Run Fast, Go SLO
The SLO Prep Impact
“As a high school athlete who does cross country, soccer and track, he has seriously been the best coach ever. During my soccer season, he helped juggle my track training and competing my best during soccer”
— Sidney Logsdon
“Joaquin is clearly someone who has trained/competed at the highest levels and is able to translate that knowledge to his runners as a coach. We set our goals for a Boston qualifier time and developed a schedule that would balance my work/social life with the demands of training.
I had not been running much before, so as I started to ramp up in mileage I developed several mini injuries. Joaquin was quick to respond. He provided alternative cross training sessions to maintain fitness as well as strength exercises to prevent the injuries from coming back in the future.
The workouts he provided all have a purpose in mind and kept me engaged with my training.
Come race day, we beat our original goal of a BQ time by 10 minutes!”
— Henry Tadeusiak
“He has consistently proven himself to be an incredible coach. Meeting his trainees where they are and steadily bringing them to the next level with just the right blend of positivity and accountability”
— Natalie Hedlund
“His running expertise has helped me improve run times, stay healthy, and really start to enjoy running. He’s also very knowledgeable in recovery and injury prevention - two huge pieces I was missing from my toolbox”
— Simon LaCapria
“I was previously a D1 athlete for cross country and track before working with Joaquin. Once I quit the team, I was not sure if I made the right decision, and trained on my own for a bit to prepare for a track meet. Going with Joaquin to prepare for it was definitely the move as he was more accommodating through injuries and sickness”
