About Davida

My fellow coaches at Fit After Pink and I are dedicated to empowering breast cancer survivors on their running journey. We build a community of support while fostering a love for running. Fit After Pink coaches are certified running coaches and they are either breast cancer survivors themselves, or they are also certified Cancer Exercise Specialists. Our experiences and additional training truly allow us to help you achieve your running goals. We are committed to helping you run stronger, faster, and longer after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Coaching Philosophy

Running after a breast cancer diagnosis often requires a different approach. Fit After Pink run coaches understand this and our purpose is to help you reach your running goals in a safe and smart way.
We personalize training plans according to your running needs and goals while considering your short- and long-term side effects.
We focus on consistency and progressive workouts to build long-term gains.
We emphasize strength training, adequate recovery, proper nutrition to avoid overtraining and injuries.
We want our runners to feel supported, motivated, and empowered. We aim to create a fun and engaging environment for runners and walkers of all abilities.
We encourage communication and flexibility and will modify training plans based on athlete’s progress, feedback, and circumstances.
We embrace the process and celebrate all types of goals- not just results or race times.
