Coaching by Trisha
There are Many coaches to choose from. What sets Trisha apart?
Trisha originally forayed into coaching because of a deep desire to help people achieve their goals. She truly wants to see people learn about themselves and grow both as athletes and as people. There’s no better feeling than seeing someone work hard, grow to better understand themselves and their sport, and achieve or even surpass their goals.
Many coaches design training plans based on their own athletic experience rather than a formal education or long-term coaching experience. Trisha doesn’t coach based on what works for her. Her coaching is based on a combination of scientific principles and an education one cannot get other than through time and experience, which is learning how hundreds of individual athletes respond and adapt - both physically and mentally - to training. She has had the opportunity to meet and talk with many of the world’s top coaches and has coached athletes at a variety of ability levels as well as different personal motivations over the past 17+ years.
Trisha coaches all distances and surfaces. She has a detailed understanding of the science of running and is knowledgeable across all of the technical aspects of training, as well as complementary fields such as nutrition, injury prevention, and the psychology of training and racing. She will work with you to design, adapt, and execute a unique-to-you training and racing plan that takes into account your strengths, needs, and challenges.
Coaching is provided online via a Google document which includes multiple tabs of information, including a personalized training log. Honest, consistent, and thorough communication is essential and is an integral part of a successful coaching process, which is why Trisha offers multiple opportunities for frequent contact.

“I have worked with Trisha for less than a year but under her expert and thoughtful guidance I have already had exciting results and thoroughly recommend her as a coach to both new and experienced runners. Plus, she's an inspiring coach who races herself, has a great sense of humor, and is well-connected across the running community. Working with her has been the best thing I have ever done! ”
