About Stephanie

I started with a sofa to 5k program when I turned 30, lost 85lbs and 11 marathons later I have no plans on slowing down. Let’s take my passion for running and turn it into your success.

This isn’t cookie cutter running plans. This is about meeting your goals with grit and hard work designed for you. Weather you’re getting started for the first time or you want to PR your next race, we can work together to make it happen. Open lines of communication is key so let’s get started!

I'm a full time High School teacher and I love to share the joy that running has brought into my life. It was very natural for me to become a coach.

I completed the Road Runners of America Coach Certification in 2013. The majority of my training is experience as a runner myself and as a coach.

About the lesson

A meet & greet is step one. I’d like to meet you and learn about your goals, prior experiences, schedule, etc. If possible, we can also go for our first run. From there I’ll begin to build your plan on a week by week basis. Communication is key because the next week’s plan is based on your performance on the current week. As you progress you’ll pass important milestones that include data collection used in projecting your outcome: race day pace for example. Depending on your schedule, I’ll try to run with you especially on weekends to check important points like form, stretching, hydration etc.

I’ve worked with mostly women ages 30 to 55 wanting to get back into shape or find some me time but occasionally I’ve worked with men in the same age group and sometimes younger athletes.

If you’re looking to hire a running coach look for one who has some miles under their belt. They don’t have to look amazing to know what they’re talking about but you have to really do what they’re asking to get the results you’re asking for. Keep the lines of communication open: Keep in contact with them. Let them know how it’s going. It may seem like you’re texting them all the time but that’s the feedback they need.

I love Triathlon in addition to running, especially swimming. Yoga and Pilates are also great cross training.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
I would also ask yourself about your schedule and budget. Do you have the time to commit to something more than one of those free online running plans. Can you afford it right now?

I would think through what your goal is ultimately: A specific race? Weight loss? A PR? A new hobby?

Finally, I would think through your motivation for that goal. Things will be though eventually, no matter which coach you go with, and you’ll need to remember what motivated you to start in order to keep yourself going.
