Client Stories
Last couple 3-4 years I've been sliding backwards with speed and not having as much fun. Post menopause I got slower and it was miserable. Running was not as fun as it used to be.
​
As they say, keep doing the same thing and you'll get the same result. So I went outside of myself and hired a running coach, Lauren.
​
In our 1 year together I gave her 3 big goals that I wanted to achieve.
#1 to run more then 100 miles in the alotted race time. DONE. Finished with 105 miles!
#2 To be on the podium for a specific trail race that I loved doing every year. DONE. On the podium I was!
#3 To beat my time in a 3 day stage race I had done a couple times before. DONE. I took 53 minutes off my overall time! Bonus, I made the podium too!
If your running body has changed due to weight gain/loss, menopause or other physical changes I hope you will talk to Lauren about it. I'm glad I did. Running is fun again!!!
