Personalized Running Coach – Training for 5K, 10K and Marathons

Training with Nichole has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my running career thus far. She has an amazing sense and intuition on how to get the most out of her athletes and has made me the runner I am today. In just three short months of working with Nichole, my 5K personal best went from 20:45 to 19:45 and I owe that to her thoughtfully structured workouts and belief in my ability to improve. I am very excited to continue to see where Nichole’s training takes me!

I was intrigued to discover what my running potential could be. What’s amazing about Nichole is her gift in motivating athletes in their teens to those like me, a 63 year old grandmother of 6!  I’m proof positive you’re never too old to see what you’re capable of in terms of fitness and setting personal goals.  With Nichole, I’ve learned the importance  of building a solid training base by having a variety within the workout assignments and getting faster in the process. There’s a science behind how she crafts your training plans, and seeing how it all comes together on race day is magical.

I’ve been coached by Nichole for 4 years. My last big race was the 2024 Twin Cities Marathon. Throughout my entire training cycle I had ZERO injuries and lined up at the start line healthy and fit!  I ran an 11 minute PR, finishing 2nd in my age group. My finishing time is a solid 31 minutes under the Boston Marathon qualifying time for my age group.

The very best part about working with Nichole is her enthusiasm for you as an athlete to find “Your Joy” in running.

Nichole was born to be a coach. Her expertise and knowledge of training methodology is unmatched in this industry. I was a 3:17 marathon when she first put a bug in my ear about going for a sub-3 hour marathon. No one had ever believed in me like she had! We slowly chipped away at this time, and after a couple of babies, some injuries along the way, I finally ran my sub-3 hour marathon at CIM in 2021. It is still one of my proudest running moments. We have been working together on and off for over 10 years, and there is no one else I would trust with my training. She knows me better than I know myself, cares deeply, and challenges me to new levels that I never even dreamed of achieving.
