Julia K.

I am a certified Pose Method Technique Specialist and RRCA running coach. I believe exercise is a true source of happiness and is the best means to improve our lives, the community we live in, and everyone we touch. Whether it's helping you transition to a more natural running, injury free style or helping you train for your next event - I'm committed to empowering a happier and healthier you. Every athlete gets the same personalized coaching regardless of how fast or how far he or she can run.

Too many marathons and half marathons to count: Marine Core Marathon, Boston Marathon, National Marathon, Athens Marathon and many others. 1st place AG finish at the Delaware Running Festival - 2015. First place female in the Potomac River Run Marathon - 2006, 3rd place female in Navy 5 Miler - 2007, 1st place AG finish in the Sundance Racing Festival 5K - 2015

Whether you are competitive, you want to get in shape, or running is just a part of your exercise routine, your run needs to be fun. Running should also have a training purpose that clearly and effectively links to your goals. When you work with me, you'll experience coaching support when and where you need it. You will have full access to your me via text, email, or phone and receive most responses within hours - no limits, no hidden fees.

When you are running well and you are "in the groove," there is no stopping you. That is when the personal attention helps you reach the next level. But, when you are in a rut, you also need that personal attention to get out of it and continue on your path to success. Everyone needs a coach who understands his or her unique goals and motivation.

Too often, one-size-fits-all programs and training apps do not adjust for real life circumstances - working late, last-minute travel, kids' activities or family obligations. Real life also involves the emotional component of training, such as having an "off" day or waning motivation.

I map out each workout around your schedule to help you build endurance, strength, and power so that you can increase your speed. You focus on the running while I worry about the details!
