Book Private Track-and-field Lessons with Coach Heather

I’m a former collegiate runner and endurance athlete who ran across America—an experience that shaped my passion for coaching the whole athlete. As an elite-level holistic coach, I combine performance training, functional movement, personalized nutrition, and mindset strategies to help runners unlock their full potential. Whether you’re building a base, chasing a PR, or reclaiming your confidence, I meet you where you are and coach you beyond what you thought possible.

My coaching goes far beyond splits and stats—it’s about building the mental, physical, and emotional edge that separates good athletes from great ones. I help you manage every part of your “game” by:

• Creating customized training plans that fit your goals, schedule, and performance level

• Teaching proper running mechanics to prevent injury and improve efficiency

• Optimizing your nutrition and recovery for long-term energy, strength, and resilience

• Developing a champion mindset using proven techniques like visualization, breathwork, and NLP

• Tracking progress and adapting your plan to make sure you’re always moving forward with purpose

Whether you’re coming back from injury, aiming to level up your race times, or just want a stronger foundation, I bring experience, strategy, and support to help you stay focused, consistent, and confident—every step of the way.

Every session is intentional, structured, and designed to meet you where you are—physically and mentally. Here’s what you can expect:

• Dynamic Warm-Up & Mobility (10–15 min): We start by priming your body with movement prep, mobility drills, and activation to reduce injury risk and improve performance.

• Focused Training Block (30–40 min): Whether it’s speed work, endurance building, hill training, or strength-focused drills, this segment is tailored to your current goals and progression level. You’ll get real-time feedback on form, pacing, and technique.

• Mindset Integration (5–10 min): We’ll include a short mindset reset—whether that’s breathwork, visualization, or reflection—to sharpen your mental game and build resilience.

• Cooldown & Recovery (10 min): We end with light movement, stretching, and a recovery plan to support your next session and long-term growth.

Each session is built around your goals, with space for questions, coaching cues, and encouragement. Whether in-person or virtual, you’ll leave every session feeling stronger, more focused, and one step closer to peak performance.

My high school xc coach was the most incredible coach that Ive ever had. He is in part, the reason for the person I am today. He embodies every quality that I strive to be as a coach! He not only trained me to be an incredible athlete; He also taught me many life lessons and trained me in how to be a good human.

I believe great coaching is about more than just training plans—it’s about developing the whole person. As a former collegiate runner and one of the few athletes to run across America, I understand the discipline, resilience, and heart it takes to reach big goals.

When I work with athletes, I focus on:

Safety first: Proper form, progressive training, and injury prevention are top priorities.

Individualized coaching: Every athlete has different needs—my programs are customized, not cookie-cutter.

Character and confidence: I aim to build self-belief, accountability, and mental toughness both on and off the course.

Open communication: Parents are kept informed, athletes are supported, and questions are always welcome.

Long-term success: My goal is to equip athletes with skills, habits, and mindset tools that will benefit them for life—not just one season.

Above all, I want athletes and parents to know that I care deeply about each runner’s growth, well-being, and journey—because to me, every step matters.
