More About Coach Abby
I’ve coached for 8 years. I started out in person at my own gym, where I trained both youth athletes and adults, and now I coach running and strength online through Wild Dog Athletics. Most of my athletes are endurance athletes: runners from the mile up to 100 miles, plus kids and teens who want to get stronger for their sport. With youth athletes I focus on building a strength base that keeps them healthy through a long season, and I work with middle school and high school.
I’ve been running competitively since high school, where I ran cross country and track. I kept running on the roads through college and then moved up to ultramarathons. Over the past 7 years I’ve finished 14 ultras, including third woman at my first 100-miler. I’ve also lifted every week for those 7 years on a progressive program, and that strength work is a big reason I finish my races strong. I know firsthand how much it can do for an endurance athlete.
Sessions are live over video, so I watch every rep and cue your form in real time. Most athletes only need a few dumbbells or bands to start. Each session runs about 45 minutes.
- A dynamic warm-up and mobility work.
- Lower body strength: squats, hinges like deadlifts, and single-leg work like split squats and step-ups to build balance and stability.
- Upper body strength: pushing and pulling moves like push-ups, rows and overhead presses. These build strong arms, shoulders and back for arm drive and posture.
- Core work, with a focus on staying stable and strong under fatigue.

Client Reviews
Stella (Collegiate equestrian) (Testimonial)
I started training with Abby at Wild Dog Athletics in October 2024 and have had such positive experience. I am a show jumper and have struggled for a long time to build the strength and stamina to manage such a powerful animal over long and difficult courses. After just a few months, I have noticed such an immense difference in not only the way I ride, but the way I feel. I feel so much stronger and secure, ready to keep going when I come out of the ring. Abby has been such an amazing motivator and friend to me, and she has helped me truly believe in myself. Not only has my physical strength improved, but my mental strength is growing and continues to develop with her help!
Tony (Runner) (Testimonial)
Abby is an excellent strength coach. She really listens and puts together smart, thoughtful programming. She is flexible and open to making adjustments along the way, checks in regularly, and is great at encouragement. She helps keep you focused on your goals while still pushing you to improve. She also helped me dial in very specific routines to strengthen my weak areas, which has made a real difference in how I train and feel. I highly recommend working with her.
Anna (High school/collegiate equestrian) (Testimonial)
I started training with Abby at Wild Dog Athletics in December 2024 and, wow, it has been truly an amazing experience! She has created a personalized plan that meets my goals and needs, and I have noticed a huge difference in my strength, especially while riding my horses. Every interaction I have with Abby, either through texts or during our remote sessions, puts me in a great mood, and she also makes things enjoyable! Abby helped me slowly build routines, habits, and an appreciation for working out, all of which I will be able to carry with me throughout the next years of my life in college, and I’m so grateful for all her hard work!
Jodi (Parent of high school/collegiate XC and track runner) (Testimonial)
T is killing it….he’s officially the fastest freshman in history, he ran a blazing 25:39 8k time last weekend to set the record. We were talking about you this week….they have weight training twice per week and T said that because of workouts with you, he is the one that knows what he is doing and has the best form. He likes to be safe but I think he likes showing off to everyone that you taught him everything he knows.
