I specialize in helping runners in their 30s, 40s, and beyond become the best ultrarunner they can be by avoiding injuries and holistically enabling optimal physical and mental conditioning.
You can go the distance, but your specific training needs change as you age, and you may need to improve elements in and out of your running. These are things generic training plans can’t accommodate, often leading to injuries or poor performances.
Coaching ultrarunners also requires specific knowledge that a general running coach can’t provide. Not only are you different as an individual, but your ultra goal also needs individual attention, such as preparing for a 50-100K, a 100 to 1000-mile race, a Fastest Known Time (FKT), winning a Backyard Ultra, a 6-, 12-, or 24-hour race, or a virtual challenge.
I’ll help you face your challenges in the mountains, desert, across roots and rocks, or on other continents in weather extremes.
I’ve developed The Ultrarunning Performance System to take into account the various factors that will influence how you need to prepare optimally and train; It considers how YOU fit into the equation – your strengths and weaknesses, not just as a runner but also in your mindset, your lifestyle and more.
Holistic Run Coaching brings out your best ultrarunning by combining your best training, physical and mental fitness, and life.
I loved having the accountability to stick to the plan. I loved that Amie was able and willing to comment on efforts.... even if it was to say pull back a little.
She is very communicative and feedback is helpful. I loved not having to think about planning my next step, especially long runs, which was great.
I had very different goals and was able to reach them. I PR’ed my 1/2, Full Marathon, and 24-hour races!

The Ultra Performance System is a complete distance run training system led by CEO and Head Coach Amie Dworecki.
Coach Amie is a multi-certified coach specializing in Marathon and Ultrarunning performance and a board-certified holistic wellness coach, personal trainer, and former yoga instructor. She has combined these elements into a Holistic Performance System and has helped hundreds of clients succeed over the past 30+ years.
This System is different – instead of just looking at a running plan, you get a far more comprehensive focus on The Five Elements of Holistic Training that helps you avoid injury while improving your performance, life, and health.
Coach Amie is also an accomplished ultrarunner who has run and coached others for varying distances, terrain, and elevation across all seven continents with expertise in helping you realize your best running and life.
Whether your goal is to run your first ultramarathon or improve upon your previous performances, you get the ability to work one-on-one with a pro coach and use a new holistic, progressive training model along with the education, accountability, and support to transform yourself into the athlete you envision.
It’s designed to challenge you to gradually perform at your highest level, so you get a thorough program that considers you, your running, and your life holistically to help you reach your personal goals.
Coaching is available online/remotely, so you’ll have access to your coach and your training calendar and plan anywhere.
The Ultrarunning Performance System is a proven method that comprehensively month-by-month, helps you with distance running success, so you feel great in your running and life.
You’ll start with your distance running analysis and testing, so you get to know exactly where you stand. You’ll get a full report of your results with an actionable plan of how you can improve.
You’ll also get a holistically focused questionnaire so we can see a total picture of what may be influencing your running: including things like your sleep, stress levels, nutrition, outside influences, and mindset.
You get customized training segments, strategies, and the ongoing plan, support, and accountability you need to make progress. You get feedback from an experienced, certified distance running and holistic health coach, so you know exactly what to do to improve.
You also get a personal online workout calendar, so you save time and effort by already knowing what you will do and having it planned out for you in advance. Your workouts are available online or conveniently by mobile app, plus emailed to you daily if you choose.
You get your questions answered, so there is no confusion. You get schedule adjustments based on data, experience, AND your feedback, and a program founded on holistic health, so you avoid injury and overtraining.
You get information on your best fueling to perform, so you feel great. You’ll find options customized to your needs incorporating strength, core, and yoga, so you get balance in your training.
You’ll also get form drills to run faster with more ease, stretching/flexibility plans to avoid injury, and warm-up and cool down properly.
You’ll use mental focus techniques and a mind-body viewpoint so you can train and run at your best and more.
Hey all – Coach Amie here… As both a pro distance running coach and a holistic health coach, I view training, and YOU, differently.
You’re more than just a set of numbers from a watch.
With The Holistic Training System, you’ll get your best training, but you also get your best running when your body, mind, spirit, and life are in the picture.
Don’t work with a coach who doesn’t understand you, doesn’t know how to meet you where you are, or treats you like a number.
Because this all has to do with your running performance – and how well you feel in life. When you leave things out of the picture – it’s no wonder that 90+% of runners get injured, or feel burned out of running and frankly, are not happy.
Instead, get your best performance… and as a bonus – you begin to feel amazing outside of running too.
You can break through plateaus, avoid injury and transform your training, fitness, and total running performance.
You get the motivation, encouragement, and accountability to make your running dreams a reality.
You get the support and answers you need so you can perform your best.
You get solutions and guidance from 30+ years of experience helping clients reach their goals, multiple coaching certifications, and a belief in YOU.
Do you want to run faster or farther than you ever have, break a longstanding personal PR, qualify for Boston or run your best ultra?
You’ll get an experienced push, or signal to pull back when needed.
Instead of a generic plan or one-sided coach, The Holistic Training System puts all of YOU toward your goal, so you maximize your time, money, effort, and life.
Thank you very much for getting me here. You have been spot on with adapting/adjusting to me and my running/training style and I could not be here right now without you... the training adjustments and race advice definitely saved me from myself. You are a GREAT COACH!
