well-being.

Whether your goal is to maximize performance, prevent injury, or keep kids engaged in training long-term, Before the Burnout equips you with the tools to build strong, resilient, and thriving young athletes—before stress and overtraining take their toll.
