"Having been runners our entire lives and having done a handful of half marathons, my sister and I always dreamt of running a full marathon. But we didn't know where to begin. We were so intimidated and it seemed impossible. Julie prepared a running schedule and workouts. She was always available for questions and provided all the motivation we needed to cross the finish line. She is one of the most encouraging coaches and truly cared about our goals!"
"Working with Julie has improved my confidence going into races by helping me perform to the best of my abilities. It's so helpful to have her coaching to tackle all the obstacles presented as a female athlete in this sport." - Calysta
"Julie's mental performance training has allowed me to feel prepared and confident in racing and training. She offers advice on race day preparation, injury-prevention, and other beneficial strategies." - Jazz
"I've always considered myself a capable runner and triathlete. Unfortunately, through the years I've had a cycle of injuries which lead to long periods of time off and inconsistent training. From the start, I knew Julie was going to be a great coach for me. Within 6 months I ran a half marathon PR of over 5 minutes! I am now running injury-free and setting new PR's at every distance! Julie's approach to training is tailored to fit around my life, my goals and my personal running strengths and opportunities. Her enthusiasm and encouragement are great motivators while her personal attention and training expertise produces great results!"
