Emilie L.

I started running in high school with the cross-country team and I've now been a runner for over 15 years. In that time, I've raced 5ks, marathons, and everything in between. Running is a really important part of my life: it helps me to stay physically healthy, but also does wonders for my stress levels. I don't know what I would do without it.

I became a certified coach in September, 2011, and have worked with individuals and groups to help them achieve their running goals. My goal is to help you identify and achieve your goals as a runner, and to do so in a way that is enjoyable and healthy. Whether you are working up to running a mile without stopping or looking for a PR, I can help you become the runner you want to be.

I am open to doing one-off or as-needed sessions to work on specific goals or problems you're encountering in your running, and I'd also be happy to meet on a regular basis and offer support, training advice, and guidance as well as a customized training plan as you work toward your goal.

We will start with a free consultation that will take place either in person or via Skype. This session will allow us to establish what your goals are, and begin to work on developing a plan for achieving them. From there, I can provide you with a personalized training plan (if applicable), and/or provide weekly support via email or through sessions on Skype or in person. If you are local to the New York City area, I can also provide you with coached workouts. We can tailor our work together to fit your goals, budget, and schedule.
