My fellow coaches at Fit After Pink & I are dedicated to empowering breast cancer survivors on their running journey. We build a community of support while fostering a love for running. Running after breast cancer presents new challenges. As such, I use evidence-based training principles incorporated with a holistic & personalized approach to build personalized training plans that consider the impacts of breast cancer treatment.
A balanced approach to training, incorporating strength training, cross-training & focused recovery is encouraged to maximize performance and minimize injuries.
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, and 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.
