The Spirit of Running

 

Meet sarah knapp

Hi, I’m Sarah.

My love for running started at a very young age. My mom says I started running shortly after I learned to walk. I was always chasing after our family dogs and cats, playing tag with our sheep, or running to catch falling leaves from the trees. By the time I was 8 years old I had already started running competitively. I loved how free I felt when I ran. I competed in many road races, cross country races, and track meets from elementary school through college. I won races, set school records, and had a lot of fun running. I had amazing races that felt easy, and I had hard races that made me feel like running was one of the hardest things I’d ever done. I’ve had races that made me cry with tears of pain, and tears of joy. Along the way I’ve had many amazing coaches, and some not so amazing coaches too. I have coached myself and many friends and family members for decades, and now I’m here to help coach you! My thirty + years of competitive running experience has resulted in a lot of wisdom about how to connect-with your body to achieve whatever wins you’re aiming for. Whether it’s just personal wins you’re after, or big races, my goal as a running coach is to inspire you to find the JOY in running. Running as a sport can be fun, and a great way to challenge yourself—but I find the spirit of running to be the most important part of running. When you connect with that, you truly FLY.

& Reviews

“Sarah helped me train for my first half marathon. I had been struggling to successfully add miles to my own workouts. Sarah helped me find positive ways to enjoy my training and help build up my miles, so when it came to race day I was prepared.”

— Racheal Fields

When I met Coach Sarah in June 2019, I was lost. I had stopped running for three years, I’d put on weight and simply didn’t recognize myself. Through her help, expertise, and incredible guidance, Coach Sarah helped me cross the CIM 2019 finish line happy, excited and INJURY FREE! She showed up that December day and surprised me throughout the marathon to help give me encouragement and support. Her weekly plans are manageable, challenging, but she is always going to meet you where you’re at. Due to her, I’ve lost weight, gotten stronger, faster, and most importantly, my running is more consistent than it’s ever been. Thank you for everything, Coach!

ONLINE TRAINING PLANS

Online training plans start at $150.00 a month. Custom training plans: how to start running, how to run your first 5k, 10k, half marathon, or ultra marathon. It can take time to build a relationship with you, so I recommend you sign up for at least 3 months of training plans, so I can get to know you and help you improve in the areas that you need the most.

Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way. Run often and run long, but never outrun your joy of running.
