I ran cross country and track in high school, but focused more on horseback riding during college. After college, I began to get serious about running again, and fell in love with the half marathon distance. I have now run over 50 half marathons, and have run 5 marathons, with the last being Boston in 2019. I have been coaching runners since 2020 and have really enjoyed sharing my love of running with my athletes and helping them to find their potential. When I'm not running, I enjoy riding my horse, hiking, reading, and cooking.
Every runner is unique and therefore the coaching of each athlete should be tailored specifically to them. I believe in creating run plans that set each runner up for success, but I also believe strongly that runners need to listen to their body each day and modify/substitute workouts based on how they are feeling.
