Do you need help preparing for your trail or ultramarathon goal?
Maybe you don’t know how to train right for your event, you don’t have the support or accountability you need, or you’ve been injured and want to avoid that happening again.
For all these reasons, I developed Holistic Training to comprehensively help runners like you reach your massive goals.
It can help you train the right way and improve your trail and ultra performance so that instead of worrying, you can hit the start line feeling unstoppable.
You can get a free strategy session to find out how to reach your goals for the experience of a lifetime.
-Coach Amie
You can focus on a clear path to success with less stress so you can reach your biggest goals.
Get all the bases covered so you prevent excess fatigue, aches, pains, or injuries.
You can move forward with professional feedback and be prepared at the start
Knowing what to do holistically helps you improve your fitness in the ways that matter for performance.
(... or being under-prepared.) Holistic training emphasizes the things that make you both run and feel great.
I’m Amie Dworecki – CEO and Head Running Coach for Running with Life.
Decades of working in coaching and training helped me learn how to overcome struggles and holistically improve my running performance to conquer the challenges of training for a sub-4 hour 50K, qualifying for the Western States 100-mile ultramarathon, and landing on the podium in multiple ultras.
So I started my coaching company with a mission to help runners reach their massive goals so they can feel great about their accomplishments.

The differences you get with Running with Life Ultrarunning Coaching are:
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 Holistic Coaching Method is designed to transform you and your running to make you the best you can be.
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 don’t limit how you need to train and 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 vision, mindset, 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.
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.
