Really Proud of These Clients
Theresa, Twin Cities Marathon Finisher
“She marries her professional expertise with a true passion for helping her clients achieve their goals.”
What I like about working with Coach Kris is her holistic approach. She marries her professional expertise with a true passion for helping her clients achieve their goals. I have worked with her twice to create a training plan, each time at a very different stage in my life. Once as a new, breastfeeding mom who was getting back to running after a very difficult pregnancy. The other after I had set a marathon PR and was ready for more aggressive goals. Coach Kris recognizes that a training plan should take into consideration all the aspects of your life. She takes time to really understand not only what your goal is, but your motivation – your why – as well as all the other events going on in your life. And this level of care on consideration leads to a truly personalized approach to training.
Stephanie, First Time Marathoner
Kristen is an incredible running coach with a wealth of knowledge and experience!
She helped me run my first marathon and I am confident I would not have done as well as I did without her! She created a training plan tailored to me, my schedule, my current running ability, my injury-prevention concerns, and my goals for the marathon. Her advice on proper fueling and pacing, encouragement along the way, and seemingly endless "you're gonna be great!" enthusiasm was all key to my success and confidence. Thank you Kristen!
