This was my first time with a running coach after using generalized running plans. Wow, did it make a difference!
First, the personalized training nature of working with Olivia was fantastic. The workouts were tailored to my schedule and pushed me just beyond what I thought I could do. They were also varied and adapted when I was feeling too worn out from travel or life. And Olivia was always available to respond and suggest changes or give me tips.
Second, I really liked having a strength plan to accompany my running and having a schedule that balanced both. It made me feel much stronger and well rounded as a runner. I'd highly recommend doing that for all runners.
And lastly, knowing that Olivia believed I could do the workouts and the race (even when they were tough) made a huge difference. I knew she wouldn't suggest something she didn't think I could do. Having her confidence helped me believe in myself.
Olivia was my first ever run coach and it's been SO worthwhile! She's a pleasure to work with. She tailored a training plan to my needs, checking in often.
I'm a techie and had an AI run plan, but I felt Olivia lifted a weight off my shoulders since I could just trust her and not sweat the details of my training plan. Highly recommend!
Working with Olivia was awesome. She helped me train for and finish my first half marathon. I couldn't have done it without her coaching.
Olivia created a marathon pacing sheet for me that I still use every single time I'm preparing for a race. It's become my go-to resource.
