Strength Training for Runners

Run Strong.
Stay Running.

Strength is the part of training most runners skip. As a USATF certified coach and CFSC-certified strength coach, I build runner-specific strength into your week, so you can handle more miles, run with better form, and keep showing up.

In person, 1:1 strength coaching in NYC. On its own or paired with run coaching.
