Emily R.

I have been a distance runner for 17 years. I have always been the "planner" of the group; implementing workouts and plans for running groups and friends. In the last few years I have become a pacer for many marathons and I truly enjoy coaching others to their goals on the course.

I am a Boston marathon finisher and repeated qualifier. I finished in the top 10 overall at the Louisville Marathon running a 3:20 marathon. I have been a part of the Nike pace team for the last 3 years and am returning to pace the Chicago Marathon this year as well as the Memphis and Carmel Marathon. I placed 2nd overall female at the 50k distance and in the top 5 at the 50 mile distance.

As my client, my goal would be for you to enjoy your training. While some days may be challenging, overall you should love running, avoid burn out and improve....all while having a life :). Let's face it, unless this is your paid gig, you have a job, family and a social life. I believe in efficient workouts, periodization and recovery workouts as well as sufficient rest. I intend to build your plan around YOU and YOUR needs, not around the text book runner.
