Alpenglow Endurance

Alpenglow Endurance Coaching is led by Kelsey McGill, a UESCA-certified ultrarunning coach, endurance athlete, yoga instructor, and mental performance specialist with 20+ years of experience in sport. Based in Bend, Oregon, Alpenglow offers more than just training plans—we help athletes build resilience, balance, and confidence on and off the trails.

With a background in Counselor Education and certifications in both coaching and yoga, Kelsey takes a holistic, process-oriented approach that blends structured training with mental skills development. Whether you’re preparing for your first trail race or chasing a 100-mile finish, Alpenglow is here to support your growth, keep running fun, and help you connect with the “why” behind your goals.

At Alpenglow, we believe coaching is a collaborative process. Training should reflect not only your goals, but also your lifestyle, mindset, and unique needs as an athlete. We meet you where you are—celebrating strengths, addressing challenges, and adjusting along the way—so you can train consistently while staying healthy and engaged.

Running is more than splits and mileage; it’s about cultivating a sustainable, meaningful relationship with the sport. By integrating physical training with mental and emotional skills, we aim to help you run with joy, adaptability, and confidence for years to come.
