Our why
Here at Persistent Running, our mission is to equip you to become your best, strongest running self. But more than that, our mission is to help you learn to love the gift of running. to us, a ‘win’ in our mind is so much more than just a good work out, a killer quality session, or even a pr - it’s about enjoying and truly loving the process and journey it takes to get to the breakthroughs. Much of life and the joy of running happens in the in between - the not yet, the almost there. and that’s where we meet you.
Our vision is to be so much more than just a training plan - my mission is to be a valuable resource, an encouraging friend, a cheerleader when you have stellar runs, and someone to listen to when that run doesn’t go as planned. I really, really love the running community and I love how running connects so many people, all across the world!
Our goal with Persistent Running is inspire you to become your best running self. This may look different for each individual runner. But, we all can grow as runners, we all can learn, we all can reach new levels of fitness and achievements - but we have to pursue it - with persistence
We started run coaching, because we love running, but after a year of starting, we realized that just as much as I love running, we love seeing others win with their running too. I love inspiring and motivating and cheering from the sidelines. And as your coaches, that’s what we are- a mentor, an encourager, a friend, and someone to pick you up when you are down.
We want you to become your best running self and to have someone to encourage you during those hard days, motivate you when you need it, and celebrate with you when you cross that finish line! Persistent Running isn’t just about getting PRs (although we love when that happens) but it’s about becoming a better runner, mentally, physically and emotionally than you ever thought possible. It’s about enjoying the journey and seeing how much potential, you truly do have as a runner. There is something so exciting about unlocking hidden potential, and as coaches it is our honor and privilege to help you uncover it.
Why would I invest in a coach?
We understand there are plenty of free training plans out there and a variety of methods/approaches/and theories on training for races. But, let’s take a moment to think about how it would feel to have someone along with you - for your entire training cycle. How would it feel to have someone you could ask any question at any time of the day (and not have to search google for about 100 years before you found the answer).
Your goals are important to us and we want to make sure you achieve them. We also know that you are capable of such amazing things, whether you see that or not! It is amazing what happens when proper training, but a little dreaming come together. Amazing things happen, we promise.
