Train smarter, run happier, and stay healthy – no matter the distance.
My Running Experience
A runner since college, it wasn’t until a major health event at age 26 (read: two heart attacks) that running switched from a means of exercising to a necessity for long-term heart health. At the start of cardiac rehab I told my doctors my singular goal: I want to run again.
Six months later I crossed the finish line of a 10k and eventually longer distances followed. In 2019 I got the endurance running bug after watching a friend complete a half marathon.
Since then I’ve crossed the finish line of 15 half marathons, 14 marathons and countless 5k, 10k and 15k races, all with one thing in common:
I did it without breaking my body.
(Oh, and I managed to have fun along the way too.)
Coaching Philosophy
After my heart attacks I could not walk two blocks without needing to sit. Going from training for a half marathon to zero endurance completely leveled the trust in my body’s ability. I was frustrated, heart broken and quite frankly, angry.
But one step, one rehab session, one (eventual) run at a time, those feelings got replaced with confidence, strength, and appreciation for what my body can do.
It’s because of this acute awareness of how it feels to want to do something that my body is not physically able to accomplish that I am grateful for every race start line.
Running and racing are a privileges we get to do, not a punishments we have to endure.
They’re a testament to our body, and mind’s, ability to show up for our goals – whether they are focused on a specific time, distance, location, or simply enjoying the run.
This sentiment led to getting my RRCA Run Coaching Certification in early 2024 to help other runners, and aspiring runners, of all levels find the FUN in running, training and get from the start to finish line with a smile on their faces and confidence in their body’s ability to go the distance.
Many ask about my own running goal and it’s quite simple:
Run until I’m 80.
Getting there requires consistency, grit, respect for the distance, changing up my training seasonally, and listening to my body.
These themes are central to how I train and coach athletes to be the healthiest, happiest versions of themselves.
