"I don’t just coach runners; I partner with my athletes to make them feel strong, resilient, and confident at every age. My approach will help you to train smarter, recover better, and run stronger than you ever thought possible."
Your running coach, Olga
 
My coaching focuses on three core pillars to ensure a lifetime of strong running
 
 
Personalized Plans
 
Created specifically for you. Your plan isn’t static; it’s a living plan based on your workout data, allowing for ongoing adjustments and communication based on real-time feedback.
 
Strength Training
 
Running alone isn’t enough to counter muscle loss. My coaching provides specific, running-focused strength programs to build a stronger, more durable body, with a focus on core, hip, and glute strength to prevent common injuries.
 
Expert Guidance and Accountability
 
I’m your partner in this journey. I provide daily feedback and encouragement, answering your questions often within minutes. This is a key differentiator from generic, templated apps.
 
WHY CHOOSE ME
Experience meets empathy
 
I Understand Your Journey Firsthand
 
I know firsthand the challenges of starting a running journey and have successfully navigated everything from setting my first goal to get a BQ (qualifying for the Boston marathon) and running all 6 major marathons. My personal experience allows me to create a plan that is both effective and empathetic.
My Focus is on Longevity
 
My experience in marathons, triathlons, and even stair-climbing has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to train hard without getting injured. I focus on building a strong, consistent athlete, not just a fast one.
Proven Results For over 12 years
 
I’ve used my expertise and my RRCA coaching certification to help a diverse range of runners achieve their goals. I’m ready to help you reach yours, whether it’s running your first 5K or finishing a full marathon.
 
Let’s work together to create a plan that will not only help you run faster but will also transform your relationship with the sport.
