"Training was great - a good balance of hard effort with recovery, while also pushing my limits but still maintaining confidence... hitting paces I never thought possible. Coach Becky was able to incorporate all my races into my training plan, and still keep me on track for my goal race. She also made the training plan very manageable with my crazy life -working full time at a hospital and having two busy teenagers. Although my health issues held me back from meeting my paces, I still accomplished my goal from 5 years ago to place overall in a race that meant so much to me personally."

"I am a true believer in running plans now! I have very loosely followed plans I found on the internet for prior races, but I had always been a consistent one-speed runner... Having the plan set out days for easy miles and days for speed work, along with the specific paces I should be hitting, was so crucial. I didn't realize how much it
"I am a true believer in running plans now! I have very loosely followed plans I found on the internet for prior races, but I had always been a consistent one-speed runner... Having the plan set out days for easy miles and days for speed work, along with the specific paces I should be hitting, was so crucial. I didn't realize how much it was helping during the actual training, but on race day... I FELT AMAZING! I truly shocked myself when I still felt good at mile 9-10 when I normally fizzle out. My goal was to run faster than a 2:07:51 and I ran Cap City in 2:04:17!!"
Whitnie from Columbus, OH
"I really wanted to take the guesswork out of training and still feel like I was making great progress toward my goals. Having you work with me to share that mental load was really crucial to my success! Having a coach that helped me focus on my mental health goals as well as my physical health is invaluable.

"I really wanted to take the guesswork out of training and still feel like I was making great progress toward my goals. Having you work with me to share that mental load was really crucial to my success! Having a coach that helped me focus on my mental health goals as well as my physical health is invaluable. I always thought that I wasn't fast or fit enough for a coach, but in no instance during my cycle was I reminded I felt that way. Thank you for your understanding and guidance as I navigate running post-baby and for being a great friend along the way. I had a lot of moments from early training that I totally crushed workouts and felt great about it … the biggest, most favorite running moment ever - finishing my marathon with [my daughter] by my side. That is a story I will cherish and tell for the rest of my life!"
Emily W. from Dublin, OH
"Becky was great at adjusting the plan on the fly based on how training was going and when life got in the way. She worked closely with me to customize my plan knowing what I was capable of and helped me achieve my goals for multiple races.

"Becky was great at adjusting the plan on the fly based on how training was going and when life got in the way. She worked closely with me to customize my plan knowing what I was capable of and helped me achieve my goals for multiple races.
Having someone who can work directly with you who understands exactly what you want and knows how to help you get you there is invaluable. Just following a static training plan isn't the same as having that human component of a coach that can learn and adjust as things go."
Zach H. from Columbus, OH
"[Becky had] the knowledge and expertise to plan my training and be there to answer any questions I might have, help adjust my workouts if I missed a training run...
[My biggest accomplishment was] getting those hill workouts in!
I loved when we could do training runs together! It was so fun to get to run with you as my coach!"
- Stephanie T.
"I love how Becky worked with my style and came up with ways for me to keep a part of me (my running streak) also while keeping me safe."
- Heather H.
"You are awesome, really! Keep doing what you are doing because you are a great coach!
[What I found most valuable was] your knowledge and expertise of a training plan while also making sure to be realistic and make the plan work for my life and also my interests." - Allie B.
What I liked most about Becky's coaching:
"The weekly emails and explanation of the hard workouts; adjusting plans as needed; motivation and encouragement" - Runner from OH
"Becky offers the best balance of a support system, cheerleader and human pace calculator. She believed in me more than I did, and was accurate in predicting my race. I felt well prepared for my race and trusted her 100% with my training. She will be there to answer any questions and make sure you are confident and ready - physically, mentally and emotionally." - Sandy V.
"Make the jump! It takes the stress out of planning runs and workouts. A coach will work personally with you to create the best plan for your mind and body. They have the knowledge to individualize mileage and pace, to maximize your potential, without injury or burnout. A coach is able to capitalize your strengths and work with your opportunities. It keeps running fun, but productive!"
"Accountability and knowing what to do"
"A specific plan of workouts and mileage to follow"
"Having structure for weekly workouts; having the speeds and distances/time intervals laid out for me"
"Encouragement and positivity as I was going way outside my comfort zone"
