About Jackie

I’m a UESCA-certified running coach and mom of two, experienced in running 8 full marathons—including during pregnancy and postpartum—as well as numerous 5Ks, 10Ks, and half marathons. I create customized training plans tailored to your goals, fitness level, and lifestyle. Based in Lake County, Illinois, I coach runners locally (Libertyville, Vernon Hills, and nearby) and virtually worldwide. My coaching combines endurance building, injury prevention, and mental resilience to help you stay strong, consistent, and empowered every step of your running journey.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy centers on creating personalized training plans tailored to each runner’s unique goals, abilities, and lifestyle. As a UESCA-certified running coach and mom of two who has run 8 marathons—including during pregnancy and postpartum—I understand the challenges of balancing life and training. I take a holistic approach that emphasizes not only physical conditioning but also mental resilience, injury prevention, and overall well-being. Whether you’re a beginner working toward your first 5K or an experienced marathoner chasing a new PR, I provide expert guidance, motivation, and support—both locally in Lake County, Illinois, and virtually worldwide. My goal is to help you build strength, confidence, and consistency for sustainable running success
