Finish line syndrome
“I get to be here.”
That’s what I reminded myself at mile 20, when the heat, humidity, and cramps made every step a negotiation.
I wasn’t even half way there.
The plan I started with didn’t matter anymore. What mattered was the work — months of preparation, Of testing the limits of what I could endure.
This is what training is: a conversation with yourself under pressure. It’s not about a perfect plan. It’s about knowing you’ve prepared for whatever reality hands you.
That’s what I coach.
Not shortcuts. Not confusion disguised as variety. Just purposeful work — designed to reveal exactly what you’re capable of.
If you’re ready to find that out for yourself, you get to be here too.
About the Founder
I’ve learned a lot about endurance — but not just from races or gym sessions. My understanding of it was shaped in the Army Infantry.
Endurance wasn’t optional.
It was wearing 70 pounds of gear in triple-digit heat. It was working 18-20 hour days because the mission demanded it. It was finding the next step forward, even when everything else said stop.
That experience taught me that endurance isn’t just about distance or time — it’s about choice and persistence. It’s about who you become when things get hard.
I carried that mindset with me. I kept testing myself: in ultramarathons, on trails, in the way I train and coach today . . .
You can train it. Chase the small wins. One session, One mile, One decision at a time.
That’s what Last Mile Nutrition and Fitness is about:
