Carmel produces some of the most competitive high school runners in Indiana and as well as some of the quickest adult runners in the state. If you're training in Carmel and want results that match that standard, this is coaching built specifically for you.

Coach Justin Roeder works with Carmel-area runners at every level: high school athletes competing in cross country and track, adults training for the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, and anyone chasing a Boston Qualifier on the flat, fast fall courses central Indiana is known for.

What makes this different from training on your own or following a generic app?

Carmel High School runners face one of the most competitive conference environments in Indiana. Your school coach is managing 100+ athletes during the season. Private coaching fills the gap by building your aerobic base in the off-season, addressing form flaws before they become injuries, and putting you in position to make a genuine leap by August.

For adult runners in Carmel, the story is similar. Most runners plateau not because of lack of effort, but because their training isn't structured around their specific fitness, schedule, and goal race. A personalized plan changes that.

Coach Justin brings credentials that are rare at the private coaching level: former NCAA Division I Head Coach, Indiana State Cross Country Champion, and professional triathlete. He has trained 188 NCAA-level athletes, helped 65 runners qualify for Boston, and guided 1,300+ athletes to first-time half and full marathon finishes.

Coaching is available both in-person for Carmel-area athletes and fully online for runners who prefer remote training. All athletes train on TrainingPeaks with individualized plans aligned to their race calendar.

Whether you're a Carmel High School runner trying to make the varsity jump, an adult targeting a PR at the Monumental, or a parent looking for expert guidance for your athlete, the first step is a free 15-minute call.
