"Before I started running in a group setting, I just assumed that everyone would be faster than me. It was so intimidating! I was afraid that I would get out of breath so much faster than everyone else never be able to keep up with the group. Once I started running with Amie, I realized that this was not what running is about--it was a healthy way to share time with others, get healthier, push yourself and set a positive tone for your day. She was so quick to share tools that have helped her running journey and was a wealth of knowledge. It was never about how fast you ran, but whether or not you were meeting your own personal goals. I can honestly say that I would probably not still be running if I hadn't have met Amie--and now I am training for a half marathon! Her love of running is contagious and her kindness and positivity is inspiring."

I specialize in coaching Marathon and Ultrarunning, so outside of private coaching with me, this is how you can find out how to optimize your training and run holistically at your best and reach your goal.

  • Must have 6+ months (preferably 1+ years) of running experience and can run regularly for at least an hour prior to this training group. 
  • I am currently privately training runners online for multiple fall marathons including Berlin, Chicago, Indy, Detroit, Boston, the Great Wall Marathon, and smaller regional races. 
  • Please be aware marathon training to perform at a high level requires at least 16-18 weeks (bare minimum, 12-14) of time with a proper base period completed. 
  • How is this different from private coaching with me? Private coaching provides consistent running analysis, a training plan fully customized to the athlete as we go along, and involves ongoing technical workout monitoring and 1:1 feedback from me. 
  • A training group involves a set plan chosen based upon your starting point and current fitness level, periodic feedback on how to adjust the plan yourself for various scenarios as the training goes on, and group targeted training tips. The training group allows access to professional distance coaching at lower price point, plus additional group support from those with a similar goal who are also taking it seriously. 
  • Fill out the waitlist as I will run this program based on enough participants from runners who are serious about their goal. 

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

  • Participants of the Learn or Return to Trail Running Program will easily be able to participate when this is held.

Don't See Something You Want to Learn or Think Would Be Amazing?

Or at least fun… Like I want to train a group and then group road trip/party bus to run Zion Ultra (100 Mile | 100K | 50K | Half Marathon)… but only after I PR the marathon this fall…

But I digress… so
