TW Training helps non-elite runners train smarter so they can race faster and enjoy the process.
Description
After 12 years of working in the education field and 2 years of coaching with a local running store, Tammy decided to follow her true passion of coaching and fitness in 2017, which is when TW Training was born. She always thought that run coaching [and often times casual running groups] were a bit unaccessible for runners who didn’t consider themselves “fast” which is why TW Training specializes in supporting non-elite runners, especially those newer to long distance racing and who consider themselves middle of the pack runners.
Tammy is originally from Grand Rapids, MI, and a proud alum of the University of Michigan, where she received her B.S. in Movement Science. She’s completed 16 marathons, over 60 half marathons, and is running a half or full marathon in every state [with 36 completed so far]. She's also completed 5 of the World Marathon Majors. She’s a certified run coach through RRCA, as well as a certified personal trainer [NASM] and functional strength coach [CFSC], and she’s helped hundreds of runners reach their big goals in the 10+ years she’s been coaching.
Tammy currently resides in Chicago, IL, and can usually be found at a donut shop on Fridays.
Athlete Requirements
TW Training specializes in supporting non-elite runners train smarter to reach big race goals, especially with the half marathon and marathon distances.
The customized training plans currently offered within VDOT are for novice-intermediate runners who are running lower-medium mileage - starting at 30 miles/week or less as they start to train for their goal race. Make sure you read the minimum requirements for the training plans and you're selecting one that starts from your CURRENT WEEKLY MILEAGE (on average for the last month). It is recommended you buy your training plan no more than 2 weeks out from when you need to start the plan to ensure you're starting from the mileage you're at now.
