Dear Runner,

As a runner, I’ve learned that runners are a unique group of people. I have found that the vast majority are the nicest, hardest working friends that anyone can come across. They are a group of people united with one common passion. Because of that, I am proud to say that I now have the privilege of working with runners every day.

I have been running competitively for about nine years now including training of up to 100 miles a week. Cross Country was my first alternative to field hockey (which I later found out was a girls only sport!) when I moved to PA in eighth grade. Since then, I have grown to love running, racing, and the people I do it all with.

I have learned a lot from my many experiences varying from my competitive career at Shippensburg University to the anatomy and physiology classes I have taken in route to my science education degree. I trust that my experience and my passion will be helpful to many of you as we work together to be as strong and fit as we can be.

Feel free to email me with questions about nutrition, training, techniques, shoes…whatever! I look forward to hearing from you.

Happy Running and May God Bless,

Kyle

The first time I broke 2:00 in the 800m just blew me away. I was so happy to see the work I had done pay off and to say that as a distance guy I broke 2:00, it was just amazing.

I want to be known as a man who was passionate and who desired the heart of God.
