About Allison

I am grateful to my own coaches for giving me the training and experience to perform well at many of these events (highlights: Divide 200, first place, Bigfoot 200, 3rd place, under previous course record, Leona Divide 100k, first place, course record, Tushars 100k, 2nd place) With a love of sharing knowledge and a hunger to inspire more women to get on the trails, it was a natural next step for me to become a coach and give back to the community. I completed my UESCA Ultra Running Coach certification and launched To Be Running. I thrive on helping others achieve their dreams!

Coaching Philosophy

Using an online system, I assign workouts targeted to the individual to help them reach their specific goals. I provide daily training log feedback, for highly personalized online coaching. My specialty is ultrarunning, so any event from a 50k to 200 plus miles is what I cover. The training needed for endurance events is different from a typical marathon. Time (not mileage) based training is my default method, with some speed work each week to facilitate overall fitness builds. More than anything, I make sure training is fun and approachable!
