More About Coach Erica

I've coached for 11 years, starting in 2013 as a High School Assistant Track Coach and advancing to Head Cross Country and Track and Field Coach. I've been instrumental in developing Track and Cross Country programs, guiding athletes from beginners to State-caliber competitors, with some moving on to NCAA Division I and II levels.

Certified by USATF, RRCA, and REVO2LUTION RUNNING as a Running Coach, and NASM as a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), I train clients of all levels, from individuals to large groups. I specialize in customized strength plans and have led bootcamp and HIIT classes. I'm passionate about helping others achieve their goals and currently coach athletes in distances ranging from 5K to ultra marathons, including triathlons and specialized military and K9 officer training. Many of my athletes have achieved Boston Qualifying times and Personal Records with my guidance.

I competed in NCAA Division I Cross Country, Indoor, and Outdoor Track at the University of Central Florida for 4 years, contributing to UCF's first Conference USA Championship-winning team. My events included the 5K and 3,000-meter steeplechase. After college, I shifted to road racing and completed 12 marathons. In 2017, I won the RRCA Western Regional Championship and the Napa Valley Marathon. I qualified for the USA Olympic Trials Marathon in 2019 with a time of 2:41:54 (6:10/mile), competing in February 2020. I've also been the Orlando Track Shack Series Female Champion four times: 2014-15, 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23. Currently, I train for distances ranging from the 5K to the marathon while coaching athletes.

I like to start with a consultation, either in person or via FaceTime/Zoom, to understand each client's goals and how we can achieve them together while staying healthy. I consider all aspects of their history, including past injuries, experience, schedule, and training. Whether it's in-person, online training, or both, we'll work together. Training plans are uploaded weekly or bi-weekly on FinalSurge, where I track progress through smartwatches, FinalSurge, and Strava, and adjust as needed.

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.

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.
