THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
→ You’re over 40 and taking your training seriously for the first time — or the first time in a long time.
→ You want a program built on evidence, not trends — designed for real life and the long haul.
→ You’re done with quick fixes and ready to build something that actually lasts.
ABOUT RICHARD
I’m Richard Skolasky — ACE Certified Personal Trainer, plant-based athlete, and the person who signed up for the Baltimore 10-Miler ten years ago before I was anywhere near ready to run it.
That decision changed everything.
Built for Distance is the coaching practice I wish had existed when I started. Grounded in the ACE Integrated Fitness Training model. Built around three pillars: Movement, Strength, and Recovery.
Based in Baltimore. Working with adults who are in it for the long game.
WHAT WE'RE BUILDING TOGETHER
→ Online coaching for adults 40+ in the Baltimore area and beyond. Foundations and Momentum programs starting at $400/month.
→ A growing library of evidence-based articles on movement, strength, and recovery. Written for the long game. New content every week.
→ A weekly dispatch going deeper on the science behind sustainable training. Drop your email below to get it.
→ An iOS training app built specifically for the way adults train - in alpha testing now.
