About Bridget

Hi! My name is Bridget and I am a running coach living in the Houston, Texas area. Whether you have a goal race coming up, or just want to improve your running fitness I can help!

I am a mom to 3 wonderful children, 3 fur babies and 1 little fish! Being a mom comes first, but running is a close second. I have been running for over 20 years. My relationship with running has changed over the years, but I am still very much a running nerd, and talk about it every chance I get.

I used to be a full-time special education teacher so my passion has always been helping others. When my children were little I decided to stay home with them instead of return to teaching. As my children got older I had more time for my hobbies and realized that I not only liked running, but I also liked helping other runners meet their goals and so I got certified and became a running coach.

I have run many distances from the marathon all the way down to the mile. Running has taken me all over the country, and hopefully someday I’ll run a race internationally. My favorite distance is the marathon. I ran my first marathon in Chicago at age 22 and was hooked. Since then I have run the Boston Marathon 5 times. My favorite marathon though is the New York City marathon which holds my PR of 3:11.

I like to keep my coaching list small so that I am able to give appropriate attention to each of my runners. I believe that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to run coaching. I strive to tailor my coaching to the individual client and their own personal needs and strengths. I adjust training based on how previous weeks are progressing. I also believe that strength training, adequate sleep and proper nutrition are keys to staying becoming and injury free and happier runner. My goal is to help you stay consistent with your training by following a manageable training plan that fits your schedule and life.

Training for races is a lot of fun, and it’s even more fun when you have a supportive coach and workouts that meet your current fitness. I look forward to meeting you and learning about your running goals!
