Meet Our Athletes:
New Runners
Danielle coaches athletes of all abilities. Whether you’re training for your first 5K or to qualify for Boston, she has a comprehensive training plan for you. Beginner athletes can expect foundational skill work, strength training, and building a solid running foundation.
Coach D strives to bring the joy of running to each athlete - regardless of finishing time and running pace.
Kedisha reached out to Coach D with the goal of running a 5K. She was walking regularly and doing at home strength training workouts, but running always held her back. She was able to get to running 1.5-2 miles on her own but needed more guidance to reach her goal! Coach D put together a custom training plan to help her with her form and to bring her closer to her goal. Were some of the runs tough? YUP! But week over week Kedisha's easy runs became easier and she was able to sustain her running pace longer and longer. A 5k is now no match for her!
“My journey with running started after a long evaluation and research process but ultimately I found Coach D via internet search. She is amazing!! She met me where I was and made sure the program was fit for me; she was motivating, flexible and willing to make adjustments, where necessary, due to my work travel schedule. I never knew that I would get so hooked on running, thanks to Coach D. I would strongly recommend working with Coach D!!”
