Specialties
I specialize in beginner to intermediate road/track running. I am experienced with 5k’s-to marathons.
Philosophy
My philosophy is your race, your pace. I write training plans tailored to fit your running goals and lifestyle. There is no one size fits all plan. We are all different and we do not run for the same reasons. If you are a beginner and do not know where to start or if you’re focused on setting your next PR, I am here to assist you!
Coaching Experience
I have been running for over 20 years. I am experienced in coaching online, in-person, and creating training plans to fit anyone’s needs.
About Me
I am passionate about running and I have been running over 20 years. I have maintained my passion for running over the years because running makes me feel great physically and mentally. Also, I enjoy encouraging and help others reach their running goals.
I am very involved in the running community. I am an ambassador for Black Girls Run and we host consistent quarterly and national meetups. I am also a pacer for races in my local area for the half marathon distance.
Outside of running, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I supervise a therapy program for troubled youth and a mobile crisis team at a local healthcare agency. I have five beautiful children, and Jesus Christ is the center of my life.
Big Influences
I know people may state well known/famous runners as their big influences, but my biggest influences are the local coaches in my community. The local coaches in my area have been instrumental in mentoring and providing guidance during my running and coaching journey.
Race History
The first 5k race I completed was on the Island of Guam in 2008 and that’s an experience I will never forget. I was so proud of myself for completing my first race. Since then, I have raced several 5k’s, 10k’s, half marathons, and two marathons.

Smithie Johnson –
Lisa is an excellent coach with a passion to help you reach your personal running goals. Having Lisa helped me gain the consistency I needed in order to become a better runner. She is prompt in providing feedback after each run making any necessary adjustments for future runs. Lisa will adjust runs/dates in Final Surge due to travel or any unexpected event. I highly recommend Lisa to coach you through your next race.
