About Lisa

During my time running I have worked with several different coaches and have also been self-coached. I am now in my 50s and though my race PRs all come from when I was much younger, I continue to put in relatively high mileage for the pure joy of running. While I've been able to stay mostly injury free, I've also had the experience of rehabbing and returning after an injury, so I can definitely help runners who may be in that situation as well. What I hope to provide as a coach is someone who can look at the big picture while providing accountability and feedback. Your training plan will be completely personalized, taking into consideration your experience, ability, schedule, and objectives. I am passionate about helping you achieve your running goals, whether it is completing your first marathon or setting a new personal best. I am excited to work together with you to set goals and to discuss the best ways to achieve those goals, always being open to adjustments based on life, fatigue, time constraints, and anything else that may come up as we go. I strongly believe that coaching should be highly personal and personalized, so I encourage constant conversation with my athletes. Running should be both fun and rewarding! Daily comments would be primarily through the VDOT calendar, with check-ins via email or text also encouraged. Reach out and let's see if I can help you achieve your goals!

Coaching Products

Description

I offer completely customized run coaching based on your individual abilities and goals. To begin, I will send you a questionnaire so that I have some guidelines about your current paces and schedule, and what goals you would like to pursue. We will then have an initial phone call to be sure that we are on the same page as we move forward. I will create a personalized training calendar that will include workouts, easy runs, rest and/or cross training, all geared toward making you a stronger runner and accessible to you at all times through the VDOT app and/or website. Nothing is done through a template or generic training plan. I’ll review each workout and provide feedback that will guide you throughout the week. Key workouts and races will allow us to check in on your capabilities and tweak the workouts accordingly. Constant and open communication will allow for flexibility and adjustments in the plan without compromising your progress toward whatever your fitness goals may be!
