Shane

The time I worked with Coach Claire was hugely impactful, informative and transformative. Coach Claire is a wealth of knowledge and an accomplished runner herself.  I would highly recommend working with Coach Claire to take your running and wellness to the next level.

Claire is wonderful to partner with if you are looking to push forward in your running journey. She listens to you and ensures the plan works with your goals and your daily life.

Kiarri

I really wanted to keep getting faster in my forties, but didn’t know how. I reached out to Coach Claire after hearing her talk about her success racing faster as a masters athlete. She was really encouraging and identified some areas where I could improve right away. She got me into a regular strength training routine that was easy to integrate into my busy schedule, and she helped me get better at hydrating and eating during long runs. Coach Claire also introduced workouts that gave me the strength and confidence to run hard when the race gets tough. I am proud to say that I not only shaved nearly 6 minutes off my PB, but I also got a negative split for the first time ever! I really enjoyed her positive energy and thoughtful encouragement, and I can’t wait to see where her coaching takes me next. 

Melissa

I toed the line to my most recent marathon feeling excited, confident, and very prepared to run my best race ever. The training plan Coach Claire provided included not only pace specific workouts but strength training, mobility, nutrition tips, mental challenges and more!

Kim

I've been a runner for many years but haven't had a coach since high school. After realizing at age 42 that I had still had many years of running ahead of me with the proper training, I decided to invest in a coach to help me. Coach Claire was a tremendous support as I spent many months base building and ultimately training for my 7th marathon. In addition to taking out the stress of making my own training plans, I appreciated having someone with whom I could debrief about my workouts and ask questions. As someone who is very knowledgeable about running (I even coach runners myself!), I wasn't initially convinced of the value for me, but I quickly realized what I had been missing out on trying to coach myself. Coach Claire enhanced my experience and has helped me build a foundation to keep running for years to come!
