Success is More Than Victory.
At Darkhorse Endurance, we don’t just chase PRs — we chase transformation.
These athletes came in with raw talent. What they left with? Discipline, belief, and results.
"During my first two seasons of cross-country and track, I thought I was doing everything right — chasing workouts I found online, pushing through with no real guidance. It wasn’t until I started working with Stetson that I realized what I was truly capable of.
His training wasn’t just organized — it was intentional. Every rep, every mile, had a purpose. He adjusted my plan based on my life, my goals, and my mental load. And he didn’t just coach me — he believed in me.
In just six months, I dropped over 90 seconds in the 3200m. I went from unknown to 4th at state. One year later, I’m a state runner-up, running 9:55. Stetson didn’t just change my training. He changed my identity as a runner."
"Stetson is more than a coach. He’s a mentor, a motivator, and one of the most committed people I’ve worked with.
His leadership and knowledge have helped me consistently improve — and most importantly, stay healthy and confident. My progress speaks for itself. With Stetson in my corner, I know I’m just getting started."
"When I started with Stetson, my only goal was to get faster. What I got was so much more. He helped me understand running — how to train, how to race, how to improve week after week.
He’s there when I need answers, adjusts training when life throws curveballs, and pushes me without burning me out. I’ve dropped nearly 40 seconds in the mile, and I’m only getting better."
