Dr. Jason Saltmarsh
Head XC & Track Coach • USATF Level 2 Endurance Coach• USATF Cross Country Specialist• NH XC Coach of the Year 2018
Coaching is a true partnership, not a simple transaction. For the past 25 years, I have immersed myself in both the science and the art of endurance running. I design comprehensive training frameworks that elevate athletes to their peak performance while prioritizing their long-term health. Beyond the times on the stopwatch, my mission is to mentor young runners, helping them unlock their full potential and understand the sport’s most profound lesson: true success is born from relentless consistency and hard work.
As the head cross country and track and field coach at Winnacunnet High School in New Hampshire, I’ve had the privilege of guiding talented, hardworking kids to 31 State Championships. But the hardware isn’t the point. The process is. I built this site to share that process with you.
The CoachSaltmarsh.com Mission
I created this platform to serve as the ultimate free resource library for high school distance runners and coaches. The frameworks, calculators, and strategies here aren’t theoretical—they are the exact, road-tested methods I use with my own teams every single day.
Whether you are a beginning coach looking for practice structure, or an athlete trying to figure out how to navigate a mileage increase without getting injured, you’ll find your answers here. From my library of resources to over 80+ articles and 15 interactive pacing tools, my goal is to give you the science-based tools you need to eliminate the guesswork of endurance training.

The running community thrives when we share our knowledge. I regularly speak and present at coaching clinics across the country, diving deep into topics ranging from physiological training models to mental performance and team culture.
Upcoming: I will be joining the Nebraska Coaches Association as a clinician at their Multi-Sport Clinic in Lincoln, NE, on July 21-22, 2026. Come talk shop!
