Growing up as a gymnast, I came to running later in life. Although I have been active with running for many years, I started racing over the last few decades. I enjoyed an early career as a clinical medical physicist who transitioned to a lengthy career as an airline pilot. I am currently a full time airline pilot for a major US airline. My current running focus includes multi-day stage races as well as some 100-200 mile distance races. As an older athlete in my 60s, I understand the challenges that older athletes face firsthand. Having a career with a chaotic schedule, I understand firsthand the challenges of having a non-routine work schedule. I am a UESCA certified running and ultra running coach as well as UESCA certified endurance sports nutrition coach. I live in the Seattle area with my husband and two Cocker Spaniel “kids”. My primary focus is multi-day ultras, primarily stage race ultramarathons. I maintain a small roster of athletes so I can provide highly individualized and customized comprehensive training plans that include strength and mobility.
What you get by achieving your goals is bot as important as what you become.
