MaddyMako

Maddy has over a decade of coaching experience where she has coached individuals, groups of adults, and kids. The vivid memory of her first 4-mile road race holds the same significance as completing her first marathon a few years later. It's an accomplishment to set a goal and pursue it and not everyone's goal is racing. Maddy loves helping runners get started, get back on their feet, discover, and rediscover their love of running any way they can.

How would you describe your coaching style?
I meet my athletes where they are, set realistic, achievable goals, and celebrate the little wins along with the big ones.

What is your proudest coaching moment?
I get to repeat my proudest moment over and over when I watch a new runner, who has been showing up and doing the work, realize how far they've come.

What is your favorite workout to coach and why?
Progression tempo run because it mimics ideal racing strategy so, it's a good way to get that muscle memory of what a negative split effort feels like.
