About

I specialize in women beginner runners. Whether your goal is to start running, get back to running, or improve your running, hiring a coach will help you meet your goals, motivate you, and keep you injury free. I will be with you all the way.

I have been a long distance runner for 45 years and have competed in 30 marathons and numerous races in various distances (1 mile races to 200-mile relays). I train beginner women runners ages 26-62 each fall to run the Tobacco Road Half Marathon in March.

I am a certified running coach from RRCA and USATF since 2015.

    Esther was a great coach to train with! She was supportive and adaptive to my specific training needs and gave me the encouragement I needed to complete two half marathons! She offered a personalized training schedule, nutritional advice, and weekly exercises. She was always available for questions and support - I would highly recommend Esther!

    I took on the crazy goal of 3 half marathons in 60 days. I have done races in the past, but never so many so close together. Esther did an amazing job pulling together a training plan to train up to, and in between all three races. I made it through without over training & no injuries.
    I really appreciated that she embraced my goal to run the San Francisco half using the full 3 hours allotted... Finishing last is not a typical runners goal. It was important to me to be able to walk the mile across the Golden Gate bridge (twice - out / back) so I could enjoy the beautiful vistas & marvel that is the bridge. Again, hit it spot on.... I have the most amazing photos & memories and I managed to finish just in time to get my finishers medal.
    Esther is super friendly and client oriented. Not pushing you to do things that are common or standard goals; she really gets into what it is you want. She is super supportive and will be with you through every tough workout, milestone & accomplishment.
    Next big, audacious goal I set for myself I will be right back to her for help & coaching.

    I love to run and share my experience and running enthusiasm with others, especially beginners.

    I’ve worked with Boston qualifiers and beginners and runners who just want to improve their times. 

    I train many runners for the annual Tobacco Road Half Marathon that is held in my city of Cary, NC. The trail is nearby and it’s a great opportunity for runners to train on the race course.

    A running coach knows how to keep you motivated and injury-free as well as making training a habit you can follow. 

    Always keep your goals in mind. Make sure you hire a coach that understands your needs and capabilities.
