About Carrie Lane

My athletes provide me constant inspiration, and it is exciting to be a small part of their ability to reach their potential.  I have been a career coach, starting as a college distance-running coach, 17 years ago.  I then became a college throws coach, where I gained invaluable knowledge of how to use strength, speed, and power training to enhance performance.  I was a USA National Team coach for 3 IAAF Track and Field World Championships Teams and from 2006-09, was the personal coach for Olympic gold medalist shot putter, Adam Nelson.  In 2007, Adam won a silver medal in the 2007 IAAF World Championships, and threw the farthest shot put throw in the world in 2008.  I also coached Chad Wright, the NCAA Champion in the men’s discus in 2012 and the Jamaican national champion in 2013 and 2014. I have coached for 18 years at the NCAA Division I level, with stints at the University of Virginia, the University of Nebraska, and currently at the University of Wyoming.  My athletes achieved 23 NCAA First Team All American Awards, 4 Big Ten championships, and 9 ACC championships.  

I have found a great balance in combining my knowledge of speed/power training, endurance training, and rehab progressions as I have worked with athletes of all abilities from high school to post-collegiate runners to weekend warriors.  My own love for alpinism and rock climbing has led me to train rock climbers and mountaineers as well.  I design strength and rehab programs for all of these athletes to keep them durable and performing at their highest levels.  


I competed as a Division I distance runner at Marquette University.  After college, I explored the “power” events, and competed post-collegiately as a hammer thrower.  This unique athletic background gives me a keen understanding of both endurance-based training and strength and power- based training.    I am also an instructor for the USTFCCCA Coaches’ Academy, where I teach other coaches about periodized training program design, weight training, biomechanics, and event-specific technique.  When I'm not coaching, you can find me rock climbing all over Colorado and Wyoming.
