Testimonials

"At 42 years old, after having children and dealing with arthritis in my hips from years of competing horses professionally, I honestly wasn’t sure if running was still in my future. I’m so grateful for Shannon’s training plan. Not only am I now training for a half marathon, but her plan has been so approachable that it feels like my body has been “tricked” into getting in shape—without the usual aches or injuries. Even better, my arthritic areas are feeling stronger and less painful. I’m beyond thankful for Shannon’s expertise, empathy, and supportive coaching style."

-Megan

"As an Army officer with multiple back injuries, I was concerned about safely returning, to running. Shannon created a thoughtful, well-rounded plan with plenty of variety. She made the process enjoyable and helped me stay consistent without risking re-injury or burning out. Thanks to her guidance, I've been able to run again with confidence."

-Mike Chastain, MAJ, US Army

"Shannon has taken my training to a whole new level. She has been instrumental in helping me achieve personal bests from the marathon to the 5k. Her compassionate, confident, and straightforward approach to load management and goal setting consistently puts me in the best position to perform on race day. More importantly she helps me stay connected to the joy of running, even during challenging training sessions. I know I can trust Shannon with any running goal I want to pursue."

-Andrew

"I know Shannon works as a runner/trainer for younger people, but even though I am a senior citizen, she kindly said she would love to help me keep moving during my chemo treatments. I am very grateful! She gives me a biweekly doable walking plan. It includes days for core strengthening, balance activities, and upper/lower body exercises. I am motivated with this effective plan to keep moving. She gets my five star review!"
