But running does not have to be that way! You can make progress, and actually enjoy the process.

How? By training smarter, not harder. Let me take the guesswork out of running for you.

How Runners Can Optimize a Strength Workout

No Guesswork, Just Running

Coaching is available for all levels of runners, whether you are an absolute beginner or an experienced runner. I use evidence-based methods and provide continual support. No cookie cutter training plans here. I take the guesswork out of training for you; in return, you gain someone supporting you every step of your journey.

“Laura's training plans effectively keep both my short-term and long-term goals in mind, whether it's shooting for a PR in a 5K or trying to safely build my base mileage and become a more economical runner. And when I got injured last summer, Laura developed the perfect return to running plan for me that helped me gradually get back on my feet and regain my pre-injury fitness. Beyond that, she's a fantastic communicator and deeply cares about her athletes - their schedules, their personal struggles, and all of the other factors that one may not think affects their running, but are equally important to long-term fitness goals.”

“I can't say enough good things about how you have structured this build-up!...It's just felt so seamless and fun, which has definitely helped with my confidence and continued enjoyment of running. I also remember how I always used to be nursing some sort of joint injury when I would start back up running; I was constantly icing a knee or ankle. This build has not only felt great mentally but also physically. My everything feels great... I definitely think your focus on strength training has greatly contributed to this and has helped me feel much stronger and in-control for my runs (especially uphill).”

“My coaching experience with Laura has helped me tremendously in becoming a stronger runner both physically and mentally. I’ve learned about the importance of incorporating strength training, being open to challenging yourself and most importantly, embracing your self-confidence in your ability to accomplish any race distance. Also, throughout my work with Laura, my fueling and hydration strategies have significantly improved as having GI issues, can definitely affect your training or race performance. I’m very thankful for Laura’s dedication and hard work in helping me become a stronger runner!”

“When I made the decision in 2017 to finally run another marathon, I knew I wanted to hire an online coach to help me train. I’m so happy I met Laura! Her training plans, encouragement and attentiveness to my objectives have helped me with many races over the last 18 months and even through an injury that derailed that original marathon plan. She’s also helped me figure out that I prefer half marathons and it’s because of her coaching that I ran a 10-minute PR at a recent half. I know that whatever comes up, and at whatever distance, Laura will help me conquer any running challenge.”

“Coach Laura is knowledgeable, responsive, and passionate! With her help, I was able to attain my PR of 3:37 at Chicago, but I also learned so much about the sport. I had run over 10 marathons before seeking Laura’s coaching services and was so impressed by her vast knowledge. She created a plan for me that was designed for success – it was based on my personal goals, weekly performances and industry research. Laura is someone who truly loves what she does and her enthusiasm for running is contagious.”
