But You’re Unsure

You have a goal in mind but you don’t know how to get here

You don’t know how to balance training with real life

Tailored - workouts fit your assessment results, goals, equipment and available time to train.

Foundational - workouts are rooted in science and research, not just a fancy workout that makes you sweat and feel sore.

Holistic - we prescribe plyometrics, soft tissue releases, warmups, discuss mental strategies and assess nutrition.

Backcountry Lifestyle - our programs are designed to build your BMD (bone mass density), overall athleticism and resiliency so you can not only crush your race PRs, but also yes to life adventures without hesitation.

Our Bold Summit Framework is the difference you’re looking for

What being a Bold Summit Athlete looks like

  1. Holistic Assessment -

    FMS (Functional Movement Screens), RRA (Ready to Run Analysis), gait analysis, aerobic testing, C02 tolerance, VDOT02 score calculation, nutrition and fueling, race-course analysis, needs analysis, historical training data analysis and DPT evaluations are all apart of your onboarding and monthly check-ins to identify what you need to be successful.

  2. Plan -
    Use your assessment data to create tailored warmups, endurance workouts and strength workouts. We discuss your annual goals, block goals and what needs to change outside of training to improve performance, like fueling strategies and overall load management. Everything is loaded into the runDNA app. You’re workouts are emailed to your daily, run workouts downloaded to your Garmin, you are able to put an RPE on your workouts and communicate with us on how they went, what you want to changed, etc.

  3. Have Fun & Show Up -

    We take the guess work out so all you have to do is show up and let us know how workouts are going via the app. Our athletes are busy with their families and careers. We want training to be sustainable for your family and improve your overall quality of life.

  4. 1:1 Check In & Repeat -

    Every 5-6 weeks, we carveout out 60 minutes every 5-6 weeks to meet 1:1 via phone, Google Meet or in-person if you are local to Madison, WI. We discuss what’s going well, your next training block and what needs to be changed to improve your performance. Beyond discussion, we re-assess movement patterns and go over new warmups and exercises.

Reviews

  • Genevieve, Endurance Athlete

    Diana has been amazing for my half marathon build. As a new runner, she’s helped me understand the best way to train and get stronger while preventing injury. So thankful for her support and guidence!

  • Vince, Strength Athlete

    Diana’s 1:1 coaching is incredibly helpful. I love the workouts and nutritional guidance. I’ve already seen an improvement in my strength and body composition.

  • Greta, Strength Athlete

    Working with Diana has been a game-changer. Her knowledge of body mechanics, how the body should move and how to correct it is on a high level. The exercises she gives are easy to fit into my routine and are effective, providing immediate relief and noticeable differences in my training.

  • Elliot, Strength Athlete

    I had a bucket handle meniscus tear and struggled to get back to normal from regular PT. In just one month, my progression has been a night and day difference. My athleticism has improved dramatically and my strength is already 90% pre-injury. Her collaberation with OnwardPT has accelerated improvements in detailed movements and mobility.

  • Wade, Endurance Athlete

    Diana was an excellent coach for my half marathon training. her tailored fueling plan was spot -on, helping me sustain energy and perform my best during the race. her insights were practical and easy to apply! Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgable coach!

About Us

I’m thrilled you’re taking the bold step to invest in a coach. Your story, goals, and background are completely your own—and your training should reflect that.

Before founding Bold Summit Coaching, I was on track to pursue my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. But as I worked through applications, I kept thinking about adult athletes with big dreams who felt stuck—unsure how to train, struggling with recurring injuries, overwhelmed by cookie-cutter plans, or confused about how strength training fits with endurance work. I realized it didn’t have to be this way. That’s why I started Bold Summit Coaching: to deliver truly individualized coaching that helps you stay healthy, set ambitious goals, smash your next PR, or return to sport after injury or postpartum.

I bring over seven years of coaching experience to every athlete I work with. My career began at Texas Christian University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Movement Science. As a collegiate rower and strength & conditioning intern at TCU, I spent two years honing my craft. After graduation, I joined a private athletic facility in Wisconsin as a strength coach, helping people regain strength after injury, achieve peak performance, and transform their bodies. Plans to coach overseas were derailed by COVID, but that pivot gave me the chance to do what I’m most passionate about: coaching endurance athletes privately and, now, building Bold Summit Coaching.
