Who We Are
Coaching Built for Real Runners
Threshold and Beyond Coaching was founded on one belief: every runner has more in them than they know. We work with high school athletes who want more. Our goal is to meet you where you are — and take you further.
"The threshold is where most people stop. We're just getting started."
Our coaching team brings years of competitive running experience and a data-driven approach to athlete development. We don't believe in generic plans — every program we build is shaped around your goals, your schedule, and your body. From training load analysis to race-day strategy, we're with you every step.
Justin and Brad bring a combined 20+ years of coaching experience, working with athletes across a wide range of ages and competitive levels. Current coaches with the Cleveland Youth Running Club, over the course of their careers they have coached the 2025 CCCNYC High School National Champion, multiple 2025 CC OHSAA All-Ohio runners, the 2024 and 2023 Boys Ohio Youth State Champions, developed more than 25 High School and Middle School All-Americans, and led multiple Ohio Youth and MS State Championship teams and Individual State Champions.
Their coaching philosophy is rooted in collaboration, long-term development, and sustainable success. They firmly believe that consistency in training is the true foundation of elite performance. While standout workouts can be exciting, they emphasize that steady, disciplined progress over time produces far greater and more lasting results. In their view, consistent training not only drives peak performance but also promotes durability, confidence, and continued growth throughout an athlete's career.
Justin and Brad prioritize working closely with each athlete and maintaining open communication with their personal coach. By building a unified support system, they are able to design individualized programs that maximize performance while supporting proper development and injury prevention.
Their mission is simple: to provide athletes with the structure, guidance, and accountability necessary to reach their full potential — both in competition and beyond.
