ABOUT ME
I’m a registered nurse, wife, and mother to 2 athletic daughters. I’ve participated in a variety of races, 5k to 50k races, spanning both road and trail environments. Recognizing the intricacies and the importance of adaptability in managing children’s schedules and juggling a full-time job. Our family thrives on outdoor activities: camping, biking, hiking, and of course running. I believe in prioritizing self-care to ensure we can be at our best.
BIG INFLUENCES
I appreciate other runners and learning from their experiences. I have used different templated programs that have helped me achieve my goals for the upcoming race. I have made changes and adaptations to the training programs allowing for flexibility to a busy family and professional life. I also have recently tuned into Des Linden and Kara Goucher, professional runners that have a great attitude towards running and life.
RACING HISTORY
I’ve experienced both exceptional and challenging races throughout my running journey. Overcoming numerous obstacles in my running “career,” I’ve managed to persevere, cross the finish line, and maintain a genuine passion for the sport. As previously mentioned, I’ve tackled everything from 5ks to 50Ks, on both trails and roads. Each race, distance, and terrain bring a unique sense of accomplishment that I genuinely cherish.

Outstanding coach. Great listener, and understands the goals. Puts in the effort to take in to account the goals and individual needs (quirks?) of each athlete. Truly is going above and beyond expectations.
The workouts are challenging but doable. She understands the needs of athletes and is incredibly timely. I cannot imagine getting a faster response than Coach Rebecca does.
Overall, 5+ …emphatically!
Jessica Linquist –
Rebecca has been invaluable as I have begun training for not just a marathon, but for several bicycle races this season, as well. She checks in often, offers a wealth of advice and support and realizes that life happens and not everything will always go as planned. When a bump in the road happens, Rebecca is fast to offer support, reprogram the week’s schedule and will never make you feel at fault for the inevitable. I am so grateful to have Rebecca on my team and her enthusiasm carries over to her clients. I cannot want to continue working together and highly recommend Rebecca to any athlete, at any stage in their career!
Kristen Hunt –
Rebecca has been so patient with me as she guides me to my first big race. She is constantly checking in with me, seeing how I’m feeling, and makes sure that we are always on the same page. If I have any questions, she gets back to me within a few hours, if not sooner. I am excited about the future of my training with her, and I look forward to continuing to work with her. I highly recommended Rebecca to any runner, especially if you’re busy/parent, who is looking for an attentive coach who understands how to get you moving in the right direction and keep you there.
