More About Coach Erica

Today, I coach through my own business, Exclusive Endurance, where I work with athletes of all ages and experience levels—from youth athletes as young as 2 years old to masters athletes in their 70s and everything in between. I coach runners across a wide range of distances, from the 800 meters to ultramarathons, helping athletes train smarter, stay healthy, and reach their individual goals. I started my coaching business in 2018 as Run With Erica, which evolved into Exclusive Endurance in 2020 as the coaching community and services expanded.
I have over 13 years of coaching experience, beginning in 2013 as a High School Assistant Track Coach and later advancing to Head Cross Country and Track & Field Coach before launching my own business. During that time, I helped develop and grow successful track and cross country programs, guiding athletes from beginner levels to state-caliber competitors, with several going on to compete at the NCAA Division I and II levels.
I continue to work with many middle and high school athletes, particularly during the off-season, helping them stay strong, healthy, and prepared so they can enter their competitive seasons primed for success. More recently, I have specialized in helping athletes qualify for the Boston Marathon, complete the Marathon World Majors, win overall races and age group awards, return successfully from running setbacks, and achieve major endurance goals such as finishing ultramarathons and Spartan Ultras.
I am a certified running coach through USATF, RRCA, and REVO2LUTION RUNNING, and hold multiple certifications through NASM, including Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Nutrition Coach, and Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES). My coaching experience includes working with both individuals and large groups, with a strong focus on individualized training, performance development, strength integration, and injury prevention.
In addition to endurance coaching, I specialize in customized strength training for runners and have led bootcamp and HIIT-style classes. I also work with triathletes and individuals preparing for specialized military and K9 officer fitness testing. Many of the athletes I coach have achieved significant milestones under my guidance, including Personal Records and Boston Marathon qualifying times.

I have been racing competitively for over 26 years and continue to compete at the elite level today. I began my athletic career as a competitive soccer player, playing on high-level travel teams and at the varsity level in high school before realizing that running was my true passion. I transitioned to cross country and track in middle and high school, which ultimately led me to compete in NCAA Division I Cross Country, Indoor Track, and Outdoor Track at the University of Central Florida for four years.
During my time at UCF, I competed in the 5K and 3,000-meter steeplechase and was part of UCF’s first Conference USA Championship-winning team in 2010. After college, I transitioned to road racing and have since completed 15 marathons.
In 2017, I won the RRCA Western Regional Championship and the Napa Valley Marathon. In 2019, I qualified for the USA Olympic Trials Marathon with a time of 2:41:54 (6:11 per mile) and competed in the Trials in February 2020. I have also been the Orlando Track Shack Track Series Female Champion four times (2014–2015, 2020–2021, 2021–2022, and 2022–2023).
Today, I continue to train and compete in distances ranging from the 5K to the marathon, while coaching athletes to reach their highest level of performance and achieve their personal running goals.

I like to start with a consultation, either in person or via FaceTime, WhatsApp Video, or Zoom, to understand each client’s goals and how we can work together to achieve them while staying healthy. During this conversation, I consider all aspects of their background, including training history, past injuries, experience level, schedule, and current fitness.
From there, we determine the best approach, whether that’s in-person coaching, online training, or a combination of both. Training plans are delivered weekly or bi-weekly through FinalSurge, where I monitor progress through smartwatch data, FinalSurge metrics, and Strava. This allows me to track performance, provide feedback, and make adjustments as needed to ensure continued progress.

Client Reviews

Erica is awesome! She has a willingness to listen to you about your goals and tailors your training to meet them. She is professional, fun, and motivating. I look forward to making more progress with her.

Coach Erica was a great advocate for running overall. She took the time to understand my current ability, as well as goals, both short and long term going forward. Her knowledge in all three phases of running (warming up, the set, and cool down) was spot on. You leave the session with a path toward improvement and excitement to put in the work. Lastly, her knowledge goes beyond running. A really good understanding of fitness, nutrition, and yoga. This makes her a good coach and resource.

