About the Coach
I’m Kristen – distance runner of over 23 years and Physical Therapist of over 10 years.
I started distance running just before high school. I knew I couldn’t make any other sports teams at the competitive high school I went to, and in cross country there are no cuts! (because people cut themselves!) When I started, I struggled to run one mile at a time! But after a couple years of running Cross Country and Track, I experienced the improvement that comes with hard work and consistent running. I was hooked! I especially loved Cross Country because of the longer distances, hills, trails, and variety of courses- Track was just necessary to stay in shape year round for Cross Country! I had the privilege of running with great teammates and coaches. By Junior/Senior year I got to compete in Section and State Championships with my team. I also participated and coached in summer running camp at Humboldt State. My proudest high school accomplishment was winning the “Most Improved” award.
After high school, I briefly ran for the San Diego State Cross Country team. I unfortunately became burned out, injured, and overtrained. But this led me to becoming a Physical Therapist and learning how to train smarter, so it all worked out! I then transitioned to more fun/less competitive running with the San Diego Track Club and Aztec Rec Running groups. Throughout the years, I gained experience running and racing a variety of distances and events: 1 mile, 2 miles, 3ks, 5ks (PR 20:07), 10ks, 12ks (PR 53:58), 15ks, 10 milers, Half Marathons (over 45, PR 1:37), Marathons (7, PR 3:48), relay races (Ragnar), obstacle/mud runs (Rugged Maniac, Spartan), trail races, and everything in between. Over the last 7 years I have learned to run during pregnancy, postpartum, and as a mom of 2 littles. Motherhood and stroller running is a whole new adventure! I love the different challenge that each distance and phase of life brings! I’m now entering my “comeback” phase and I’m determined and excited to break personal records I set in my late teens and early 20s! Here we go!
I have a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from San Diego State University, and a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from University of St. Augustine. My education has helped me understand the anatomy, physiology, and research behind running, training, and injury prevention. I also completed a Yoga Teacher Training course, so I can incorporate yoga for cross training and injury prevention. I enjoy keeping up on the latest running books and research so I can pass this knowledge along to my athletes!
Outside of running, Coaching, and Physical Therapy, I love spending time with my husband and 2 kids here in the PNW!
Thank you SO much for supporting me and my family through Run All the Miles!
