ENDURANCE COACHING

My Mission

To improve access to high-quality coaching in the trail running, triathlon, ultra-endurance, and rowing worlds.

To work in partnership with athletes to help them get what they want to out of the sport, whether that is enjoyment, camaraderie, competition, health, or something else.

To pursue excellence as a coach, athlete, and member of society myself.

I began my marathon journey in January and feel so lucky to be working with Serena! Bi-weekly conversations with her have been really helpful in developing my technique, strength, and resistance to injury. Each week, she sends me a detailed plan for my runs or run-adjacent workouts, with pre- and post-run exercises to help activate the muscles I should be engaging. And she has kept me inspired to keep pursuing my marathon goal, even through weeks where I lacked the motivation on my own. Thank you, Serena!!!!

I’d always been a super casual runner, so I had no idea what it’d be like to seriously train for a race and work with a coach. Serena totally exceeded my expectations — she helped me understand the “why” behind different workouts and was super responsive to adapting the schedule when needed. I was afraid that taking running more seriously would take the fun out of it, but if anything, working with Serena just gave me a greater appreciation for the sport and all the time I spend doing it.

My experience with multiple types of endurance sports lets me learn about and apply training techniques across disciplines. I’ve coached athletes from 2k rowing races through ultra-endurance races and have personally competed in all three sports (feel free to browse my race blog)! Coaching support is personalized based on your everyday stressors, training age, physiological profile, biomechanics, time, and equipment accessibility, among other things.
