Hello

Competitive

Runner!

Athletes often sign up with me to help them prepare for an upcoming race. They need advice, guidance, and a daily running schedule that’ll get them to the starting line fit, ready, and uninjured. I love signing on for that challenge!

And really, there’s nothing like a race to focus your training, help you become more disciplined, and motivate you to a faster time than you thought possible.

If you’re ready to run the race of your life, call or text me today.

Services + 3 Things to Know

Services You'll Receive

When you hire me as your running coach, this is what you get.

Free Consult

A free 60–90 minute phone or video call. We'll discuss your motivations, challenges, and goals—and I'll explain how we'll work together.

Personalized Schedule

A custom training plan built from our consult. I'll send you a draft, then together we'll hone it until it's exactly where you want it.

Unlimited Communication

Unlimited access to your coach—me. Many coaches cap how often athletes can reach out. That seems silly, and ungenerous. You deserve better.

Exclusive Content

Great running content on my website, Substack, Instagram stories, and a weekly email tip. Twenty years as a magazine editor—15 at Runner's World—packed with information and inspiration.

Accountability

Maybe the most important service I offer. You'll grow more accountable to yourself and your running—and we'll be accountable to each other, a powerful motivator.

3 Things to Know

A few reasons racing is worth showing up for.

01

Races are magical places

The runners, their friends and family, the volunteers, the officers keeping watch, the cheering crowds—everyone's in a good mood. I always get emotional at the start, and even more at the finish. All shapes, sizes, and abilities, everyone making it across. The vibe is amazing.

02

The calm contentment afterward is the best

There's nothing like it. That feeling stays with you all day—sometimes much longer. It's the satisfaction of a job well done, of finishing, of accomplishing a worthy goal.

03

The feedback is uniquely clear

Unlike a job review at work or a grade at school, a race effort needs input from no one but you. No one's subjectively assessing you afterward. You run it, you finish it—it's entirely your deal.
