I wanted to find a coach because I had injured myself trying to train for my first 50k with a random training plan I found online. I had pushed myself too far and ended up not being able to run the race and spending the summer in physical therapy. I signed up for the same race the next year and started working with Kristen. She really taught me a new way of training and I was able to complete my first 50k while enjoying all of it! She also helped me train to climb Mt. Rainier. With both of these events, I was always so impressed that not only could I complete them but with Kristen’s help, I was also able to enjoy them much more fully.
