TRAINER: JEREMY INABNIT - RUN FAR - LIFT HEAVY

Jeremy is a Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Ultrarunning Coach. He is also studying Applied Exercise Physiology with a specific interest in how athletes can concurrently train for strength and endurance.

After finishing a successful season of ultramarathons including placing 2nd in the Atacama Crossing 2023, Jeremy started RUN FAR - LIFT HEAVY, a training and coaching service that strives to help people build strength and endurance for life on and off the trail. He works with athletes of all ages and experience levels to help them achieve their personal fitness and athletic goals.

At RUN FAR - LIFT HEAVY, the focus is not just on making better or faster runners, but on building hybrid athletes who are more than capable of taking on the unique challenges of a stage race. The goal is to get you to the starting line feeling confident and prepared, and to the finish line feeling strong and proud of your accomplishment.

Stage Race Coaching includes:
- Initial consultation and assessment call
- Weekly or biweekly calls
- Unlimited messaging support through the training app
- Customized running and strength training plan
- Training analysis, feedback, and program changes
- Nutrition guidance including fueling and hydration strategy
- Equipment selection support
- Race week strategy planning

"Hiring Jeremy Inabnit with RUN FAR - LIFT HEAVY as a coach was a game-changer! My pace improved, recovery time shortened, and I’ve built endurance I never thought possible. He fine-tuned my training plan, my nutrition, and helped me stay injury-free. Thanks to his expert guidance, I’m not just finishing races - I’m stronger, faster, and more confident with each step. With previous 250k stage races I was using poles, but with 12 weeks of training under Jeremy, it gave me the confidence of going without the poles and I also carried more calories than previous races which means more weight on my backpack but I still managed to stay strong and recover fast for the next day's stage. I couldn't have asked for more. I missed the trick of getting him sooner on board."

- Rafiq Karovaliya, USA (Jordan 2024)

“Working with coach Jeremy has been an incredibly rewarding experience that I can wholeheartedly recommend. His methodical approach and detail-oriented style resonated deeply with me, making every aspect of my training—from workouts to nutrition—feel tailored to my preferences. The use of a technology-based platform for tracking progress was both innovative and effective, allowing for seamless communication and flexibility around my schedule. Throughout our six months together, I felt a constant sense of motivation and creativity, largely thanks to his supportive and engaging demeanor. I’ve never felt more prepared for a competitive event, and I attribute this success to his exceptional coaching style and our inspiring conversations.”

- Scott Nagao, Hong Kong (Gobi March 2024)
