Melissa B.

I have been running for 20+ years, completed one ultra (100k), 20 full marathons (2 time Boston finisher), as well as many half marathons, 10k's, and 5k's. I have a Bachelors degree in Recreation Management, I am RRCA certified for 2 years, CPR/first aid certified, and am certified in Teaching Yoga to Athletes. I am an assistant high school cross country and track coach in Sacramento and teach one Piyo (yoga/pilates) class a week at a yoga studio. I have coached many online athletes as well as my kids (ages 13, 15, 17). I love running and yoga! Contact me to help reach your goals whether it be running or yoga, I can help!

I mostly do online plans for running with a specific race goal in mind, but for one on one sessions for running it would be typically a warm-up, a speedworkout and a cool-down. Depending on pace goals I would either bike or run alongside the athlete. For a yoga session an athlete can expect about 45 minutes to an hour of recovery yoga or a more active yoga, depending on the specific needs that day.
