About Christina

I am a professional runner and comparative physiologist based out of St. Petersburg, Florida. I began my running journey over ten years ago, as a Division III Cross Country/Track and Field athlete at Stockton University. After running my first marathon in a time of 3:29, I worked with many coaches and studied every training philosophy I could find, eventually lowering my PR to 2:33:00, qualifying me to run the 2024 US Olympic Marathon Trials. I am also a PhD candidate, studying the development of aerobic metabolism and how it responds to stress, which has helped me understand how the body responds to training at a much deeper level. After over ten years of competetive running, I love sharing my skills and experience with others to help them improve their own training! I believe running should be a lifelong sport, so my approach to training focuses not just on PRs, but on keeping running as a healthy, sustainable part of your life.
