A note from Coach:

17 years after catching the 'running bug', as a competitive runner and triathlete I am now able to comfortably admit that I am addicted to running.  Not in the creepy, "I have to run or else" kind of way, but in a way that I know something is missing if I'm on a hiatus.

17 years is a long time to be in a relationship with running.  We've had our ups and downs, and I've even broken up with it a few times, swearing that I was "done! and would never again lace up my spikes", but... I always came back, knowing that I am a better person as a runner than not.  It fuels who I am at the very core, and it challenges me to dig deep within myself even when I don't want to, or think that there's nothing left, only to find that I'm always stronger than I think I am, and capable of more than I ever thought.

As a high school Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track coach for the last eight years I have had the very fortunate opportunity to witness the 'bug' take hold of hundreds of athletes.  It's a wonderful process to watch unfold as cautious, intimidated and undeveloped young buds start to find their strength, confidence and spirit.  It's an honor, in my opinion, to be a linking part of this new love of sport, which is why I also began private coaching.  It allows me the opportunity to find runners all across the running spectrum (newbie or novice, six years old or 60) and spark, or even re-ignite the flame that burns within them.

At IRunTons we believe that everyone has an inner "Badass"; an athlete who, as Webster says, is "distinctively tough and powerful; so exceptional as to be intimidating".  For some people it may be buried deep beneath piles of laundry, work reports, children's science fair projects or low self-esteem, but it's in there, and we strive to help you find it through your training.
