Race-Tested Coaching
Coaching built for people who race. Every plan is built from real race experience, tested across hundreds of finish lines.
Train From Anywhere
100% remote coaching that works wherever you run. All you need is a goal and a willingness to work for it.
Built Around Your Life
No two plans are the same. Your training is built around your schedule, your body, and the races that actually excite you.
The Problem with Going It Alone
Every Runner Hits a Ceiling
Without a Coach
You run when you can, but the schedule falls apart when life gets busy. The training plan you found online may or may not be right for you, and you won't know until race day proves it wasn't. The injuries keep coming back. The strength work never happens. You head out the door without knowing what to eat or how to pace, and somewhere in the back of your mind, you already know it isn't enough.
The injuries that slow you down aren't bad luck. The race days that don't go as planned aren't a mystery. The motivation that disappears mid-training block isn't weakness. The exhaustion that lingers longer than it should isn't just life happening. The plateau you can't push past isn't your ceiling. These are fixable problems.
A coach gives you a plan built around your body, your schedule, and the races you're excited to do. Adapted in real time when life gets in the way. Backed by someone who's crossed hundreds of finish lines and knows exactly what hard miles feel like.
Because the race is just the entry point. The goal is a life full of adventures worth training for.

Daniel Steamer
I got into coaching because I know what it feels like to find running late and realize it changes everything. That's why I built LYOA. For the runner who's tired of guessing at their training. Who wants to stay consistent but can't crack how to make it work. Who has a finish line in mind and is ready to stop going it alone.
I build training plans around your life, your body, and the races that actually excite you. Every week adapted with running and strength training built in. Using strategies I developed race by race and still use today - from first-timer to 150+ finish lines.
I turn runners into endurance athletes - built to race harder and live bigger.
