SPECIALTIES
I specialize in coaching clients interested in half and marathon distances, especially new runners who are interested in expanding their volume and training. I have experience with both road and trail runners. I have many years experience working with individual new to exercise, those experiencing anxiety with regard to exercise, and individuals looking to advance their current level and achieve new milestones and personal bests. I am a personal trainer and yoga teacher in addition to being a run coach, and have worked with individuals of all ages and stages of life – from elementary aged to seniors in assisted living, from post-partum moms to retirees with dad bods, and in between.
In addition to preparing a run plan for you, I can offer strength training routines, yoga practices and mindfulness exercises to round out your training.
PHILOSOPHY
My coaching philosophy is based on four values: Breathe * Move * Play * Love
Breathe * I approach running, training and coaching from a holistic perspective, with the goal of integrating running with the rest of your life. I don’t want running to be a source of stress or overwhelm, and we can work together to reduce anxiety and approach running with a perspective of mindfulness.
Move * I firmly believe that exercise is medicine, and movement revitalizes our body and mind. I want you to continue moving, running and walking for a lifetime! Together we will move – hopefully farther and fastest than you’ve moved before!
Play * Your goals matter to me, but we will also make running a joyful process! In our coaching relationship, I want to help you not only excel at running, but enjoy the process along the way!
Love * Running takes time, and we want to make sure that the time you invest in your running endeavors is shaped by love – your love of running, your love of progress, your love of the community, your love of the outdoors, your love of your support system.
