About Us
Boulder Performance Training Group
Boulder, Colorado has long been a popular training base for distance runners from around the world. Filled with an abundance of trails and a community knowledgable about endurance sports, it is that perfect elevation for training; high enough to get the benefits of altitude but not so high that it can be of detriment to year round athletes. At the Boulder Performance Training Group, under the direction of coach Brad Hudson, the athletes are focused on reaching the highest levels of international competition.
Hudson first started training at the age of 10 with Mark Wetmore, founder of the Mine Mountain Road Department in Bernardsville, New Jersey. After successful high school and collegiate careers he competed on the road racing circuit for many years earning a PR of 2:13:23 at the Cal International Marathon. As a coach, Hudson is always studying training and learning from as many different systems as possible. The one thing that stands out from both his personal running and coaching experience is just how very individual the sport is. While there are many ways to get results, it is the job of both the athlete and coach to work together to find the way best suited to each particular athlete. The coaching philosophy draws from a number of different methodologies. Hudson's major influences include the following coaches and athletes:
