About Abby

Running has shaped my life since age 15, starting with middle-distance track and collegiate Cross-Country at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. After college, I embraced road racing and competed in CrossFit for over a decade. Moving to Colorado, I discovered trail running and summited 40 fourteeners. Highlights include five Pikes Peak Ascents, three Garden to Peak races, the Crazy Mountain 100, and finishing the Leadville 100. I now help others achieve their running dreams.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy centers on personalized training plans tailored to your goals, experience, and lifestyle. I provide ongoing check-ins and adjustments to keep your training effective and on track. Together, we develop race strategies for pacing, fueling, and mindset, while integrating strength and mobility work to boost durability and prevent injury. I also offer mental coaching to build confidence and toughness, plus cross-training guidance for balanced endurance. Throughout your journey, I’m here for support, accountability, and expert advice every step of the way.
