Head Running Coach Amie

I’m Amie Dworecki, BS, MA, MBA, a “Type-A” multi-certified coach, running fanatic, a small business owner, and caretaker to my 85-year-old Mom. 

I started my company to help transform runners so that they can reach massive marathon and ultrarunning goals and feel empowered and successful. 

Frustrated from having to stop running from another injury, I developed a holistic method that helped me return to running in top condition, qualify for the Boston Marathon multiple times (when everyone else said I couldn’t), and train for a sub-3-hour marathon in my 40s – all while staying injury-free.

I’ve been featured in Runner’s World, Women’s Running and Ultrarunning Magazines, Nike.com, and Trail Runner because I know how to help prevent injuries and mistakes, get into top physical and mental condition, and truly improve running. 

When I’m not coaching, running, or assisting my Mom, you can find me in my places of Zen – running out on long country roads or trails with my dog, Cody, having a relaxing moment with a cat (or they are forcing me to…), or in my organic garden.

Holistic run coaching with The Faster Marathon Program Gets Results:

5/5
"My biggest fear was getting injured after getting shin splints on very light weekly volume... most runners do get injured. 
So, when I hired Amie, our number one goal was to stay FREE OF INJURY. If you are injured, you cannot accomplish any of your running goals while recovering, and so that will always be my number one goal.
I am pleased that I was able to get up to 55 miles a week without any injuries through the process. I was able to finish my marathon strong and injury-free in terrible conditions of 22- to 30-mile an hour wind. I just walked away and had lunch! 
She truly understands how to train a runner with big goals on the horizon... If you want a coach that can help you reach your goals... then Amie is the coach you want on your side."

I went from having so many injuries that my doctor told me that maybe I wasn't meant to be a runner. Now, I'm running Boston Qualifying times. So I'm trying to understand how I'm able to run and feel so well, after years of just the opposite... because I'm used to working soooo hard all the time. Now, I'm almost never sore, have energy throughout the day, and am really beginning to enjoy running (like I did when I first started). The way I used to approach running and stamina... eventually causes you to fall off the cliff and for performance to begin a downward spiral... that's what's been happening with me every year, with rock bottom being an injury that forces me to stop running altogether. This idea of not "surviving the distance" but instead striving to be better at the distance is what I feel like I'm doing now, and is very new... I always used to approach my long runs as me just trying to survive.  There's so much I haven't known, haven't done right for years, the only thing that was driving me before was a passion but without the proper understanding/knowledge to support it. It's almost like I'm having a "moment" in regards to my running, because I'm not just surviving all the time, but thriving, in a way that I haven't been for years.  For years I was just focused on making it through a season, injury-free. Almost like my perspective was downward (so to speak), like I was just focused on not getting injured and surviving week to week. How I've approached running in the past and how I approach it and run now because of you has been a seismic shift for me."

"It was nice to change things up, both speed and distance-wise - and I could see genuine progress. I've run races like I've never done before. I've also learned the importance of actually resting your body and a lot more about better fueling. I would recommend Amie because she really helped me to enjoy running again. Before hiring her, running had stopped being something I enjoyed, and started being something that felt discouraging and only did for the exercise. I now look forward to running again, and she's definitely helped me to become a stronger runner!"

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
about Personal Run Coaching with The Faster Marathon Program

Here’s precisely what you can expect when you set up a call:

After you sign up using the form below, you’ll get a reply to schedule a call within two business days. Please check your SPAM folder if you do not receive a response. 

  • Your call will last around 15-20 minutes. Sometimes it’s longer if we need to talk more in-depth about your situation. 
  • I’ll first get an overview of your story: your background, what you want to do, and what’s happening. 
  • I’ve trained in a Holistic approach, so you may get questions that you haven’t thought to ask yourself or haven’t heard from other coaches – so you can get new ideas about your situation.
  • You’ll get increased clarity on your exact targets, motivations, and struggles.
  • Then, you get the best strategies so you can move forward.
  • You’ll get professional feedback about your race, event, or outcome and the path I’d most likely take (as this is only based on our brief discussion) if I were your coach so that you can get results

I’ll also send an outline of your strategy session, so you’ll have it summarized by a professional coach, which will be valuable to you so you can easily see what is happening.  

So whether we work together or not, you’ll walk away from this session with an improved mindset and more knowledge, so you can move forward with more confidence in resolving your struggles. 

