About Kristen

I'm an elite trail runner, coach, and dog mom, and I’ve been geeking out on all things running, coaching, and human performance for as long as I can remember.

I believe in sweating the details, never leaving my dog behind, showing up even when it’s scary, and finding the best way to connect, grow, and work as an athletic team and simply as a human being.

Coaching Philosophy

I take a holistic, human-first approach that combines evidence-backed training principles, accountability-focused coaching through daily check-ins, and a positive and supportive community. I provide athletes with individualized, evidence-backed plans that factor in day-to-day stress to optimize training and minimize injury and burnout. Through one-on-one interactions, I help athletes develop a training schedule that best fits their needs and time constraints. My goal is to help athletes build and maintain lasting habits that lead to big breakthroughs over time!
