About Me:
Hello everyone! My running journey started when I ran my first cross country meet in 7th grade. From there, I was hooked, and it’s carried me all the way through my high school and college experience in running. Competing in a 5A high school and then going on to run for an NCAA Division I college has helped me understand what it takes to see progress in the sport.
How I can help you improve your game:
In terms of training, I like to be very individual with every athlete. We all have different experiences in the sport, and my job is to help you improve along your journey. When it comes to distance training, I have a big emphasis on building a strong base with your endurance and stamina. Once that is developed, I like to implement more speed and lactic threshold workouts. However, if anything needs to be tweaked, I’m very flexible at changing things. Finally, running distance is a lot more mental than physical. I aim at also developing the mind and being able to help push the body beyond what it thinks it can do.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Training sessions vary based off of where you are at in development. A typical session could be an interval session (track or on the road), a tempo session (road or trail), or a long run session (trail or road).
Career summary and accomplishments:
I was a 4 time district cross country champion from my freshman year to senior year of high school. I also won many district and area championships in the 1600m and 3200m in track. At my first college, I made the national team in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track. At my second college, I ran at the cross country conference and regional championships every year and also ran at indoor and outdoor conference in events ranging from the 1500m to 10,000m outdoors and the mile to 5,000m indoors.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my high school private coach my senior year of high school. He helped me improve over 20 seconds for the 3200m and over 8 seconds for the 1600m. He taught me a lot about what I know and helped me realize my potential in the sport.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
My biggest priority is keeping you safe, and preventing any injuries. This sport can be very taxing and stressful at times, and I understand that because I’ve been there. I strive to provide a welcoming atmosphere, while also pushing you to your limit to be the best athlete you can be. Most importantly, I want you to have fun! If you’re not having fun, then you shouldn’t be doing this sport in the first place. I will do my best to make your journey as fun and enjoyable as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
