About Maria

Maria is an enthusiastic ambassador for endurance sport. Triathlon and ultra running have revolutionized her life, teaching her to fear less and live more. She loves the competition and camaraderie that the endurance sport community provides. She is the Outspoken Women in Triathlon Coach of the Year 2021, and the USA Triathlon Coach Educator of the year 2022. She has extensive experience in long course triathlon and ultra-running. As an athlete, Maria sets big goals to push herself out of her comfort zone, finding that is the place she feels most alive.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe:
- all athletes deserve a coach.
- communication is central to the coach-athlete relationship
- coaching is an art and a science
- you are an N=1 and your training will treat you like the individual you are

I work with athletes as a unique N=1, so there isn’t a one-size fits all approach to your training. The training will dynamically respond to your progress as it comes.

I am a high-touch coach, which means you hear from me a lot, including;
- Regular and detailed feedback based on available metrics
- Unlimited email and text messaging
- Monthly phone calls on the endurance plan (option to upgrade to unlimited)
- Support with developing a fueling & hydration plan, fine-tuning race strategy and execution
- Video analysis
- Strength training

As a No Limits coached athlete, you also get access to our team, which includes community, education, and discounts.
