More About Coach Elizabeth

Certifications: RRCA Certified Running Coach, ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, ISSA Certified Sports Nutritionist, First Aid and CPR Certified.

I love everything about running, and my passion for this sport has inspired first-timers as well as burnt-out veterans. Based in NYC, Central Park is my favorite place to train. I run in humid summer days, snow, rain and everything in between. I’ve raced everything from a 5K to an ultramarathon, and appreciate the differences and challenges each distance presents it’s runners.

If you are looking to run your first 5K-marathon, eat healthier, lose weight, build muscle, sleep better, fit into those skinny jeans – we can get you there together. If you don’t think running is YOUR thing, we can find something fun that is! I am a firm believer that it is never too late to try something new. And it is definitely never too late to train for your first race.

I understand how intimidating the running world can be. Truth be told, I ran for the love of it but never raced for years because I was too intimidated. I will help calm your nerves, make you laugh, and tell you everything I can to prepare you for your race. Before you know it, not only will you be clocking some serious miles, you’ll understand race lingo – taper, tempo runs, chafing, splits, and more!

Come on. Get off the couch, lace up those shoes and let’s go run!

I cater to the individual needs of each client. Upon getting to know you, your current fitness level, goals, time-line, diet - we get something together for YOU. Whether your goal is to build muscle and lose fat, reboot your eating habits, run your first 5K or qualify for the Boston Marathon - I can get you there.

My schedule and availability varies per day and week, due to my current roster of athletes and my own training schedule. I do my best to accommodate everyone, but please be patient - I cannot control the weather. :-)

I offer one-on-one pacing sessions and monthly training plans. For one-on-ones, I will help you with your form, focus, warmup, cool down and the specific goal of that run. You can expect me to run with you, ride a bike beside you, or stand and time you - depending on the workout, paces and your needs.

Monthly training plans are individual and created for YOU - your schedule, goals, needs and likes.

Coach Elizabeth was very helpful -- both knowledgeable and motivating. Highly recommend her.

I can’t speak highly enough about Liz and her coaching services. She not only was there to give me training plans, but she supported, motivated, and inspired me throughout my marathon training. Liz provided immediate responses to my thousands of weekly questions, guided me with strategies and techniques, and became an essential part of my training. Her enthusiasm, positive energy, encouragement, athletic ability, and marathon expertise, gave me peace of mind and confidence with every run. Liz helped me accomplish a new PR on the run and I look forward to working with her again for my next marathon! I know that in the next race, she will push me and challenge me even more, to help me succeed with my new goal. I HIGHLY recommend Liz as a running coach — for anyone and everyone — no matter what experience or ability — she has the knowledge to push professional athletes and the ease and kindness to help beginners. She is a MUST to your running experience.
I’ve been running for 15 years, and have had the honor to work with some excellent coaches. Liz is in a league of her own. Her training program helped me shave 21 minutes off my marathon PR, from 3:55 to 3:34. She is an incredibly knowledgeable, caring, & attentive person. She listens to you, understands what motivates you, then coaches you accordingly. I really appreciated this one-on-one, personalized approach. Whether you’re looking to train for your first race or break a PR, I’d recommend Liz to you with the highest confidence.
Under Coach Corky's guidance, I've set PRs in the Half Marathon, placed in local 5Ks and 10Ks, and am now training for my first Marathon. She's always supportive, and knows how to push me while still making training fun.
