More About Coach Emily

I am a certified RRCA running coach and military trained professional with experience training clients for events ranging from the 5k to the full 26.2 marathon. I've trained beginners to successfully complete their first event and also experienced runners who desire faster run times. I believe in teaching you along the way so that you can carry training knowledge with you confidently. Personal accomplishments in running range from winning overall female awards in the 5k to the half marathon and over 100 age group awards.

I have raced as an adult for the past 8 years in all from the 5k to the full marathon and triathlon. I have over 100 trophies and medals for winning the overall female and age group.

I have been recognized and promoted in the army based on my physical fitness accomplishments and set a record for the highest physical fitness training score.

I offer one-on-one sessions for pacing, breathing, and form assessment. During these sessions I will also go over proper stretching, warm-up, and cool-down. One-on-one- sessions are also for those who wish to run side-by-side with a coach or have direct supervision for those who are ready for speed work.

I also offer individualized plans for those who are experienced runners seeking faster run times and also for beginners who want to complete their first event.

For those who are desiring the physical fitness required to pass a specific test for employment or for basic training preparation, I will train you for that as well.

Very passionate about her craft. Committed to making my kid better. Cant ask for much more than that.

Coach Emily was awesome! She was very flexible and did what needed to be done to make me a better athlete. Will definitely use her in the future.

The best gift I received from a friend was a gift certificate to train with Emily! When I started the plan, Emily showed me how to correctly do the exercises and this gave me confidence that I would be doing them correctly and avoiding injuries. Throughout the plan Emily provided encouraging words that kept me motivated. At the same time she also gave me a hard time when I needed it. 
I enjoy Emily’s upbeat attitude and the way she pushes me to get the most out of every workout. It becomes more of a fun thing to do rather than something I "have" to do. I find myself smiling through a lot more than I figured I would when I first started out. She is very encouraging and never seems to focus on the negative of any given situation. She always capitalizes on any improvements and/or accomplishments in a major way. I now know that I don’t have to settle for what life simply puts in front of me, I reach out with both hands and grab life by the horns now.
I have been running competitively for more than 5 years. My ultimate goal is to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Until the past three months my training consisted of running haphazardly without any plan as to time or distance. Emily's winning times at all distances have impressed me. When I learned that she creates individualized training plans, I signed up. Her plan for my marathon training has improved my strength and speed. Since beginning the plan I have set a PR in the 10K of 42:00. I highly recommend Coach Watkins if you are looking to improve your running strength and speed, general health or need large doses of support.
Coach Emily was always super invested in me and knows how to change things up. She tried to understand me personally and not just give cookie cutter solutions to my needs.
