I started running in 2016 after getting a Fitbit a few years prior to help get myself into better shape. My father died when I was very young. He was diabetic and ultimately died from a heart attack. From there people challenged me to run a local race as I was walking so much, and then continued to challenge myself thereafter. I have now nearly completed 100 races, almost 50 of which are the half marathon (the race distance I specialize in) and 7 being full marathons, 5 being the World Majors Marathons, of which only Tokyo remains. I want to help runners reach and surpass their goals as I have
I believe each individual is unique and should be trained as such. The clients and athletes I work with I make sure to talk about what their goals are and what they really want to do with their life. I set up my training for each of them specifically because one way of coaching will not necessarily work with everyone. That being said, I do try to push my clients/athletes to do their best and give their all for everything in their life, otherwise, what is the point? Life deserves a challenge so I will push some to meet and reach new goals as we move through coaching. I myself have pushed myself to do new challenges I, and many others, never expected me to do. The pursuit of this lies more in bettering myself than anything, and I want to encourage others to do the same, to be the best person you can be and unlock your potential.
