About

Backstory

I came to running at the age of 35 with no athletic background. I didn’t run track or cross country and I didn’t play any other sports either. Throughout childhood, adolescence and early adulthood I was a committed music and arts nerd. I learned to be a runner the same way many of you have, through trial and error, and squeezing in runs around a busy work-life schedule. My marathon progression tells the story of what consistency and dedication can do. I ran my first marathon, the 2017 Philadelphia Marathon, in 4:10. One year later in 2018, I took 37 minutes off my time to finish with a 3:33. That marathon, my second attempt at the distance, was a Boston Qualifying time with a 7 minute cushion. Over the next two years, 2019 and 2020, I ran two more marathons, 3:05 then 2:58, my first sub3. A 1 hour 12 minute improvement as a masters runner.

I’ve used this knowledge and real world experience to coach people over the past 7 years to great success. If you’re looking for improvement, whether that be in training efficiency, injury prevention, or finish time, I’d love to chat.
