Our Mission

Refine exists to improve your current training habits through  improved movement efficiency and running intensity to help you achieve your goals.

“The real purpose of running isn’t to win a race, it’s to test the limits of the human heart.
”
— Bill Bowerman, Oregon University Track Coach

What you can expect When you work with Refine:

  • Research based training programs
  • Education on the purpose of different workouts and when to use them
  • A plan to provide direction to achieve your goal
  • Confidence to execute your plan through completion
  • Improved running efficiency
  • Improved durability in an effort to reduce injuries
  • FUN!
  • Refine is NOT physical therapy to fix current injuries.
    • If you are injured, please seek the intervention of a physical therapist or physician.  (I know some great ones!)

I get this question a lot from patients. “Why could my back pain come from a hip problem?!?!” Easy, allow my stick figure drawing to explain. If your body cannot get the range of motion it needs from one joint, there’s a good cha
Work/life/(hobby/training/running) balance. I’ve thought about this a lot lately. In the past few months I’ve traveled thousands of miles with my family. I learned a new computer system at work. I am still learning how to live full ti
