Science-backed running and strength coaching RUNNING COACHING THAT MOVES YOU FORWARD
You don’t need to be ‘fit enough’ to start. You don’t need to run 6 days a week. You just need a coach who sees the whole picture: your body, your goals, your life.
It’s about training smarter, with personalized support and programming that adapts to your goals, schedule, and real life. That’s what I offer.
WHY THIS COACHING IS DIFFERENT
You don’t just want a plan. You want to feel confident you’re training in a way that works.
That means:A program designed around your body, goals, and lifestyle
Science-backed training, not general advice
Strength work that makes you a faster, more durable runner
Flexibility when life happens
Direct access to a coach who actually knows your name
THE STRENGTH ADVANTAGE
If you’ve ever plateaued, dealt with recurring injuries, or just felt like something was missing in your training... odds are, it’s strength.
Here’s the truth: running alone isn’t enough to build the resilience your body needs to handle volume, intensity, and long-term performance.
Strength training isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s essential. That’s why I include strength programming in most of my coaching packages. This combo of run + strength coaching helps you move better, recover faster, and stay in the sport longer. If you're already following a solid strength program or have past coaching experience, a run-only option might be right for you. But, for most runners, this integrated approach is where the magic really happens.

Feel free to send me a DM on Instagram to say hi and ask any questions. Sometimes that’s the easiest way to get the ball rolling.

Once we’ve decided to move forward, I’ll walk you through a simple onboarding process. You’ll choose the package that best fits your needs, fill out a detailed training history and goals questionnaire, set up your payment method, and sign your coaching agreement. I’ve got you covered each step of the way.

IS THIS COACHING FOR ME?
You don’t need to be fast, injury-free, or training for a big race to benefit from coaching.
This coaching is designed for runners of all experience levels. From those working toward their first 5K, to ultramarathoners chasing new distances, to runners returning after injury or time away. If you’re looking for a structured plan that fits around your life (not the other way around), you're in the right place.
This might be a good fit if:
—> You want to run consistently, without the constant cycle of starting over
—> You’ve been sidelined by injury before and want a plan that supports long-term health
—> You’re motivated, but life is busy and you need a plan that adapts
—> You’re training for a big goal: A marathon, an ultra, a faster time, or simply to feel strong again
—> You’ve outgrown cookie-cutter or AI training plans and want expert guidance from a real human
—> You’re managing other health concerns (like weight, anxiety, perimenopause, or chronic pain) and want a coach who truly listens
—> You want more than just workouts: You want education, accountability, and support that meets you where you are
FAQs

Most online running coaches hand you a plan and disappear. I don't do that.
What sets this coaching apart is the blend of science-backed programming, real-world coaching experience, and ongoing support that adapts to your lifestyle, not just your pace chart. Every runner I work with receives a custom plan built on proven training principles and has direct access to me for questions, adjustments, and guidance.
As a Calgary-based online running coach, I support runners locally and across North America with training that works in real life, not just on paper. Whether you're prepping for the Calgary Marathon, chasing a BQ, or just getting back into running after a break, I’m here to help you achieve your goals with my online running coach programs.
-
Not at all! While I’m based in Calgary, Alberta, I coach runners from all over Canada and the U.S. Everything is fully remote and delivered through your custom online training platform (Final Surge), and we connect through coaching calls, texts, and check-ins.
That said, if you're a local runner looking for a Calgary running coach who truly understands our terrain, weather, and race scene, you’ll benefit from my lived knowledge of training in this city.

Because if you want to run well and keep running long-term, then strength is non-negotiable.
Many of the runners I work with come to me frustrated by injury, burnout, or plateauing performance. The missing piece is often a lack of structured strength work. As an online strength and running coach, I design programs that specifically complement your running. We’re not talking random exercises or bodyweight yoga flows. This is progressive, high-impact strength training designed to support your running goals.
The result? Fewer injuries, better form, faster running, and the confidence to chase your next big milestone.
-
Great! If you’re already working with a strength coach or following a program designed for runners, we can skip that piece and focus on your custom running plan. But keep in mind: most general fitness programs (even group classes or bodyweight routines) aren’t enough to support long-distance running.
My goal is to make sure you're getting the kind of training that helps you run stronger and long term.
-
That depends on how much support you want, and where you're at in your training journey. If you're self-motivated and already following a smart strength plan, The Independent Runner might be enough. If you want strategy, guidance, and real conversation around your goals and challenges, I’d recommend The Supported Runner (my most popular package) for the monthly coaching calls.
If you’re not sure, you can fill out my coaching form and I’ll guide you toward the best fit.
-
Nope! I coach runners at all levels. From beginners working up to their first 10K to experienced athletes chasing sub-3:30 marathons or training for ultras. What matters more than your pace is your mindset. If you’re goal-driven, committed to the process, and ready to grow, then you’re in the right place.
-
Not at all. While many of my athletes are training for half marathons, full marathons, or ultras, I also work with runners training for 5Ks, 10Ks, and everything in between. My programs are tailored to your goals, whether that’s getting back into running post-injury, shaving 5 minutes off your PR, or running pain-free for the first time in years.
-
Yes! After filling out the coaching form, you can choose whether you’re ready to start or prefer to book a quick call to make sure it’s the right fit. I’m always happy to chat, answer your questions, and walk you through what the coaching would look like for you.
