Coaching Philosophy
Consistency Over Time
For most people, running is rarely just about running. Life can be complicated. We all face obstacles, big and small. We come to running for different reasons and it helps us become and remain our best STRONG selves.
Strong Run Coaching is client-centered, while also being performance-focused. We strive to build respectful alliances with our athletes. We understand how to weave training into busy life so that our athletes can train consistently, stay healthy, and experience well-rounded success. Not only does this improve their running, it improves their health and overall well-being.
Running is about making a commitment to ourselves, to face challenges head on, and to persevere. Running is about training to endure the challenges of life. Running is about training to be the best version of ourselves, for ourselves and for those who love us and need us to be well.
To learn more about how you can begin your running journey we invite you to contact us today. We look forward to helping you find your STRONG!
