In a small group setting led by an ALTITUDE staff member, we explore, discuss, apply, and are challenged as we study together.

Want to learn how to eat wisely, race smarter, rest better, and know those little things that will set you apart from the pack? Take down some notes from our staff speakers who have taken down records and find your potential.
SECONDARY WORKOUT
One run just isn’t enough sometimes. Each day we have time for two runs or you can use the time to loosen up and get stronger.

Share stories and laughs around the dinner table as you enjoy more of our delicious all-you-can-eat homemade food.
altitude session
Coaches, elite runners, and staff capably and vulnerably teach on topics helping you learn how to be more than a runner, but a follower of Jesus through the ups and downs of all aspects of life.
Other Activities
Want to get away for a day? We take a day trip each week to some of the most beautiful and amazing places nearby: Yosemite National Park, Mammoth Mountain, the Devil’s Postpile National Monument & Rainbow Falls. On a night off we’ll go worship under the stars or relax in some natural hot springs.

Resides in: Boise, ID
Graduated from: University of Tennessee (B.S. in chemistry, 1995), Stanford University (Ph.D. in chemical physics, 2001)
Running experience: I started running the spring of my senior year in college because I thought it would be “fun” to do a marathon before I graduated. Less than 2 months later (and woefully underprepared), I ran one and discovered I’d been a runner in denial for most of my life to that point as I fared much better than I had any right to expect given my lack of training. I then moved out to the West Coast for graduate school, where I found plenty of people faster than me to train with and learn from. I’ve been running and racing ever since.
