Sam Hartman
Ultrarunner, CrossFit Coach, Race Director
With Nickademus, he had such a wealth of knowledge when it came to ultrarunning that I was able to ask him endless questions about the sport, from sleep deprivation to gear choices, and he always had some experience to draw on. He took a long holistic approach to my running career while allowing me to still dabble in strength training.
During my time as a CHP client I set PRs in all my lifts: snatch, clean & jerk, back squat, deadlift. I also went from running 50k's to completing my first 100 mile trail race in 2019 and have since run numerous other ultramarathons, including races with over 10,000' of gain, which are now my main interest (vert!).
My training at CHP has varied a lot over the last few years, it's had everything from standard CrossFit workouts, long weightlifting sessions, trail runs, weighted rucks, and even mindfulness practices. I would say the best part about the CHP training is that it is diverse while still goal-focused on whatever you want to get better at.
