“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!”

"Working with Coach Laura has been transformational on many levels. I went into the coaching process looking for a bit of a unicorn. Coach Laura is the unicorn! She balances thoughtful guidance and feedback (based on empirically based research and articles) with positive enthusiasm for the work we put in while also nonjudgmentally accepting that life happens which impacts our running. Most impactful to me is that Coach Laura sees me as the whole person and wants to enhance my love of running rather than usurp the joy through rigidity and harshness! Intead, I've learned more than I ever hoped to learn from just a year of Coach Laura. Yes, there have been Personal Records acquired and I'm grateful for those, but more importantly, she has helped me appreciate, understand, and respect running so that my mindset is not just, "Run, run, run," but being thoughtful about how I'm running, how I'm recovering, and how I'm training (which is all impacted by all that other factors in our lives, too). It has been a privilege to train with Coach Laura and I look forward to the many more miles together!"

“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.”
