​​​"I was in a funk both mentally and physically after covid and even after things opened up I wasn't really interested in running. My husband kept signing us up for races but I only half heartedly "trained" and ended up having no fun at all on race day. We knew Martin through cross country skiing and wanted to work with him, and despite my reluctance I agreed to meet with him. Martin listened to my concerns: I felt like I didn't have time to train "enough" to do a long race and honestly I just wanted to find the fun again.
Martin put together a training plan with minimal miles but lots of quality. I could do it and the green squares on the training peaks website gave me confidence. I finished Waldo 100K with a Western States qualifier!! I never in a million years thought I'd do Western States but with Martin's encouragement I trained and finished, it was like a dream! So as a regular, middle aged, not fast trail runner/hiker, I feel like Martin got me ready not only physically but helped me find my self confidence again!"

"I've really enjoyed working with Martin Benes as my running and XC skiing coach over the past few years. What really impresses me about Martin is his ability to work with athletes at all levels ranging from novices to world class athletes. Like many recreational athletes, our "regular lives" often interfere with our training. Martin has been able to put together training plans for me that maximize results while keeping the training load reasonable. Compared to some training plans I've used in the past, Martin's coaching has gotten me to the start line feeling fresh, injury-free, and eager to take on the event."
