Welcome to Runners Sense

Runners Sense Coaching Philosophy

At Runners Sense, I blend common sense with the latest scientific research to help athletes reach their goals while staying injury-free so you can enjoy a lifetime of running.

I started running in 2010 to celebrate turning 40 by training for a half marathon. Feeling joy and accomplishment in that experience, I wanted to share that and began coaching groups in 2013. I enjoy exploring new routes and have run 100% of Lakeland’s public city streets. I have completed 25 marathons, and qualified for the Boston Marathon in 2017 and 2018.

I am a RRCA Level II Adult Endurance and Youth Coach, and I am also trained in the Galloway run-walk-run method.

Runners Sense Coaching Philosophy

I offer training plans through VDOT. Choose between standard 12 week 5k, 10k, or half-marathon or 25 week marathon plans for Novice, Intermediate or Advanced runners.

Individualized, custom plans with weekly coach check ins are also available.
