"Coaching for Badwater requires more than just advice on running the miles and sitting in the sauna; it demands judgment, trust, and experience. Kelly brought all of that and more. Her approach was intentional, adaptive, and rooted in a deep understanding of what it takes to perform under extreme conditions. Having completed the race once and crewing more than five times, I felt supported and thoroughly prepared every step of the way. I couldn’t imagine going into Badwater without her coaching, and I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly to anyone pursuing ambitious endurance goals, hopefully one day at Badwater!”

"Coaching is more than training plans and pace charts. It is support, adjustments and community. 

Kelly's vast experience from 5K to marathon and 100 mile races to Badwater 135 gives her the knowledge to know when to adjust down, and when to hold fast to the plan and push you. Her coaching has trained me back thru injuries, to the strongest I have been in years and gotten me finishes I would not have made without her guidance and support. 

Your "Why" becomes her focus and her "Why" is your success! "
