Meet Stephanie

I started running in 2012 because I wanted to model being a healthy, happy, and active woman to my young daughters. My love of the sport led to becoming a run coach in 2019 because I wanted to better understand the process of creating a successful training plan for athletes of all experience levels. To further my growth as a coach in a supportive environment, I joined the Team Sugar Runs coaching team in the fall of 2023.

With nearly 200 road races from the 5K to 50K under my running belt, I have learned a lot of lessons about properly preparing the body and the mind for training, racing, and recovering from racing. Because of my experience, my approach to coaching is person-first and person-centered with a focus on making sure running makes sense within a person’s busy life and making sure running remains a fun activity that you “get” to do.
