Our Coaches
Lindsey McDonald
Lindsey is a coach and mountain athlete living in Flagstaff, Arizona. Born and raised in the Midwest, she found her passion for wild places much later in life. Her coaching career began with 5 years of USATF youth track program development, mentoring kids in finding their footing in our sport. In 2019, she discovered trail running and fell in love with the challenge and creativity required to thrive on many types of terrain. Though her day job is in marketing, Lindsey nerds out on physiology and training theory. In her free time, you'll find her listening to science podcasts, reading new research findings, or pursuing backcountry adventures via foot, bike, or rope.
With 15 years of coaching experience, Lindsey loves exploring potential through flexible and well-designed training systems and lifestyle interventions. Her training relies on regular evaluations of your response to stimulus and maximizes natural ability while elevating weaknesses. Lindsey enjoys helping athletes explore race and adventure options and setting goals that are both motivating and personally fulfilling.
