Amber's Mission - #runwithconfidence
Amber's mission is to work with each runner on an individual basis and customize their training plans to help them achieve their goals (big and small!) Amber is incredible at communicating with her athletes and will make sure all training is doable, but she'll definitely push her runners to reach new milestones! Amber is a fantastic coach because she's part cheerleader and part realist- she'll tell you like it is and then cheer you on when she sees how hard you are working!
Amber has over 15 years of running experience and knowledge - her goal is to help her athletes to feel strong, have confidence in their abilities, and to go out there and crush their goals! Amber also has been running/training/coaching through raising her own kids and working as a school principal, so she definitely knows how hard it can be to do it all, but has a ton of experience in helping her athletes to find balance.
Amber's PR's are:
50K: 4:49
Marathon: 3:07
Half Marathon: 1:26
