Elida got hurt in a non-running accident and had to put her goals on hold for a long time while healing with the help of our PT partner Dr. Jade.

But now that she's got the green light to run again, it's on! Jade recommended Elida seek out the help of a coach to start back up safely and get back to the marathon distances she used to do—and beyond.

Laura is a super strong runner from Auburn and looking to run her first 50k at @norcalultras Rio del Lago! On the way, she's planning to do the Lake Tahoe Marathon. What a great lineup!

Meet Song, who's training for the Wild Woman 50k in June! Song's main goal in running is to listen to her body and focus on her journey rather than the outcome of one particular finish line.

In running, we can have outcome goals like finish times, but process goals like feeling strong, staying fueled, running healthy, and much more are just as important—if not more!

Meet Dani, who finished Black Canyons 100k recently and is now back for more! Dani is training for the Bay Area 100, a new race in the hills of the Eastern San Francisco Bay Area. Dani’s main goal is to not lose focus after a few months when training for a big event.

Meet Dean, who's training for a six-day race at Across The Years, a multi-day ultra put on by Aravaipa Running.

Meet Alexandra, a #RADrabbit ultrarunner and Hyrox aficionado! She will begin her coaching journey with us in early January after some much-deserved rest following a busy season.

Meet Jenny! She's training for the 2026 Javelina 100-mile race in the Arizona desert. She has already run the 100k distance there in 2024, so it won't be a quantum leap! But what most differentiates the two distances is likely the need to run through the night. Besides the nutrition puzzle, of course.

Meet Joanna from Rocklin, who set a goal to finish a marathon when she turned forty. Two years later, Joanna is unstoppable. Now her goal isn’t just a marathon, but the Canyons 50k!
