About Lily

I run to improve my mental health, fitness, and how I live my life! I am a mother of two boys, a nurse, personal trainer, yoga instructor, run coach, and most recently an ultra run coach. I love surrounding my life with everything running! I coach, race direct, and actively participate in bettering the running community!

Coaching Philosophy

My Approach to Coaching an Athlete like you!

-First and foremost, I believe a good coach and athlete relationship starts with great communication.
-Your goals, become my goals.
-Non-judgemental and positive coaching.
-Injury management and prevention is always on my mind.
-Evidence-based tracking, plans, and answers.
-Joy is a motivator for all great runners, this joy is nurtured in your running and racing experiences!

Based in Toronto, Canada, but also coach international athletes virtually, I hope to join you on your running journey!
