About

Hey, I’m Annika the coach behind ‘Every Mile Coaching’

My running journey started in 2013 as a way to work through grief and depression with the sudden passing of my Dad. I knew nothing about the sport. I just laced up my shoes and tried to run. It was during those runs my life begin to change for the better! I found my new passion in life along with my Faith in Christ Jesus.

I begin challenging myself to run farther and faster. I signed up for my first half marathon in the fall of 2013, with zero knowledge of what I was doing. It was a hard and painful lesson to learn. I ran my first marathon the next year, still knowing very little about running. Again I performed poorly with the lack of knowledge and training.

Over the last several years I’ve spent many hours reading and researching about running:  the sport, nutrition and psychology. My passion is to run strong and injury free. After having my son in 2016, I returned to running stronger and PR’d every race distance.

Others started noticing my improvements in running and began asking for my help/advice with training.  As a “newbie runner”  I made a lot of dangerous mistakes. I am determined to help others not make the same mistakes I did.

In the spring 2018 I officially became a running coach with  Road Runners Club of America

-As Certified Adult Distance Running Coach I continue to learn more each day to help people achieve their goals.  My desire is to inspire others to chase their dreams and do the impossible! I am here to motivate, encourage and help others run their best!

One step at a time, one run at a time, one day at a time..Grace for every mile
