Coaching

I am a McMillan Certified Running Coach and the proud owner of All Stripes Coaching. I coach athletes who are training to run all distances from the 5K to the marathon.

I believe that there is not just one running stripe. Successful runners prioritize their nutrition, recovery, hydration, and strength training while being disciplined about following their prescribed training plan. The mental stripe is also hugely important and when I coach athletes, I work with them on building confidence, easing anxiety, and taking a well-rounded approach to racing and goal-setting.

I help runners unlock their potential through a personalized approach that takes into consideration their:

  • Short and long-term goals
  • Experience level
  • Strengths and weaknesses
  • Training preferences
  • Time constraints
  • Mindset towards running
Coaching Services
Are you ready to flex all of your stripes!?  When you work with All Stripes you complete a comprehensive questionnaire to ensure I have all of the information I need to tailor your plan. I take into account your running history, your goals, your timeline, race calendar and scheduling preferences. Then I craft a tailored plan based on the scientifically proven system from McMillan running. When I give you the plan I explain my rationale for my approach, why I have prescribed certain workouts and tips for executing the race. 

I provide personal coaching services on a month-by-month basis with a minimum of two months commitment. Athletes receive 4 weeks of training at a time, and I tweak it as we go along, depending on how the athlete responds to the training. 

We communicate through the Final Surge app. That's where you will see a calendar with your plan. You connect your fitness watch to Final Surge so I will see all of your running data.

FAQ

Q: Will you coach anyone?
A: I'm best suited to coach runners who have been running for at least six months and can already run a 5K (3.1 miles). For runners who are just starting out, I recommend the Couch to 5K program. Otherwise, I coach runners at all levels-- unless you are an Olympic runner. I also have limited capacity, so I may not be available to work with new athletes at certain times. For legal purposes, I only coach athletes based in the USA.

Q: Will you comment on my workouts in Final Surge?
A: Yes, that is how we communicate. I typically don't comment on easy runs, but I will comment on most of your workouts and long runs. I prefer if you leave notes about how the workout felt, and I will respond to that.

Q: What is the pricing?
A: Complete the Coaching Interest Form and I will email you with pricing. Upfront payment is required for all plans.

Q: Do you offer full-service 1:1 coaching with regular interactions and feedback?
A: Yes, but I have limited capacity due to my full-time job, so I only work with a small handful of athletes at a time.

Q: Do you offer in-person coaching?
A: Nope, just virtual.
