Client Testimonials: Here’s what clients are saying about Training with Erin

As someone who came to running later in life, I was looking for a coach who would get to know me and understand my goals. Working with Erin has transformed my running journey. She is exactly the coach I needed. With decades of experience as both a coach and an athlete, Erin embodies grace and grit. She encourages me to become the strongest version of myself while always meeting me exactly where I am—without judgment. She reminds me that movement is a gift, helps me to keep gratitude at the center of my training, and that every step brings me closer to my goals. Erin’s grounding, steady voice supports me through every phase of training. She encourages me to trust myself, and to keep going. —Amy Raff, 55, Director of the Provincetown, MA Public Library

I’m so glad I found you and that you’ve taken charge of my race training.  I’ve always done it on my own and never felt like I was improving or getting stronger.  I always felt like I wasn’t going fast enough or doing enough hard work.  I feel much more confident about running slowly now. – Allison B, 44, Hudson Valley, NY

I started working with Erin because I wanted to learn how to love running! I never thought that I had the body to run. Running on my own, I found my body hurting. I wanted to feel comfortable running around others and without injuring myself. Having Erin’s professional guidance made me feel more confident. She helped me improve my pace, endurance and confidence. Having a schedule holds me accountable, even on days where motivation is hard to find. I really appreciate Erin’s supportive nature. She is always empowering and reminds me that my struggles are normal and not to push myself too hard to avoid injury. I almost didn’t hire a coach because being held accountable can be uncomfortable at times, but it actually is incredibly motivating. I’m enjoying running so much and it pushes me in more ways than one. It forces me to prioritize being outside, which always makes my day better! Erin is a pro and the perfect person to push you to your potential!— Solo Diedhiou, 23, recent college graduate and 1st year teacher in Oakland, CA

I started working with Erin because I wanted to take on bigger challenges in ultrarunning and I felt that I would benefit from her experience and perspectives. I had recently struggled with some injuries and a DNF or two, and my confidence was shaky. Since we started working together, I feel like I’m in a great position to achieve my goals (and dream of bigger ones!). I really value her careful attention to my day-to-day progress, coaching through setbacks, and cultivating a healthy mindset. She ties it all together with great communication and a wealth of knowledge and experience.— Andy age 50

Wins from clients after only 3 months of Training with Erin:

• This time last year I was already injured and unable to run, so every day I keep going feels like a win.
• Moving faster while keeping my heart rate under control.  I know I shouldn’t, but I’m constantly comparing my heart rate to my running buddies, and I could never keep it under control.  Now, I’m at a faster pace and having far less trouble controlling my HR.
• Becoming more consistent in strength training.  (Thank you, Erin!)
• Drinking less! The further I get into training, the easier it is to turn down a drink – “I have a run tomorrow…”
