The Recipe for Success: Athlete Stories

  • "Since working with Courtney, I have PR'd in both the 5k and marathon, which demonstrates her ability to effectively coach at any distance. The PRs are great, but the motivation, experience, and coaching Courtney provides is what I value most."

    — Kelly Stravers

  • "I debated getting a coach since I am not an "elite" runner, but she has become an invaluable part of my well-being. Regardless of experience level, I recommend getting a coach, and if you can, get Courtney!"

    — Charlie Anderstrom

  • "Working with Courtney not only healed my relationship with running but also brought back the joy of the sport. I always thought more was better, but through Courtney’s coaching I learned the importance of intentional running. I went from a 9:30 pace to 7:40 pace in less than 4 months. Courtney has helped me reach what I thought was impossible! I can’t wait to continue to grow and learn from her!"

    — Audrey Vick

  • “Courtney listens, and tailors a program based on where you are at. She makes you feel good about yourself and is always constructive. Courtney will make sure you stick to your rest days, paces and workouts. She is there for you and you will improve and benefit from her experience."

    — David Speiser

  • "Coach Courtney knows how to take a goal, and turn it into becoming a reality. When I first started my running journey, a Boston qualifying time was something | only imagined, let alone being able to actually run it at my first marathon and finish strong! Coach Courtney is truly an amazing coach and someone who I know can lead me to making much more of my running dreams come true and I cannot wait to see what else I can do. "

    — Brooke McGowan

  • "In the ~6 months that we've worked together, not only has she helped me progress incredibly far in terms of my running fitness, but she's helped me practice listening to my body, running for fun, and learning to enjoy the process!"

    — Erin Harten

  • "From January to October I hit big PRs in the 5k, half, and marathon. It’s easy to want to go all out in training when you have big goals but Courtney’s level-headed approach had me hitting my highest mileage ever and quality workouts in a smart way that allowed me to recover well. I highly recommend Courtney as your run coach!"
