About Debbie

Being a single mom, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to wear all the hats. There are bills to pay, homework to help with, meals to be prepped, tears to wipe away, monsters under the bed to conquer (just me??). In short, it can be a lot with little time left over to plan and navigate the world of running. Let me be the one to remind you just how rich a life can be that includes taking time out for yourself to pursue something you love. Running. And I can't wait to be the one who helps you build it!

Coaching Philosophy

I believe in a holistic approach to training, so you won’t find me developing training programs that have you running 7 days a week with no rest and no cross-training. Nutrition, strength training, core rehab, stress management, among other forms of balance all have their part to play in getting you to achieve the goals you set for yourself. I also believe in supporting you as a unique individual with your own story to
tell. While I am happy to make a one-shot training plan, I truly believe in tailoring programs to meet individual needs. Communication is vital, and I will always take the time to listen to and address questions or concerns. I will be your biggest cheerleader along the way and provide as many tools and techniques as possible to help you achieve your goals.
