Hi! I’m Michelle

Welcome to Run Rise Coaching! I'm Michelle, a passionate runner and certified coach dedicated to helping you achieve your running goals, whether you're training for your first 5K or aiming for your next marathon PR.

I’ve been in your shoes…I know the excitement of starting a new running journey, the challenges of pushing through tough workouts, and the rewarding feeling of crossing the finish line. With five marathons and over 20 half marathons under my belt and 15+ years of experience, I know what it takes to build endurance, strength, and confidence.

As an RRCA-certified coach and master of positive psychology (I researched and studied the psychological benefits of running and racing at the University of Pennsylvania), I believe running is more than just a physical activity; it’s a powerful way to build resilience, boost energy, find connection, and unlock your inner strength. I’ve seen firsthand how running can transform lives, and I’m here to help you tap into your full potential.

At Run Rise, I offer personalized training packages that are tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're new to running or an experienced athlete looking to take it to the next level, I’ll provide you with a plan that evolves with you, adjusting based on your progress and feedback. My approach focuses on consistency and balance — because every step, no matter how small, is a step toward something great

Whether you’re training for a race or simply looking to improve your running routine I’d love to work with you. Let’s make your goals a reality, together. Let’s raise the bar for what’s possible with every run and create lasting, positive change.
