After being diagnosed with a rare neurological condition and being sidelined from running, I decided to give Pineries Run Coaching a try.  Although I was a bit hesitant at first, hiring Coach Nate was, without a doubt, the best running decision ever!!  The support and knowledge that Coach Nate offers me has gotten me back to something I love....running.  Not only am I running, but I am doing it safely, successfully, and am learning how to listen to my body and adjust as needed based on my neurological symptoms that day.  I am now signed up for a half marathon in May and am so excited about getting back to distance running.  When I thought that my running days may be over, along came Nate to show me that my running journey isn't over, I am just starting a new chapter of my running journey.  Thank you, Coach Nate!!

"Since joining Pineries Running Lab, I have accomplished many things! I completed my first marathon and went from not running at all the year prior to qualifying for Chicago and Boston. I’ve also learned a lot! This includes information about nutrition, stretching, the reasons behind the training structure, types of running shoes, the impact of stress on training, and the difference between anaerobic and aerobic exercise. Prior to coaching, I wasn’t fueling at all and I had no idea about how my heart rate impacts endurance training. I was training at too high of a heart rate to best accomplish my goals. If I didn’t work with Pineries Running Lab, I would most likely be over-training since I enjoy running so much. Additionally, I wasn’t fueling during my runs to give me the energy to get the most out of my workouts.  I love working with Coach Charlie. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The weekly touchpoints and his visibility to the completion of my workouts help keep me accountable. I recommend Pineries Running Lab to everyone! Especially to those that are having trouble getting into a workout routine. The workouts are personalized for your skill level, and the accountability helps keep you consistent."

"Working with a run coach has changed my life in so many positive ways, not only as a runner, but as a person. Coming off of an invasive hip surgery, I was both scared and nervous to begin running again. My confidence was all but gone. Through my run coaching with a physical therapist, I have gained that confidence back and learned an unmeasurable amount of knowledge. The support, commitment, and dedication to my running goals from my coach have been amazing! With his help, I am running farther and faster than I ever imagined I could.  Working with the right coach isn't just about following a calendar, it's about building a relationship with someone who can help you learn, grow, fail, achieve, fail again, and grow some more. It's about supporting you as more than just a runner, but as a person, so you can become the best version of yourself. It has been absolute joy and privilege to work with the talented coaches at Pineries. Their gift to coach their athlete the way they do is the only reason I continue to be successful in my running journey."
