What my athletes say
“Coach Packard has been instrumental to my success as an endurance athlete over the past 5 years! He is highly knowledgeable and is willing to go above and beyond for his athletes. Through his guidance I have achieved every measurable goal I have set for myself, from setting my 5K and 10K PRs and qualifying for the Boston Marathon to racing my fastest half marathon and now ultra prep! Under his guidance I have gone from a 3:07 marathoner to sub-2:45, and I feel confident that my best is yet to come.”
Payson Nichols
“I never was really a runner. I prefer to ski and surf, but the training Trent has me doing for 10Ks and half marathons during my down season, and the lifestyle changes required to feel good running that hard, has unlocked a new level of endurance that allows me to enjoy my primary activities that much more!”
Carl Hanson
“Before training with Trent, running made me uncomfortable, physically and mentally. Even as a personal trainer, I was convinced I wasn’t meant to be a runner; my confidence was in strength training only. That changed while working with him. His programming was straightforward but clearly guided by deep knowledge. He pushed me when I needed it and told me when to back off, and he planned around the other activities I love while I kept progressing. Finishing a 5K with my fastest-ever mile, with Trent cheering me on, is one of the physical achievements I’m most proud of.”
