COACH BIOS

I started running in 2004 to get into better shape and to get outside while doing it.  My first Rogue experience was as a beginning triathlete in the Iron Chicks training program.  I was so positively affected by the experience as an athlete, I knew I wanted to be a part of that type of motivation and education on a leadership level.  As an athlete, I’ve run it all, from 5Ks to marathon, to triathlon, to ultra trail running, to running through three pregnancies.  Over the last decade, I’ve coached countless Rogue runners of all levels.  They give me such a gift when they tell me and I see that their lives are changed for the better through the sport of running.  I consider it an honor and privilege to be a Rogue coach and treat it as such. 

COACH PHILOSOPHY

I want you to do, feel, and achieve your best, whatever that means to you on an individual level.  I provide a supportive, positive, fun group dynamic and Rogue provides the world class training.  My primary ask is for you to be consistent, do the work, and the results will roll in.  I work hard to personalize your experience and want you to enjoy all aspects of your training. 

GROUP DYNAMIC

It’s always warm and sunny at Rogue Downtown with the Sunshine Squad!  Whether it’s chasing a personal record, completing a first-time race, or training to train, we work hard and laugh a lot along the way.  Our runners in this unique daytime time slot come from all walks of life with varying goals and experience.  Everyone is welcome as we escape “real life” for a while and change our lives a little bit more for the better every time we meet.

ORIGIN STORY

This group was created as a result of an open window in Rogue’s training schedule for folks with flexible schedules, to come in the mid-morning time slot.  What resulted is an eclectic group of individuals that really dedicate themselves to our sunny brand of training and community.
