I’ve been running for a long time, but honestly, running didn’t really become my thing until 2019.

That was the year my husband and I adopted our dog, Spaten. What started as taking him out for walks and little runs eventually turned into something I really needed.

Running gave me somewhere to put my energy. It gave me time to clear my head, get outside, and step away from drinking and some of the choices I knew weren’t helping me.

I started to realize that running wasn’t just changing my fitness. It was changing how I showed up in my life.

I learned that you don’t have to be perfect to be consistent. That some runs are going to feel amazing and some are going to feel like garbage. That progress takes time. And that sometimes, simply getting out the door is the win.

The more I ran, the more I wanted to learn - about training, strength, pacing, recovery, and what actually helps people become better runners without making running their entire life.

And eventually, that became Sunfade Running.

I created Sunfade Running because I wanted to make coaching feel approachable, realistic, and personal. Something for people who have busy lives, big goals, and a million things going on outside of their workouts.

I don’t think you need to have your whole life perfectly together to become a better runner. You don’t need to train 7 days a week. You don’t need to nail every workout. And you definitely don’t need to feel guilty when life gets in the way.

I want Sunfade Running to help you build a stronger relationship with running - one that gives you confidence, challenges you, and still leaves room for the rest of your life.

Because running has given me a lot more than faster race times. I want to help you find some of that for yourself, too.

If you’re looking for a training plan that actually fits your life, I’d love to work with you.

Whether you’re training for your first race, chasing a new PR, or just want some structure and accountability with your running, let’s build a plan that works for you.

Ready to get started? Let’s run.
