About Tara
After getting a high energy puppy, I switched my focus from cycling to running and began to push the limits to see what I was capable of. I have been racing ultramarathons since 2013, and finished my first 100 miler- The High Lonesome 100 in 2021. As a Physical Therapist I have used my knowledge to not only optimize performance and prevent injury, but to create longevity in the sports I love.
Coaching Philosophy
I truly believe whatever limits you put on yourself are only in your mind. It may take many years and a lot of hard work to get where you want to be, but it is possible!
