Philosophy
Hello! As someone who works a full time office job, I know that it can sometimes be challenging to schedule in workouts. That is why I am here, to help you find the schedule that works best with your everyday schedule. I aim to help you reach your running goals while allowing you to enjoy the process and still be able to juggle your life demands. I aim to have collaborative process to find what works best for you through routine communication.
About Me
I originally got into running after moving to a new city that I had never been to before. I quickly fell in love with running and started racing 5ks about a year after I started running. While I love running 5ks and 10ks, I also enjoy the challenge that the longer distances of half marathons and marathons bring. During the cooler months you will often see me doing my weekday runs with my dog. If it was up to him he would do every run with me, but I can’t always do that due to the heat so on non running days we go on walks.
Big Influences
I am a fan of Jack Daniels and Greg McMillan. Jack Daniels philosophy is about every run having a purpose and to have the runs progress gradually. Greg McMillan’s philosophy is that running should fit your life (not the other way around) and that everyone deserves a personalized plan. Both of these philosophies influence my own coaching and running philosophy.
