Personal Coaching

There is something inside you that you know can unlock. You can run faster and feel better than ever before and reach your full potential. We'll show you how.

Reach your running potential at any age

You have big dreams and goals. Chances are you’ve followed an online training program with decent results, but you haven't been able to access what you know you can really do.

Or maybe you are a vegan runner, a plant-based runner, or just a plant curious runner and want a coach that understands you.  Someone with a proven track record of success with runners like you.

Coach Claire has helped hundreds of runners of all abilities, ages, and backgrounds discover their true potential.  As an athlete herself, she transformed from a 4:02 marathoner to a 2:58 finisher at age 42, all on a plant-based diet.

The Structure of Your Success

Nutrition is Fuel

This is not about restrictive diets, going 100% vegan, or giving up your favorite foods and drinks!

This is about making simple, incremental changes that make you feel better every day. This is about what nourishes your body and gives you the fuel to look and run your best.

Running can play a big role in losing or maintaining your weight, but the food that you eat matters far more and Coach Claire will help you navigate your unique challenges.

Mindset Matters

Your plan will focus on performance-based mental training and habit change.

Having someone to talk to in detail about what you are thinking and how it affects your performance and health is critical to doing your best.

Without a doubt, in-depth personalized coaching is the best way to put these lessons into practice and skyrocket your fitness.

Rachel// Marathon

I had Coach Claire in mind for months! Mostly due to her amazing podcast. Her blogs and recipes are a must too! Once I started working with her, running felt super enjoyable. As the training went on, I noticed the increase in speed and strength gains, as well as feeling great! No workout burnouts or overtraining. The speeds I’m at now are speeds I only dreamed of before working with her. Coach Claire cares how you feel, how your run was, what your goals are, and understands how life can get into your training schedule. She motivates me to be my best and gives exceptional feedback. Coach Claire knows the research behind the why’s us runners ask. I’m a big fan of how she brings science into the equation of running. Working with her has made me a smarter, healthier, stronger, and faster runner.

Katie//Half Marathon

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.

Colleen// Marathon

I began working with Coach Claire in preparation for my first marathon. She was encouraging when the workouts were tough, and taught me to trust the process. It was Coach Claire’s belief in me, and her positive and realistic feedback through the process, that helped me hit my goals, and the result was a BQ in my first marathon! Coach Claire clearly loves running and coaching runners of all ages and abilities. I’m eager to see where her coaching will take my running next!

Ameila// 5k

I started working with Coach Claire with the goal of a fast 5k in mind.  I finished the quarter with that and something even better.  Through the training program, I rekindled my love of running.  Working together virtually gave me the accountability I needed and the strcuture and resources I never would have found on my own.

Shane// 5k

I had the pleasure of working with Coach Claire with the goal of increasing
top end speed and producing a PB in the 5K. In 4 short months, Coach
Claire's holistic approach (mind, speed, and strength training) has made me
faster and a more well rounded runner and athlete.
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. From the 5K to the marathon; seasoned
veteran to beginner, I would highly recommend working with Coach Claire to
take your running and wellness to the next level.

Tony// Marathon

Claire is a gift. I’ve been fussing and fretting about my training for weeks now. This feels so much better and right for where I am right now!
