Description
My running journey began over 10 years ago when I signed up for my first half marathon. I downloaded a training program from the internet and didn’t have a method to my madness, but loved getting a medal when I finished my first race. Over the years, I repeated the cycle of signing up for a race, training for 12 weeks, but would stop running until I got the itch again. I ran my first marathon in 2014 and finished just over 4 hours - this was the first time I shed happy tears for completing this major victory. In 2018, after moving to Colorado, I consistently kept running, because I didn’t want to have to reacclimate to the altitude. After staying consistent, I have knocked over 30 minutes off my half marathon time and 50 minutes off my marathon time. I love to run. I love to eat. Join me today to help guide you toward your goals! My Coaching Philosophy: Personalized Approach: I tailor nutrition recommendations and training plans to each athlete's unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. There is no one size fits all. Science-Based Strategies: I will inform you of evidence-based research to optimize performance and recovery. Facts > opinions. Holistic Wellness: I will help you integrate nutrition with overall health, including mental and emotion well-being. Sustainable Habits: Together we'll make sure long-term intuitive eating habits fit into your daily life and support your running success. Continuous Improvement: I welcome everyone to embrace a growth mindset, encourage regular assessments and adjustments for ongoing progress. Empowerment through Education: I equip all my athletes with the knowledge to make informed choices and take control of their nutrition.
