TRAINING THAT WORKS WITH YOUR LIFE
If you want someone to help guide your training, offer encouragement and believe in your goals – I could be the right fit.
Your goals are my goals. I have been coaching 1:1 athletes since 2019 working on returns to running after a break, training to run their fastest 5Ks, wanting to run their first marathon feeling strong, and everything in-between.
My biggest priority is to make running fun for you again. I want you to remember why you love to run in the first place. We’ll work to get faster and stronger in the process.
3:56 MARATHON PR + MAJOR PRS IN THE MILE, 5K, 10K, AND HALF MARATHON
PR'D THE MARATHON BY OVER AN HOUR & HAD A BLAST ON RACE DAY
Working with Dale is by far the best decision I’ve ever made. I trained with her for my first ever half marathon and it felt so easy. Yes, long runs are always tough especially since it was my first time, but Dale made the schedule so effortless and I felt so well prepared for my race. I can’t wait to work with her for my first full marathon this year! I would recommend Dale to EVERYONE running a race.
Dale made the schedule so effortless and I felt so well prepared for my race.
Life is too short to stress about running and fitness. I’m so glad to have Dale to help guide me on my fitness journey. She is a never-ending source of positivity and has helped me achieve my goals while always maintaining focus on sustainability and longevity. I never thought I would run marathons, let alone ultramarathons, but here we are. Thanks, Dale!
I’m so glad to have Dale to help guide me on my fitness journey.
I just had a baby four months before reaching out with a goal of running my first marathon ever 14 weeks later. She met me exactly where I was physically and created the most intentional and smart plan for me to accomplish my goal. Zero chance I would have been able to do it without her guidance and support!
Working with Dale brought me a whole new level of confidence.
Her coaching enabled me to complete two marathons only 7 weeks apart and to stay healthy and positive throughout the process.
Dale helped me turn a huge racing disappointment into an opportunity to demonstrate resilience and determination by toeing a second marathon start line this fall.
Dale takes time to personalize every aspect of your training plan. As a coach, Dale really pays attention to your life and how running fits in. This approach ensures that no matter how lofty, your goals always feel attainable. when life gets crazy Dale helps you build and train through it.
Dale is an incredible coach.

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.
Working with Dale was fun and flexible.
I got to balance my work, social, and travel life with running and it was always fun to talk to Dale about how running was going and have her be my cheerleader.
Dale has been by my side through a lot of ups and downs with running and life in general.
Her knowledge and compassion are my favorite things about her. I am getting stronger and faster because of her (and putting in the work!). I cannot wait to see what 2024 looks like while working with her!
I am so grateful for Dale’s coaching and guidance.
Not only did she take the guesswork out of training and provide much needed structure to my running, but she gave me the confidence and encouragement to run a marathon PB. Most importantly, I had fun, stayed healthy, and enjoyed the process thanks to Dale’s programming.
Dale is the best coach because she challenges me while reminding me that running is supposed to be fun.
Her mantras have helped me through many races and she helps me see I am capable of more than I think I am.
Dale is an amazing running coach and has taught me so much as a new runner.
She listens to my needs, pushes me when she knows I can do it, and believes in me. I am beyond thankful to have Dale as my running coach and you would be too!
In addition to running a 3:56 for a marathon PR, Erin also nailed major PRs in the mile, 5K, 10K, and half marathon – even without a “traditional” race. “Prior to working with her, I was running the same paces and seeing the same race outcomes almost to the millisecond, for over 18 months. Dale's approach to running is helping me to gain confidence and speed while running, and I know I couldn't have done it without her on my team.”
I planned a season around short-term goals and time trials, so Erin could see her progress and continue to gain confidence and speed as we laddered up to her major marathon goal.
Erin craved structured running when her races were canceled in spring 2020, and she also wanted to break 4:15 in the marathon.
Abi wanted a marathon PR, but she also wanted to have fun with her training and enter race day already feeling like a winner.
I created a training plan for Abi that focused on hard days hard and easy days easy, so she could avoid burnout and feel refreshed every time she walked into a tough training day.
Abi dropped nearly an hour and 20 minutes off of her previous marathon time to run a 4:33 at the Stockholm Marathon. And just as importantly, she had a blast on race day.
