Testimonals:

I've had the privilege of working with Natalie for the past 3 1/2 years, and during that time, she has been instrumental in helping me achieve some of my fastest times to date. With her coaching, I’ve completed four Boston Marathons and seven World Marathon Majors. Additionally, she coached me to a personal best in the Half Marathon (after nine years)! Natalie's holistic approach to training has not only made me stronger and faster, but also more mentally resilient. She is deeply dedicated to her athletes, offering a personalized and tailored approach to each individual's needs. I give Natalie my highest recommendation!

“I sought out Natalie as a running coach when I set the ambitious goal to complete my first marathon. After following her for some time on-line, I thought we’d be a great fit, and I was right! While Natalie is a world class runner with huge wins, she is also a great coach, able to meet any runner where they are. She helped me go from a new-ish runner, wanting to drop baby weight, to a lover of the long distance run! 

I’ve been able to meet with Natalie when local, but we did most of our training virtually. She makes sure to do regular check-ins and tailor the initial plan by evaluating how its going. I have felt confident in her methods and as a result, I am now a two-time marathoner, looking forward to my third, next year!”

"Natalie was a huge reason why I was prepared for and crossed the finish line on race day. She trained me in the months leading up to my first marathon and was readily available every day, states away. She researched my course, provided me with a weekly training game plan and educated me on proper nutrition. You can feel her love for running and her passion for coaching in every supportive phone call and email. I'd encourage any runner or future runner to connect with Natalie to help you in achieving your goals. Thank you Natalie!"

"I had been following Natalie's inspirational Instagram page for over 2 years before I learned that she was a running coach. I was getting back to running after a hiatus and was setting some big goals, like a Fall 2020 half marathon PR and a possible Spring 2021 marathon. We started working together probably just a few weeks before the start of the first major "stay at home order" in NY in early 2020. Stuck at home, running was the only respite and I was desperate for some normalcy. Natalie was wonderful. She sent me my plans every Sunday and we shared a Google docs which was updated weekly. In addition, we had a weekly or biweekly phone call to catch up and make sure we were on the same page. Natalie is not just a great coach but an amazing runner, mom and overall lovely human to know and work with. She tailored my plan to where my fitness was at the time and gave me some great cross training exercises to help my running. She is empathetic and is great at making running work around a busy lifestyle. She also listens and will tweak your plan to work around injuries or just life. She is an accomplished runner herself who has put in the work and she has the ability to put herself in your shoes and that's just one of the things that makes her a great coach."
