A little bit about me…
I wasn’t always a runner…
I started running in high school after joining the cross country team and immediately fell in love.
I wasn’t the strongest runner - but I really enjoyed going to practice, eventually being voted most valuable athlete and most valuable teammate by my coaches and team respectively.
After high school, I continued running while studying Kinesiology at the U of S. I trained with the Cross Country and Track teams, and eventually joined a provincial triathlon club. Over the next 3 years, I participated in 3 ITU Sprint Triathlon World Championships on Team Canada (Age-Group Team).
I was dying to travel and see the world after I graduated, so I moved to Spain to undertake a Master in High Performance Sport: Strength and Conditioning.
I became obsessed with endurance sports and improving physical performance and went on to complete a 200hr internship in strength and conditioning. I learned everything I could about how to use strength training to both improve performance and reduce injury risk before moving on.
Eventually, I went out on my own to start Running with Regnier - focusing primarily on improving performance in endurance runners (and the occasional triathlete). I have used science-backed approaches to help both beginners and seasoned athletes run first their marathon, qualify (and run) in the Boston marathon, race in 100km+ ultra marathons and Ironman’s (and every race in between!).
All running sessions and strength workouts that I offer in my 1-1 coaching packages are uniquely created for the athlete I’m working with - to achieve their best performance.
