MEET JUSTIN KAUFY — FOUNDER, COACH, Educator, Ultra Runner

I’ve coached over 125 athletes — from first-time 5Ks to Ironman and ultra finishes. Over the last five years I’ve completed 2 full Ironmans, 22 marathons (best 2:40:51), and 7 ultra marathons across road and trail. In 2026, I’m taking on the impossible:

One Ultra Every Month.12 races. 12 battles. One relentless pursuit.

THE PHILOSOPHY →

DATA. DISCIPLINE. OBSESSION.

KEEP isn’t about motivation — it’s about mastery. I’ve learned under Olympic triathlon coaches, trained in elite camps, and tracked every meaningful metric for years. The system combines running, strength, and fueling into one high-performance formula — The German Method.

[ SYSTEM ]
[ METHOD ]
[ OUTPUT ]
  • Phased programming (Foundation → Threshold → Specificity)
  • Strength built for runners (hips, hamstrings, trunk)
  • Fueling protocols for training & race day
  • Pacing discipline & fatigue-resistance
  • Data-driven adjustments, weekly check-ins

THE INVITATION →

STOP GUESSING. START EXECUTING.

If you’re tired of running without progress… if you want systems, structure, and a coach who lives this every day — this is where you belong. Join KEEP and build elite endurance the right way.

FUELING & NUTRITION →
Real talk on how to eat, fuel, and recover for high-volume training. From maple syrup gels to carb loading science — all the tools you need to perform without burnout.
COACHING STORIES & TESTIMONIALS →

THE ULTRA PROJECT — 12 ULTRAS. 12 MONTHS. ONE MAN.

This isn’t a challenge — it’s a statement. Twelve ultras in twelve months. City, desert, mountain, forest, coast. No crew. No pacers. Just two feet, a steel mind, and the discipline to keep moving when everything says stop. Every race is documented — the nutrition, the gear, the pacing, the breakdowns and the rebuilds. The point isn’t to show what I can do — it’s to show what’s possible when you raise your standard.

“This project isn’t about perfection, talent, or chasing some highlight reel version of life. It’s about doing the work consistently, honestly, especially when it’s hard.Because that’s where confidence is built, where resilience is forged, and where people discover what they’re really capable of. The work has a way of taking care of you if you choose to show up for it. Hard things change you. Showing up creates you.”

THE MISSION →

Twelve different environments across the year — each one targeting a different system: heat tolerance, elevation, technical footwork, flat speed, and overnight endurance.

THE DATA →

Full transparency after each race: distance, elevation, avg HR, pace bands, fueling timeline (carbs/hr, sodium, caffeine), and fatigue markers. No fluff. Just truth.

THE GEAR →

Rotations that work: shoe choice by terrain, pack setups, bottle vs. flask, layering strategies, and what survives 8+ hours of abuse.

THE MINDSET →

Inside the pain cave: composure drills, micro-goal setting, crisis plans, and the routines that keep the wheels on when the lights go out.

THE NUTRITION LOG →

Every gram accounted for: pre-race meals, race-day carb targets, sodium/caffeine timing, gut-training notes, and what changes week-to-week.

COACHING THAT BUILDS MORE THAN RUNNERS.

This isn’t another cookie-cutter training app. This isn’t Runna. This isn’t a generic ChatGPT plan. KEEP Coaching is a full-service system built on years of data, elite mentorship, and real endurance experience. Because running is more than running — it’s nutrition, strength, recovery, stress management, mindset, and execution. Every detail matters.
WHY YOU NEED A COACH →

A coach isn’t here to hold your hand — they’re here to raise your standard. Without structure, feedback, and accountability, most athletes plateau. A proper coach sees what you don’t: inefficiency in pacing, gaps in nutrition, recovery blind spots, and mindset habits holding you back. The goal isn’t just to make you faster — it’s to make you complete.

THE KEEP METHOD →
  • Custom programming across running, lifting, and nutrition
  • Daily communication and data feedback (Final Surge / Garmin)
  • Recovery tracking & HR analysis for fatigue management
  • Race pacing, tapering, and fueling plans tailored to your event
  • Mindset and accountability built from real-world endurance
WHY KEEP WORKS →
Because I live it. Every program is backed by data collected through years of racing, coaching, and self-experimentation — Ironmans, ultras, marathons, and more. You’re not coached by theory, but by experience. KEEP isn’t just about fitness — it’s about evolution. You bring the effort; I bring the system.