Tara Ramos We are so grateful for Coach Erica and the impact she’s had on our daughter. Her positive attitude, experience, and true passion for running have made such a difference. Hailey has improved tremendously under her guidance, but even more importantly, she has fallen even more in love with the sport. Erica is not just a coach, but a true mentor who motivates, encourages, and believes in her athletes. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to any athlete looking for an amazing running coach. Kenny Calhoun I can't say enough good things about Erica as a coach. Her energy is unmatched. She took me from an 8-min mile to a 7:39 half marathon in a matter of months. Not only is she a great coach, but the sense of accountability, determination, and community she brings is second to none. Paola Saenz Erica is an amazing running coach who truly tailors her training to each athlete’s individual needs. She is flexible, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping you progress in a way that feels sustainable and empowering. Her knowledge and experience really show—she knows her craft and knows how to bring out the best in her athletes. I’m incredibly grateful to train with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, personalized coaching. Sheyla Fisher If you have the opportunity to be trained per one of the best runner coach in Orlando in Person or Virtual do it. Her attitude and charisma are full of great vibes. She practices what she preached. Also have her own line of sport clothes. In different colors and great styles. I had the opportunity to spend time with her and What honor and pleasure! Justin Ciccarello The energy Coach Erica brings everyday is truly motivational. She is very passionate and professional to all her athletes. She has made running fun. If you are looking for a coach to push you for PRs and qualifiers, Exclusive Endurance is right for you!
I wanted to take my running to the next level and decided to hire Erica. She has come up with training plans that take into account my current level of fitness, my schedule, and my goals. We started in mid October, and by thanksgiving, I got a new 10k PR. Several weeks later, I earned a course PR at a half marathon, followed by another course PR 2 weeks later. Not only have I seen results, but Erica is energetic, fun, encouraging. I highly recommend her!!
Erica was our son’s first distance coach. He’s been running for less than 2 years but has excelled quickly. She taught him how to run properly, focus on form, to listen to his body, and most of all she encouraged him through the learning process and the training! When he didn’t think he could, she helped him believe he could. Erica is always so upbeat, and positive even when things don’t go as planned and that is what my son needed. This approach really allowed him to love running as someone new to the sport and In his second full season of cross country this past fall he made it to the high school FHSAA state championships and made the All Orlando Sentinel coverage area 2nd team. Best yet, he will have an opportunity to continue running in college and his is very close to deciding on which college to sign with. We did not even think this was an option a year ago. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you and the impact you’ve had on our son and still having because you still support him. Thank you! You are a great coach and will always have friends in the May family! - Mike
Her positive attitude is infectious. She makes training fun(-ish :) ). The fact that she has persistently pursued, then obtained her lifelong goal of qualifying for the Olympic trials is also very inspirational as well! Clearly she knows what she is talking about...
Erica has been an amazing, upbeat, and encouraging coach! She has also been especially helpful with injury recovery and prevention! I’ve been training with her for several months decreasing my half marathon time by almost ten minutes and I look forward to running more PRs with her help this year!
Amazing coach very engaged with her clients, and very good at what she does!
One of the most talented, athletic and nicest person I’ve ever met. She lives and breathes running and anything sports related. She has lots of energy, is fun and always with a smile on her face! Erica is simply amazing. She really cares about each person she meets and definitely the best coach I EVER met! ;) Erica is the BEST!! I've worked with her for 3 years and she has helped me train smarter and improve 2-minutes in my 5K! 100% recommend her to every person on this planet!!!
Hi I'm Andrew Rocker I've only been training with Erica for a short while but already noticing the improvements in my flexibility and strength.. My Overall goal is to lose weight increase my flexibility and strength and tone my body.. I highly recommend working with Erica she will help you reach your goals..
Working with Coach Erica helped me not just improve my fitness, she also instilled confidence in me through her constant motivation and pushing me to reach my goals. At first, I wasn't sure if distance coaching would work as I don't live in her city but I quickly learned she has a structured communications and workout delivery plan that fit my needs and she worked with my schedule. I would highly recommend Coach Erica if you are looking to reach your fitness goals 💪
I’ve been training with Erica for a year now . I’ve definitely gotten great results and my run timing has definitely improved . She was able to show me how to pace and helped me focus on my speed and training plan. She always makes herself available to talk to you if you have any questions or concerns. I’ve definitely gotten stronger and leaner in body mass and I’ve learned a lot about nutrition and what to eat and what not to eat . She’s amazing !
Erica is simply incredible. I have always aspired to learn to run better and longer. initially I was apprehensive to hire her to train me, Thinking that Erica was over qualified for the level of training I desired to accomplish. I learned quickly that Erica's passion is not just running but also teaching all levels of athletes to improve their running game. Eric Inspired me to pick up my place, my form and feed my body the fuel that helps me truly perform.
My only disappointment was not working with Erica sooner! She is everything a coach needs to be and more! As a coach, myself, I understand running but I don't know everything. Hiring Erica helped me to grow as a person, athlete and an entrepreneur. The quality of training you will receive is among the best in the running world. Years of training, competing and life experiences make Erica the go-to coach. It doesn't matter if you're new to running or if you're an elite athlete EE has got you covered. When I started I was a fast runner but I wanted to become faster, more focused, more motivated, and most importantly to be held accountable. Sure, a person can self-coach but being held accountable by someone else reinforces a solid plan and ensures even greater success. I broke many PRs and successfully ran multiple sub-3:30 marathons. I'm glad I chose to be coached. Erica is both profession and a friend when you need one. There are times when we are disappointed in ourselves or our training but you can always count on Erica to be there to make sure you have the support you need to continue with your goals. From all the running training I have experienced over the years, Erica at Exclusive Endurance is the best. I can't think of a better coach. I would highly recommend her services to anyone.
