I met Coach Michelle in 2017, and let me tell you, I feel like I struck gold. I found at least five highly recommended coaches that all seemed amazing, but Michelle stood apart from the pack when I “interviewed” her. I sent her an email letting her know that in 3 months, I needed to shave 50 minutes from my marathon time so I could quality for Boston. Most of the coaches I emailed said, how about you try for a different goal because that’s just crazy. Michelle is honest, ambitious, and so inspiring. She responded to my email right away, asked more about my background, my goals, etc. And ultimately, she said it’s a tall order, would require a lot of work, but that it is POSSIBLE. That was exactly what I needed to hear - I needed a coach to believe in me, and more importantly, someone who knew how to get me there.
Michelle programmed a custom training plan just for me. Creative, butt-kicking workouts that I never would have thought of without her! She had sound rationale behind everything she recommended, and guess what, she made me better. I started getting faster, and in my second marathon, I was able to qualify for Boston, cutting exactly 50 minutes from my previous marathon! That would not have been possible without her.
She’s now coached me through three different races, and I can’t wait to keep working with her as I pursue a sub-3 marathon. If you want someone who’s passionate, kind, super fun, hilarious, smart, and confident - Michelle’s your girl!!

Coach Michelle is enthusiastic, energetic, inspiring, and works with you in order to achieve your individual goals. I have worked with her through several races… and my last 2 were my fastest! I set a PR for my half marathon and a PR and BQ for my marathon. Michelle seems to know intuitively when you need a push, versus encouragement and a pep talk. She has sound reasons for her workouts. But we all know that coaching isn’t just about writing training plans. It’s about getting the best out of an athlete in every way. If you want a coach that brings out your best, then don’t hesitate to contact Michelle. You’ll be glad you did!

Coach Michelle is the best! I met Coach Michelle in the summer of 2020 and my running has improved ever since. Her bubbly, humorous, and down-to-earth personality is so relatable and easy to connect with, which has made training with her such a fun and rewarding experience. Every time I have talked to Michelle or watched one of her videos on Instagram or youtube, she is always so encouraging and real which makes me want to push myself to be my best. This has made me accomplish goals I didn't even know were possible. Michelle's 4 Week Reset helped me realize this even more and not just with running but with everyday life. After her 4 Week Reset (especially in weeks 3 and 4) I had formed new habits to improve my life and started to see the benefits of combining strength training and running. Now I am excited to have Michelle and her expertise help me with a plan to PR for my next 5k race! Michelle always helps lead me to my greatest potential even before I see it myself.
So if you want a coach that is fun, upbeat, relatable, encouraging, and knowledgeable, Michelle is the one!
