I want to help you train smart, stay injury-free, and balance running with the rest of your life. That starts with an honest look at where you are and what you want to achieve. I’ve coached since 2013 and am an RRCA Level 2 Adult Endurance & Youth Coach. I’ve completed 25 marathons—going from barely finishing my first to qualifying for Boston in 2017. I love being a student of the sport and translating science into practical, lifelong training for runners of all levels.
