PHILOSOPHY
I believe that success as as a coach comes from coaching the athlete first before the distance. That means getting to know you, your experience, your goals, the demands on your time and energy (work, family, life) before curating a training plan that will be built on your unique circumstances. I believe in progression, moderation, adaptability and most importantly minimizing and mitigating injury!
COACHING EXPERIENCE
I have had excellent success helping runners of all abilities and experience – some with as little as no experience running start their road racing journeys all the way to advanced runners seeking personal bests at various road distances. I am most recently coming off of 14 years in NCAA Division 1 Cross Country and Track & Field coaching where I helped the majority of my athletes achieve personal bests in multiple events as well as coach 9 new individual school records and multiple conference champions.
ABOUT ME
I am the proud wife of a U.S. Marine officer, proud mother of a one year old boy (with a little sister on the way!), former Division 1 collegiate coach and former professional athlete. While I don’ run at the same caliber as I once did, I see running as a lifetime endeavor with different seasons and am enjoying getting out the door when I can with my little guy. Back in the glory days, I was a 1500m semifinalist at the 2015 World Championship representing Team USA and had the amazing experience of competing at the 2016 US Olympic Team Trials. Post-professional career I was able to run a 1:20 Half Marathon and 2:57 Marathon (NYC). Happy to talk more about my experiences as an athlete if you want to hear about them!
BIG INFLUENCES
My professional coach – Matt Centrowitz – is the biggest influence on my training philosophy and technical knowledge. I was also influenced by my HS coach – John Lovett – who taught me to love running first.
RACING HISTORY
My race experience has a lot of variety ranging from multiple time Army Ten Miler champion to 1500m World Championship Semi-Finalist and lots in between. My experience is not as important as yours and your goals. Let’s see how I can help you make your own racing history!

PUBLICATIONS
Matt Lara –
I started working with Kerri in August 2025 after feeling stuck with my running. She built a plan that fit my life and helped me finally reach my goal of running a full marathon. Kerri is incredibly supportive. She listens, adjusts when life gets messy, and always encourages me through the tough runs.
Since working with her, I have hit some of the best performances of my life and gained real confidence as a runner. She is the reason I fell back in love with the sport. Now we’re working towards me being faster and I can’t wait to see the the results and progress.
Adrienne Viscardi –
I have been working with Coach Kerri for only ten weeks, and I am already beginning to see results. She cares deeply about my goals and my experience after each workout. She is highly responsive and forward-thinking, which helps me manage my training and trust the process. She is supportive while pushing me to improve and take the necessary risks to grow. I know I am in good hands with Coach Kerri. I am confident that with her guidance, I will see the results in the upcoming NYC Marathon and future races.
