About Sharon

I have been a runner since the age of 13 and have trained/raced every distance from 5K to the marathon. I have long made it my goal to search out and curate the best evidenced based practices for the purpose of improving my personal performance as well as those I treat and coach. I am honored to have the opportunity to be a resource to the running community and work with athletes who are as passionate about the sport as I.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is built upon "consistency" and "patience" as the foundation from which I believe all improvements in performance are anchored. Other important tenets that are a part of my coaching philosophy are: periodization, strength training, appropriate training load management and emphasis on effort-based training (in additional to HR, pace/power based).
