Brandi Cole

I am certified in Jack Daniel’s Formula (VDOTO2) and took my classes from the Olympian himself, Dr. Jack Daniels. A few months later I got my second coaching certification, the RRCA Level 1 coaching certification which is based on the same principles. I believe in a science based approach based on duration of effort (via HR) versus pace over distance. That being said, I am happy to provide pace ranges and estimated distance for those more comfortable with that approach.

I believe all runners should be working on getting stronger in addition to building cardio endurance and speed. I am also big on self care modalities like foam rolling, stretching, baths, and eating well to support your body and training. I am knowledgeable in strength training and nutrition and happy to provide some guidance, but am not certified in these areas.

I will challenge and push you to new levels, but I also believe training should fit your lifestyle.You will always get an honest perspective from me, but you are firmly in the driver seat of your journey. That being said, you should be prepared to put in the work and get your butt out the door every day. I’m here if you need some extra support on any given day, but I’m not your parent and I don’t do daily workout reminders and checkins.

If you are looking for a coach that will provide thoughtful workouts tailored to your specific needs and goals, will be your number one cheerleader, someone who can support you with race planning including nutrition/hydration (and pre-race notes that will make you cry), and will possibly show up mid-race in a unicorn onesie to cheer you on, shoot me a message.
