Helping you feel confident in your training efforts

About Nikki Reiter
I am a trusted and reliable coach who helps runners achieve their goals through open communication, accountability and expert knowledge of training principles. Not sure where to start or what to do next in your training? I can help with that. We start with an intake goal setting session over Zoom, then I map out your individual training program based on your goals, background, and availability. With a private coaching subscription, I am here to answer your frequent questions about your training, injury, gear, running technique, etc. I will also review your technique if you send video.

Description
Testimonials “I started working with coach Nikki in spring of 2024. I had no running experience, and after trying to 'just do it' on my own, I ended up burning out my body and getting injured. Nikki taught me so much so quickly about pacing myself, keeping my body injury free, and adapting my workouts based on my time, and feedback I was giving her. I never realized there was so much that went into building a program, and understanding how the body works when it comes to an endurance based sport. I can happily say that Nikki made me a better runner all around and got me ready to train in my very first 10k! Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced runner, you can for sure benefit from working with Nikki.” - Tyler Clemmer, previous client and co-owner, Rec Fitness "Getting back into running for the first time in awhile I was a little nervous about how my plan would work out, but working with Nikki was fantastic. She made it really easy for us to communicate with each other and her constant support helped build my confidence in my training and running knowledge! I highly recommend Nikki to anyone looking for expert coaching and encouragement." - Cam Kroeker, previous client "Nikki is an incredible coach and person who has been instrumental in my running journey. When we started working together, I lacked both knowledge and confidence, but Nikki’s expertise and supportive nature quickly changed that. Her personalized guidance helped me take my running to the next level and discover a true love for the sport." - Sandra Kilmartin, previous client and collegiate runner More About Me I was a multi-sport athlete until I got serious about running in university, where I was a member of the University of Windsor Lancers cross country and track & field teams for five years. I continued to stay involved with the sport, coaching high school and eventually university athletes – capturing a Canadian Collegiate Athletics Association women’s cross country championship in 2013. My education has also reflected my passion for training, having earned both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in human kinetics, as well as becoming a certified exercise physiologist, along with running-specific coaching credentials. In 2013 I was certified in the Canadian National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) at the Competition Development level (previously 'Level 3'). I coached online for a few years with The Run S.M.A.R.T Project, helping athletes learn more about themselves and set personal bests. I also wrote multiple blog posts as their ‘resident biomechanist’ and was quoted multiple times for my biomechanics and coaching expertise in publications such as Runner’s World, Men’s Health, and Self. My approach to training is reflected in my career - I am a continuous improvement program manager at the University of British Columbia. I balance this with being a mom of two, and dedication to my running, strength training and, in the winter, downhill skiing, to keep active and enjoy the outdoors. Personal Bests: 1500 m – 4:49 3000 m – 10:14 5000 m – 17:55
Athlete Requirements

Nikki is a coach worth recommending every time! I had been working with Nikki nearly a decade ago for three consecutive years. During that time, she turned me - a non-runner - into someone who comple...
