About Linda

I started running in high school, and it has remained part of my life ever since. I’ve completed numerous half marathons and one full marathons, and now I especially enjoy 5K and 10K distances. My fitness journey has evolved to incorporate strength training and yoga alongside running. As a UESCA Certified Running Coach, I’m passionate about helping people get active, build confidence, and reach their goals while making fitness enjoyable, sustainable, and part of real life.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is to meet runners where they are and help them build fitness and confidence at a pace that works for their life. I believe running should be enjoyable and sustainable, with goals that are challenging but achievable. I encourage a well-rounded approach that incorporates strength, mobility, recovery, and consistency while celebrating progress along the way.
