Meet Sam

Coach Sam’s passion for running began after undergoing bariatric surgery and losing 100 pounds. Initially unsure of how to start, she found the perfect opportunity when she joined a local running club. The sense of community inspired her to sign up for her first race, and from that moment on, her running journey took off! Now, with over two years of consistent training, Coach Sam has completed multiple half marathons, the iconic Chicago Marathon, and is always eager to take on her next challenge. Her story is a testament to perseverance, and she’s here to help others achieve their running goals with the same dedication and enthusiasm.

coaching Philosophy

Coach Sam’s running philosophy is built on the idea that anyone, regardless of their starting point, can achieve their running goals with the right support and mindset. She believes that running is not just about speed or distance, but about personal growth, consistency, and celebrating every milestone along the way. With a focus on gradual progression, mental resilience, and fostering a sense of belonging, Coach Sam is committed to helping runners push past their limits and find joy in the journey. Whether you're just starting out or aiming for your next race, she’s here to guide you every step of the way.
