Meet Sarah
Running has always been one of the most meaningful parts of my life. Through every season, challenge, and milestone, it has taught me confidence, discipline, and the value of showing up even on the hard days. I created Endure Running Company because I want other runners to experience that same sense of growth and accomplishment, no matter where they are in their journey. Whether you're training for your first race, getting back into running, or chasing a personal best, my goal is to provide encouragement, guidance, and personalized coaching to help you become a stronger, more confident runner while enjoying the process along the way.
My Story
Sarah's running journey began at the age of 15 and has grown into a lifelong passion for both competing and helping others achieve their goals What started as a love for running evolved into coaching after serving as a pace group leader for CARA during her first marathon experience. Since then, Sarah has completed 19 marathons and is currently training for her 20th, while continuing to compete in numerous road races and endurance events.
Through years of firsthand experience, dedication, and continued learning, Sarah has successfully coached runners of all levels - from beginners building consistency to experienced runners chasing personal bests and marathon goals. Her coaching philosophy focuses on building confidence, consistency, endurance and a positive mindset while creating personalized training tailored to each athlete's lifestyle and ambitions.
