Steven Kornhaus's Endurance Sports Gear & Expert Recommendations
Content Creator & Running Coach
Colorado Springs, CODo hard things!
I’m a running and strength coach who believes great performance is built on durability, consistency, and science-backed training; not hype or guesswork. Alongside coaching, I run my YouTube channel, UltraTrailSteven, where I extensively test and review running shoes, gear, and technology in real-world conditions, giving me a practical, hands-on understanding of what actually works for athletes. With a deep background in trail and ultra running, strength development, and injury prevention, I help runners train smarter, stay healthy, and make informed decisions about both their training and their gear. Every plan I build is personalized, intentional, and rooted in proven principles, so you can build strength, confidence, and long-term resilience without burning out or breaking down.
