1/2 Marathon Finisher
Sally has prepared me for several half marathons throughout the years. After having my daughter, I came to her simply to start running. I ran in high school and played several sports but never was coached on how to run properly. My goal was primarily for weightloss and slowly turned into becoming a healthy mother for my daughter. One 5k turned into more 5ks then turned into 10ks, and now half marathons. Through lifes setbacks and personal records, she has been uplifting throughout! She’s approachable when it comes to any questions you have. Her accountability throughout training, and knowledge about nutrition hits every aspect needed with running.

1/2 Marathon Finisher
I am currently 38 years old and consider myself very active and an overall fit person. I recently signed up for another half marathon (I have completed 3 half marathons and one full marathon), and it has been about ten years since my last. In the past, I always used a generic training schedule I found online. This time, I wanted to try and complete it in under 2 hours. I have known Sally for quite a while and knew she was advanced and knowledgeable when it came to races. She put me on a complete half-marathon training plan. This plan was completely different than anything I found online, and it was made just for me. During the 3 months of training, she would check in with me regularly, and we would adjust as needed. I have two young children, and all my runs would be around 5:00 AM. Sally would adjust the schedule if I missed any runs due to vacations, sickness, etc. I never paid attention to the nutrition part of running in the past, but she made sure to coach me on this part just as much as getting the miles in. I am glad she did!! I realized I was not hydrating properly, and I made the necessary changes to reduce cramping and maximize my training. I ended up completing my half a lot faster than I even hoped for. I finished with a time of 1:49:51! | highly recommend Sally, and she will be the first person I reach out to when I decide to sign up for another!

10K Finisher
Sally has been an incredible coach – since day #1! Coming into my running journey with zero knowledge of how to train, what training looks like, even how to RUN properly – Sally was with me through it ALL. She met me exactly where I was at, generously listened, and was able to kindly guide me to the finish line. My starting goal in my running journey was to be able to confidently run a 5K. Sally was able to break down what exactly it would take to hit my goal and sent me encouraging messages along my journey checking in and pushing me to get out and RUN when it was hard to self-motivate. After I achieved that success, Sally didn’t stop there. I mentioned a 10K race that was coming up that I was interested in and was already talking myself out of it when Sally turned into the biggest cheerleader/encourager you could imagine. She has the perfect balance of pushing you to be better while also being realistic with where you are at. Sally also provided a personalized GoogleSheet that outlined my training with the ability to record my runs and build on my pre and post-run recovery habits. Throughout the course of 2023, Sally has been a touchstone for me as I have continued my running journey off and on. At the end of the day, I can confidently declare myself a “runner” after the intentional work done with Sally and know I can come to her whenever I sign up for my next race! I am forever changed and eternally grateful.
