About Julie

My name is Julie Hood and I am a wife, mom of 3, marathoner, personal trainer and outdoor and travel enthusiast! I am a running coach because I want to help recreational runners reach their goals. I know everyone wears a million hats, so I want to create an individual plan for busy people to help take away one of the barriers to getting them out on their run. I will create the plan and they just need to lace up their shoes and execute! As a busy mom, running has become my sanity and my one thing I do for myself - I want to help others find their sanity and work towards goals for themselves!

Coaching Philosophy

I want running to remain fun and simple - that is the beauty of the sport, you can open your front door and put one foot in front of the other! I also realize that as a recreational runner, you do not have all the time in the world, so having a purpose for every run and being efficient is important.
