frequently asked questions
I’m not a “serious” runner. Do I have to have run races before to work with you?
No! I work with athletes of all levels, and I especially love working with beginners as you start to develop your love of running.
What if I don’t have a goal race in mind?
No problem! We can work on increasing endurance, racing a self-run time trial, building a balanced strength and running schedule, and more. There’s a benefit to working with a coach in all seasons, even if you are not registered for any races at the moment.
What certifications do you have?
I am a VDOT Certified Running Coach, a NASM Personal Trainer, and a 200HR Yoga Certified Teacher. I’ve sought out these extra certifications on purpose: I believe the mix of running, strength, and yoga is great for us as athletes.
Do I need a running watch?
Not required, but I am a bit of a data nerd and love to see your workouts synced to our training app. Having the watch gives me a better look at how your training is really going and can help me tweak and refine your training to be even more targeted.
Do you offer freelance work for agencies?
Yes, I currently help with content for a few clients of an agency. You can use my contact form to request more information about how I work with agencies.
Where do you work from?
I’m based in Sydney, Australia, which is 17 hours ahead of Chicago most of the year. Typically, the most convenient times for my States-based clients is between 4 pm and 6 pm Central for a conference call or meeting (that’s between 9 am and 11 am in Sydney). I have clients in the United States and Australia, and I plan to travel back to the States occasionally.
Do you offer in-person content days?
Yes, depending on where the client is located. This may be an extra charge based on your current service package. Click here to contact me and share specific details.
