Why I want to work with you

I am a runner, too. For years, I didn’t think that I “needed” or “deserved” to have a coach because I wasn’t a professional athlete. In 2020, I decided to hire a running coach (yes, coaches need coaches too!) and it completely changed the way I train. I no longer had to second guess my program (was I over training? not working hard enough?), and any time I had questions I got answers that were relevant to me. My coach validated my needs when I asked for an extra day off, and knew when to push me. I am forever grateful for her.

Having my own coach made me realize how much I wanted other runners to have the same experience as me. Our culture puts a lot of emphasis on constantly hustling and being “the best”, without taking into perspective the different things we go through as individuals. Regardless of their level, I want every runner to realize that their worth doesn’t depend on hitting certain times or comparing themselves to others. I want to help you work towards your goals while also fostering that love you have for running. I want you to develop into that balanced, life-long runner that your body and mind deserve.

My approach to coaching

Less hustle, more grace. I offer judgement-free coaching that allows you to show up exactly as you are.

While we work together, you will see that I put a heavy emphasis on communication. Building your training program is only part of the equation — I want to know how your runs feel. I want to challenge you, but I also understand that you have a life outside your training program. We all experience stress every day, from our jobs, our relationships, and our workouts. Whether you are training for your first 5k or you are trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon, all of this comes into play.

I am a UESCA certified running coach and I have a BSc and MSc from McGill University. The training I have done (and therefore the advice I will give) is based on science and evidence-based research.

What you will get

• Personalized running program based on where you are and where you want to go

• Running program delivered weekly through Training Peaks

How much it costs

My personalized run coaching costs CAD$ 150 per month (plus applicable taxes). This is a monthly subscription with no minimum duration. If you decide you want to cancel your subscription, just let me know before your next payment is due.

Due to the added complexity of trail running / ultra-marathon training, additional fees apply.

Note: My prices are in CAD, but as a virtual run coach, I am open to coaching anyone anywhere. :)
