Our Mission is to increase women’s participation and opportunity in trail running and hiking through inspiration, education and empowerment.
I have been running all my life, my first race was with my dad, a kids fun run at age 6. I was hooked! There was something I loved about the feeling of moving and exploring on my own two legs. I played other spots, soccer mostly, but my love was always track and field and trail running.
I am a coach because I love to share my enthusiasm for running with others. I find that I mainly coach women, and because women have been underrepresented in the trail community, I love introducing women to our sport, and am so glad it is changing! Some of my most fulfilling aspects of being a coach is when (older) women run their first ultra, or first 100 and shock themselves…and take that knowledge that they can do anything into other aspects of their lives.
I work for, and with my athletes. I believe there is no one perfect way to coach an athlete, there are many nuanced ways to get fit and I try to find the way that works best for each athlete to reach their personal goals. Communication, authenticity, fun and flexibility are important to how I coach.
I also believe that you do not need a goal race to use a coach, there are lots of ways we can be helpful with out athletes needing to race.
