Wondering if running coaching is for you?
Running coaching is for you if…
- You have big goals but aren’t sure how to get there or IF you can get there (maybe your first trail race or ultra??).
- You struggle with doing things you don’t like (like speed work).
- You’re overwhelmed with the volume of training information out there and don’t know where to start.
- Making day to day decisions about training drains you.
- You want motivation, support and accountability.
- You want a plan created for YOU based on YOUR life and priorities.
Running coaching is NOT for you if…
- You want a running plan with no support.
- You want to figure things out on your own.
- You don’t want to build a relationship with a coach.
- You may want to check out my self directed running programs instead.

FAQ’s
Why do you require applications?
I want to make sure of a few things before we move forward: (1) that 1:1 coaching is the right program for you and (2) that I’m the right coach for you. The coach-athlete relationship is hugely important for a successful coaching experience, so we need to make sure we’re right for each other.
Do I have to be a trail runner to work with you?
Nope! I’m certified for road and trail running, for races from a 5K up to ultramarathons. My favorite distance to coach is the 50k, but I have a roster full of many distances.
Do I have to start my training as soon as I apply?
I ask that you start your training within 1 month of application since I only take a limited number of athletes at a time.
Will you be taking on athletes on a rolling basis?
Yes, as long as I have an open spot on my crew. If you want email alerts when I open up more spots, sign up here. Applications are first come first serve.

Rebecca
“Working with Kelly was integral to getting back on my feet (literally) after two significant running injuries that required physical therapy. My physical therapist recommended that I use a running coach to avoid re-injuring myself, and Kelly was the perfect coach to get the job done! Kelly was able to develop a comprehensive plan that helped to build my mileage back up and my confidence back. After only a couple of months, Kelly had helped me to run a half marathon over the course of a weekend. Despite it being early in my plan, it was a cause near and dear to my heart, and Kelly helped me make it happen!
In the middle of my training with Kelly, I had a significant family crisis. She responded with empathy and understanding, and she was able to tweak my plan accordingly. As someone who is very self-competitive, I was disappointed in myself that I was unable to train as much as I did previously, but Kelly was so encouraging and wonderful throughout it all. She helped me to celebrate my accomplishments and remain positive; she went way above and beyond what I expected of a running coach!
I would highly recommend Kelly to any runner! I look forward to using her again in the future!”

“Kelly is a great coach, motivator, and supporter. I worked with her on building my running base while I had a couple of injuries and some major life changes. She was not only helpful in figuring out a running plan that would keep me moving forward, but also adapted it to what I could physically/mentally handle. Also she got me to do that accessory work (core/stretching) that I knew I needed to do, but never had the motivation for. I definitely recommend working with Kelly wherever you are in your running journey!”
Sarah
“Getting a coach was the smartest thing I did to prepare for my 50K and my life in general. I’m an athlete and I haven’t worked with a coach since high school and it’s nice to be back into that type of training. I have a goal and because of a coach it has become an important part of my every day. Kelly is the best, you should definitely let her coach you.”
