With Char as my coach, I have learned to balance consistency, fueling, speed, mental strength, and trusting my body. I feel like I actually call myself a runner now…I feel like i can do anything?! I’d recommend her as a coach because she’s the perfect balance of a cheerleader and encouraging me to rest when I need to while also pushing me. I would NEVER even try to run the distance or paces I have with her!

1 mile: 10:44 → 8:12 | 5K: 35:16 → 28:48 | 10K: 1:18:48 → 1:03:02 | Half marathon: 2:32:06 → 2:14:47

Before working with Char I was struggling with a consistent and sustainable schedule and had no idea what I was doing! It was apparent very early on that she was the missing piece in my training, she answered all of my questions, helped me through injury, and led me to my (still standing) 20+ minute PR in the half marathon! (2:20 > 1:59)

Char is absolutely phenomenal to work with. I ran my first marathon with her and have run 5k and half marathon PRs with her. I was honestly a little scared to take on my first full but she made the process so easy to digest and break up while boosting my confidence and personal knowledge about the sport and myself. I cannot recommend her enough if you're looking for a run coach!

I have been working with Char for a little over 14 months now. It was the best decision I could have made on my running journey! I have seen so much growth not only with my paces but also my mentality. Char has coached me through marathon training blocks and off season blues. She has pushed me to strive for goals I could not have accomplished by myself and helped me find the joy in running after periods of burnout. I am forever grateful to have found such an awesome coach!

I’ve only been working with Char for a few months, but I’ve already seen huge improvements in my training. She really emphasizes celebrating the small wins along the way to the big ones, which keeps me motivated and consistent. Char creates personalized programs based on your goals, holds you accountable, and is there every step of the way with regular check-ins and support. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their running and stay on track.

Love Char so much! She has helped me build speed, endurance and so much confidence!! I could not be where I am right now without her and look forward to the progress she continues to help me make! Would HIGHLY recommend!!

You NEED to work with Char!!! Char is genuinely leading the charge on coaching. She is sincere, so smart, and offers great insight every step of your running journey. I am so glad I chose Char as my run coach. I can tell the difference in my ability and endurance.

Char is the first run coach & trainer I've worked with one-on-one. I started off with a consultation call and she put me at ease right away. Running can be quite a competitive community but I found that Char was really focused on learning what my goals were and what I wanted to achieve. I have a pretty busy work life so the app Char uses to share training plans is so helpful. She leaves comments for me and I have the ability to report on how runs felt. I'd recommend Char for anyone training for an event or trying to achieve a specific training goal. It helps to have an accountability measure and her plans do really feel customized for YOU.

Char has been my run coach since July and it has been a game changer! The training she has provided has reignited my love for running. It is something I GET to do, not HAVE to do. I’ve also been doing her strength training plan and it has been fun to see myself progressing to heavier weights. Char is so supportive, encouraging and engaged. You can tell this is not just a job, but a passion! Her programs make it so simple for you! When I do my runs, my watch tells me what I have to do. I don’t have to worry about it. I just get to run and follow along. Her strength training plans are solid and don’t have gimicky moves. I just print it out and do it. Simple! Effective!

I’m 45, and today I ran my first organized race in years…I was 9th in my age group! I felt strong and it was so fun!

If you’re looking to see what you’re capable of and want to have fun, sign up! You have nothing to lose!

Char was pivotal in my marathon training process, and she worked with me through a serious injury. She was responsive, always adjusted my plan, and was truly invested in my running journey. If you want someone who will not only help you reach your goals but also be a constant support along the way, you should look no further. Char is your girl!

After running for most of my life (including 9 marathons) I kind of plateaued in my running and was facing a lot of mental burnout. I wasn’t getting any faster, and I felt totally disenchanted with the process. Working with Char has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself as an athlete! I was kind of intimidated by the idea of 1:1 coaching, but from our very first call she was so down-to-earth, encouraging, and analytical in her approach to training that I instantly felt we would be a great fit. In 3 months working together, I’ve become a stronger runner and started to feel like myself again. Like me, Char is trained as a scientist so we looked to the data and took a holistic approach to understanding my burnout. We have started to rebuild my training from the foundation, emphasizing strength and speed which I am LOVING!!! Finally, Char is super responsive by text and always takes my feedback into account, helps me structure training to fit my life, and gives constructive input on where I can improve my habits, and encourages me to reframe “bad” workouts as growth opportunities. It has made all the difference to have an advocate in my corner, and I’m so grateful to her for helping me level up physically and mentally. Thank you, Char!

She has very creative workouts that I’m excited for every morning! The variation in training makes me look forward to my runs and she’s super supportive / makes herself readily available for any questions you have!

