About Nora

My passion for running has crossed the line from being a hobby to becoming a job. A job that I love! I have always been drawn to running. I have been running for the past 11 years and have made the leap into Ultra running and race directing.

I love competing. I love the atmosphere that a race holds. I also love the challenge that comes with each and every race. The purpose of my coaching is to help you achieve the goals you have set for yourself. Whether you are new to running, chasing a BQ, or looking to venture into a new distance, the feeling of achieving that goal is the same.

Coaching Philosophy

I love seeing the growth of my athletes and the progress they make. Below you will see a few plans that I offer. You may notice that the plans contain some things that other coaches may not provide. I have options where I physically run with my local clients in addition to offering virtual plans across the globe. I believe that putting you first as a person is the best way to accomplish your goals.
I believe that there a magnitude of things that can progress you as a runner or hinder you. I asses you as a whole and personalize a coaching plan that specific to you and only you. I think by adaptation as well as being able to change course when needed will allow you to tap into your potential.
