Training Theory & Coaching
I take a breath
I walk away
I take a breath
The clock delays
I move an inch
I walk a mile
My heart’s content
The truth denials
I walk away
The clock stays still
I ask her how
She stares until
The tension breaks
All time is lost
I wonder why
Our love star-crossed
I try to break
I run away
But still I must
Always stay
Feelings persist
But they might cloud
Until the day
The sun is found
So let this day
Be filled with treasure
If all time stops
Love lasts forever

I work with runners of all abilities, helping them take their potential to the next level, while enjoying their time on the trails (or roads!) in the process.
I come from a decade of coaching experience, and two decades of running experience at the high-end of the sport. I’m a part-time professional trail runner for XACT Nutrition, competing in the top 1% globally.
I work with athletes to help them put the entire puzzle together, from nutrition to injury prevention to training and racing, whilst building a plan that fits their schedule and life demands.
This includes…
✅ An adaptive training plan based on what actually happens in your life and your specific needs.
✅ Feedback and open dialogue on every single training run and race.
✅ All-in-one strength, mobility and run coaching.
✅ Expert insights and advice into nutrition, recovery, and racing, for all levels.
I currently have space for road, trail and ultra runners working toward their goals — whether you’re a busy mom, a part-time professional, or brand new to the sport. Contact me today to get started!
