Empathetic, person-centered coaching meets effective, science-based training. I help athletes of all levels balance short-term progress with long-term growth. Coaching isn’t just workouts—it’s about supporting the whole athlete over time!
AI running tools like those from Strava, Garmin, Suunto, etc, promise personalization—but they can’t actually personalize, let alone listen, understand context, or care.
Here are a bunch of reasons why 'AI Coaching' is anything but. (Link in bio)

Laura G. just dropped a 3.5-min #halfmarathon PR — and it happened because she trusted herself, not her watch.
The early splits looked fast — she’d never run a sub-7 mile in *any* race. She stayed present & trusted her training.
Six sub-7 miles in one race, after never cracking the barrier before.

#Running training should revolve around YOU — not the other way around.
That’s the core of what I do as a #coach: evolving training around your fitness, stress, schedule, and goals — not just a race date. Research backs this up — adaptive training is more effective and more sustainable.

Easy runs aren’t “junk miles” or just “recovery runs.” They’re a core pillar of fitness.
They build adaptations you can’t get from harder efforts — like new capillaries and mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell!).

Sound familiar?
➊ The plan says 10mi; I ran 9.2–I didn't finish the run
➋ No time for the full workout–I should rest, and try tomorrow.
I wrote a post to help–in my profile. Let me know if you’ve felt this!

Most fitness improvements don't happen in one training block. The training you do now sets you up to race strong this fall and break barriers in 2026! New athletes get 10% off all plans through June 30. Check out the website, or DM to learn more!
