Get to Know Your Coach, Leanne

My Full Story

Hey, I'm Leanne, your running coach. When I'm not on the track, I'm a proud mom to two awesome girls, that I consider my “why”. You'll often find me enjoying almost any live sporting event, being the loudest fan at my kids' activities, or catching up with friends over coffee or wine.


Running has profoundly changed my life, expanding my sense of what's possible. It's now my mission to share my love for this beautiful sport with as many people as I can.


From my own journey, I understand how a great coach can redefine your self-perception and unlock new heights in what you thought possible. My background in competitive sports, including college basketball, has shaped my coaching philosophy. Since 2017, I've immersed myself in running, competing at sub-elite levels in the marathon and half marathon distances, and now finding fulfillment in coaching.

As a UESCA Certified Run Coach, I have experience coaching athletes ranging from sub-elite to beginner runners, in events from the 5k to marathons. New to running? No problem; I will work with you to get you going and answer any and all questions you have.


Experienced runner? I can't wait to help take you to the next level.


I'm here to guide you, help you achieve your goals, and make sure you find joy in every step of your running journey. Let's make it an empowering experience together.