The differences you get with Running with Life Holistic Marathon Coaching are:

  • A unique Holistic Marathon Coaching Method: You get the benefits of more comprehensive coaching so you can increase your chances of success.
  • Specialization in Your Goal: Instead of coaches who try to coach everyone in everything, holistic, women-specific marathon coaching helps women marathoners overcome the same problems you face more frequently so you get the experience you need to help you reach your goal.
  • Training That Makes Sense For You: While many untrained people think they can coach simply because they run or do it as a part-time gig, you also benefit from a professional coach with training and experience in multiple forms of coaching, so you can get specific marathon coaching and training that makes sense for you. 
  • Familiar with Your Experience: a coach who has only known life as an elite athlete, is in a younger age range, or is of a different gender may not fully understand your struggles; instead, you can get a coach who understands YOU.
  • Personalized Experience: Instead of an app, AI, static plan, or generic coach, you get a holistic blend of the art and science of you and what counts outside your running with your training  – so you get marathon coaching that better prevents injury and maximizes your results. 
  • You can get additional customized coaching if you need help with other issues that you feel are affecting your performance, such as coaching to develop/fine-tune a performance mindset, weight loss coaching, or fueling and nutrition coaching from a Registered Sports Dietitian, so you can truly be the best you can be.

Because, unlike an app, a real coach cannot handle unlimited clients, there tend to be limited roster slots available – so you can find out about available spaces in your free strategy session.

The Faster Marathon Program is designed to Holistically Transform You and Your running to make you the best you can be. 

  • I developed the Program from 30 years of experience with running, training, and coaching clients to success.
  • The Faster Marathon Program helps you understand the essential elements impacting your performance and build a bridge from where you are now to your goal.

    While other running coaches are trained to look solely at running, that leaves much of your performance on the table since that’s not the only factor.

     

    Instead, I developed the Program to consider the Five Elements of Holistic Running Transformation: your Training, Recovery, Fueling, Mindset, and the Essentials so you can fully reach your full potential in running AND thrive!

Most studies on how runners respond to training and injury prevention have been done on college-aged male athletes in their early 20s.

So much of what is published about run training, which traditional running coaches follow, is based upon this information. 

But, as we age, a strategy that works for someone in their early 20s would fail due to a different need for sleep, a different timeframe for the best recovery response, and the total training load you can handle before your body breaks down.

The body handles external stress from work and life differently as well. 

And new research increasingly shows that women also cannot train the same as men.

So those of us who are not 20-year-old male athletes are helped by a different, more holistic transformational approach to training, recovery, fueling/nutrition, mindset, and the lifestyle essentials that help you and your running thrive. 

With online coaching, you can access your training plans, workouts, and coach from anywhere via email, an app, phone, or Zoom, so you don’t have to go to a gym or any location to get in your training. 

Unlike some coaches, I am okay if you need to do workouts at home/on a treadmill, push a stroller, repeat specific locations, or do what you need to do to get things done. 

You have different options for the type of coaching you can get, depending on your needs holistically. 

It is an easy, step-by-step process to set everything up and start. 

Schedule a no-obligation free strategy session to learn more; you can get a money-back guarantee if you decide coaching is not for you.

Unlike other places that judge based on your pace, there is no judgment here. 

Holistic Coaching accommodates runners of all levels who want to take on their epic marathon and ultramarathon challenges anywhere in the world.

I believe your result relies more holistically not only on your level but on your visionmindset, and consistency

“Hard work beats talent when talent don’t work hard.” -Tim Notke, basketball coach 

If you have a dream of running Boston but feel far from that, that’s fine; I’ve helped runners like you reach Boylston St. 

If your longest run has been 3.5 miles, but you envision yourself going 350 (like the Alaskan Iditarod footrace), that’s fine too – and you don’t want to go super fast for that anyway.

If you read that you can run on Mt. Kilimanjaro and now think it would be cool to do – I like your style. Let’s do it because I can help you.  

While it doesn’t happen overnight, people have done these things, and so can you. You need the correct map to get there, and I’m like your GPS for these types of dreams.

“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.”
― Lao Tzu

You don’t need a lot of running experience, just that you are serious about your goal (i.e., this isn’t for you if you signed up for a race at the last minute without any training or do not know if you can commit to the time or effort to train for the race.)

It’s also okay if you’ve been training and want someone to fine-tune your plan. 

Runners that get top results tend to be consistent and enjoy running (or at least did enjoy it before – some people talk to me after they burned themselves out). 

Since there are many factors involved, it’s hard to know how many weeks it would take until we know more about your situation from the complimentary strategy session.

Training time depends on your training history and schedule, what else you have in your life right now, and how much you want to run or cross-train.

If you’ve been out of running for a while, it will naturally take longer to build up to your goal.

I have helped runners serious about their goals be successful in the half-, especially if it’s got an extra challenge, such as a destination race, or they have aspirations of eventually running a marathon or longer event.

Your initial call is free with no obligation.

Plus, you can try out personal coaching with a 30-day money-back guarantee or go month-to-month with no requirement to continue.