Char has been the greatest investment in my health that I have ever made. Since starting with her 6 months ago, I’ve met my personal half marathon goal (beating my times from my 20s ten years prior) AND my cholesterol is now at goal, which I had been unable to do previously with diet and regular HIIT training. Her tailored workouts uploaded to the training app made challenging workouts feasible and kept me motivated through some tough life transitions. I’m so grateful!

I didn’t think it was possible for me to race without getting an upset stomach - Char’s guidance in choice of pre-run/race fuel and help trouble-shooting what gels my body does/doesn’t like has not only helped me avoid GI discomfort, but has also made my post-run and race recovery better than it’s ever been. When I ended up with a minor injury in the middle of my training block, Char also helped me structure cross-training workouts and kept me from spiraling. If you’re struggling with fueling, want to get more confident about running faster for longer, or even just need someone to help you with the mental load of training, I can’t recommend working with Char enough.

Char has been working with my as a run coach since January 2025 and it’s the best investment I’ve made in a long time!! She is so encouraging, always checking in and pushing me harder than I thought I could- it’s been amazing. I have a goal of qualifying for Boston, which requires me running 8min pace for 26.2. My marathon PR over 10 years ago was at 9min pace. When I think about how I want to get faster at 35 than when I was 21 my goal feels impossible, but with Char it feels reachable. I am so so happy she is working with me and on my team!!

Char has been an amazing run coach and I can't recommend her enough! She's really helped me to find a balanced approach to training while still making a lot of progress in just a couple of months. So grateful for her insight, strategies, and support!

I can wholeheartedly echo each of these 5-star reviews from working with Char over the last few months! From the start, she has taken the time to truly understand me as an individual athlete—my goals, strengths, and any prior setbacks—so she can tailor my training to help me become both faster and stronger. Her knowledge of running and fuel/nutrition is outstanding and I know she has absolutely made the biggest difference in my progress.
What sets her apart is not just her expertise but her genuine and unwavering support (hello, Hype Queen)Q She checks in regularly, provides insightful feedback, and genuinely cares about how my training and progress are going and is always willing to adjust where needed. Her encouragement has helped me push beyond mental barriers around running, and I’ve gained so much confidence along the way. I’ve been so excited when I casually set PRs during workouts and tell her about them during the training block — these confidence boosting movements translated to an even bigger PR in my half marathon time (on a much tougher course)! That kind of progress speaks volumes about her coaching. Char not only talks the talk but she absolutely walks the walk!
Truly, if you’re looking for a coach who is knowledgeable, tremendously supportive, and genuinely invested in your progress, Char is THAT COACH!

Char has made the biggest difference to my running. She has a science based approach to running and nutrition, which have been proven to be highly effective. She does check ins to get feedback about how training is going and provides encouragement when you really need it. So happy to have found her and can’t wait to see my running continue to improve!

Char is the absolute best coach. She is so knowledgeable, so approachable, and just overall SO amazing. It is insane the progress I’ve made with her in just a few short months, and we are only getting started! I could not recommend her more for anyone who is looking for a running coach!

I just started working with Char, and it’s been awesome! I’m a relatively new runner, and though I was making slow progress on my own, it was all guesswork. Char gives me a targeted, structured training plan each week, and every workout has a purpose and reason to exist. I look forward to all my runs, and I can’t wait to continue progressing with Char.

I am not a professional runner by any means, just a busy working Mom trying to stay consistent and healthy for my kids and my future 90 year old self. Char is the best! She is flexible, encouraging and wants her athletes to succeed. I always feel supported and like she sincerely cares about my goals.

Working with Char has been an absolute game changer for me. When I started, I was just looking for someone to help me improve my running and make better nutrition choices. What I got was so much more — a coach who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in my success.

Her running plans are smart, realistic, and tailored to my goals, but what I love most is how flexible they are when life happens. They’ve taught me that progress isn’t about perfection, it’s about consistency and celebrating the wins along the way. My mileage has increased, my pace has improved, and I’ve hit goals I never thought I could. On the nutrition side, the guidance has been practical and sustainable. I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident than ever during my runs. Beyond the numbers and workouts, Char is an incredible motivator. She meets you where you’re at, pushes you when you need it, and reminds you why you started. I truly feel supported every step of the way.

If you’re looking for a coach who will help you reach your potential while making the journey fun and empowering, I can’t recommend Char enough.

I found Char on instagram and looked her up. She is an accomplished marathoner who has perfected the training process. Many of her runners have achieved phenomenal results, so of course I had to reach out with the hopes of working with her.
She crafted a carefully curated training plan for me, while checking in periodically to ensure that I was comfortable, to ensure that the paces she set for me were achievable and she provided un-ending support.
In addition to the training plans she provided, she included hydration and carb loading tips, rest days, stretching and relaxation. These tips help the body to recover from the hard work, while getting stronger and being able to keep pushing forward.
If all of her athletes are able to follow her plans diligently, they will quite easily succeed in their running goals.
Thanks so much for all you do, Char! Five stars all the way!
