Carson Lane

Precision-built training from triathlete to D1 runner.

I grew up doing competitive swimming and triathlons and then transitioned to running during high school. With proper coaching and dedication to the little things, I eventually achieved my goal of running at a Division 1 Power 5 school. I bring that same patience, structure, and belief to every athlete I coach.

Strengths: middle-distance, technical feedback, and building sustainable weekly rhythms.
Coaching vibe: clear, organized, and supportive with honest accountability.

Strengths: race strategy, mindset tuning, and keeping the work fun but focused.
Coaching vibe: energetic, direct, and locked into athlete goals.
