Find your inner strength on every run

“I started working with Sam a couple of months postpartum after my 3rd child to help me prepare for the Broad Street run safely and without injury. Not only did she help me succeed but I never thought that I would also gain a true cheerleader in the process! I’ve worked with run coaches in the past but what sets Sam apart from the rest is that she truly cares for her athletes. She checked in on me multiple times leading up to the race and was the first to congratulate me afterwards. Ive never experienced that with a run coach before and she makes me feel like I am her only athlete! I am so excited to work with her to prepare for my first marathon in November.”

I can not say enough good things about Sam! She is an amazing coach, she’s so knowledgeable about everything from how to pick the right shoes to how to adjust a workout when something doesn’t feel right. I have been working with Sam for 12 weeks and I was 1 year postpartum when we started. In that time I have become more consistent, stronger runner and more confident. She helped me work through all the physical struggles that arose for me after having my daughter and I came out a better runner than before I was pregnant. In addition to helping me physically and mentally train, she’s also always there as a friend to cheer me on to say “good luck!” and “I’m proud of you” and hearing that means so much. I can not wait to continue working with Sam. She is my biggest support and fan when it comes to my running career

I’ve been running since middle school as a competitive sprinter. After college, I started running distance and in 2018 did my first half marathon. I also coach high school cross country. I say all this to show no matter how experienced of a runner you are, you can benefit from working with Sam. I started in February with a goal to break 1:50 in the half marathon. I loved the ease of looking at my plan and doing the scheduled runs without having to think or plan. The runs were tailored specifically to me and adjusted as I need them to feel my best and allow my body time to recover as I have a diagnosed autoimmune disorder. With Sam's support and coaching, I beat my best half marathon time by 10 minutes! A month later, I ran Broad Street and PR’d by 4 minutes! Sam not only built my physical abilities but my confidence to run faster and stronger. I would highly recommend working with Sam for any race you have coming up!

When I decided to pursue a very lofty run goal after years off, I knew that I wanted to have a run coach by my side. Sam was exactly what I needed and far exceeded my expectations. She crafted a plan personal to me, my goal and my level. We had constant contact through messaging each week regarding particular runs and live check-ins at milestone marks through the training. I never felt like I was left to figure any of it out on my own. Her care and compassion for her athletes shows in all her communications and her willingness to understand any issues. I absolutely loved my training experience with Sam and highly recommend!
