"As it became increasingly evident that pursuing a BQ in 2020 wouldn't be an option, shifting gears to stay motivated with new challenges became my priority. After training with Coach Maria for my cancelled spring marathon, I was confident that when I approached her with the idea of gradually building my mileage over the summer with the goal of hitting a 100 mile week by fall that she'd plot a surefire plan to help see it through intelligently and injury-free. What she delivered was perhaps the most fun and rewarding running experience of my life.

As the weeks flew by, I felt myself getting stronger and even as the miles piled up they felt uniquely challenging and never like a slog. A thoughtful tactician, Maria listened to my feedback every step of the way and dynamically tailored the training plan to my schedule, virtual races, and even the weather. Her detailed strength and speed workouts added bonus value to what was already a top notch plan.

Thorough and committed, Maria uses her vast knowledge to push you as an athlete towards your goals. All that you can ask for in a coach and more!"
