“So thankful for Allie and Elevate Run. What you’ll get; the most supportive, motivating, cheerleader with a plan that’ll make you better. Better at running, better at staying consistent, better at believing in yourself, a better version of you. You’ll discover that you are capable of much more than you know. Elevate cares about you, the person, the mom, the runner… and makes sure all aspects of you are accounted for. I’m a 40 yr old mom of 2 littles, who had a goal to break 3:20 in the marathon. I was not only able to smash that goal with a 3:13, but also I built a confidence in myself that Allie helped me achieve by believing in me and pushing me further and faster. Let’s get that next goal!”

"A few months ago I would’ve said I hate running and now, thanks to Elevate Run Coaching, I can confidently say I enjoy it! It’s a calming outlet for the good and bad days. Not only have I found a love for the sport I once dreaded, I have gotten faster and gained so much more confidence in my running as well. This was the exact reason I came to Allie for coaching ands he exceeded all my expectations! She is easy to work with and understanding that life happens. As a college athlete, Allie has worked so hard to make my training schedule fit best for my needs and improvement. I am beyond grateful for the work and dedication she puts into me."

-Taylor Robinson (North Central College Triathlete)

"Allie is elite, simply put. Would recommend her to anyone who is serious about taking their running to the next level. For someone who likes to run but has no strategy in place (me), Allie was the perfect person to talk with and get a game plan. Not only did her framework provide clear direction and accountability, she also helped me beat my half marathon time shaving off a minute per mile. Beyond the timeliness, communication, and intentionality that she possesses, the fact that she has run major marathons and events gives me all the reassurance I need that her plans are time tested and proven. Don’t engage Allie unless you want to be challenged and developed as a runner. 10/10 recommend”

-Daniel Philpot

“When I started working with Allie, I was on my 5th running comeback for the year. Setbacks left me deconditioned and demoralized. I realized I lacked the tools I needed to come back safely to running, and I missed it so much my heart hurt. Y’all. Allie fixed it ALL! She has the expertise, compassion, organization, and energy to meet you wherever you are on your running path and elevate you to places you never may have imagined you could go. In individual sessions, we addressed running, cross training, fueling, hydration, injury prevention, and anything else I wanted to talk about. Questions are encouraged and answered with enthusiasm. The technology Allie uses is intuitive - it improved my ability to hit pace goals and to learn how to use data to inform my training. If, like I was, you are staring at your screen wondering if you should fill out the questionnaire . . . DO IT!!! During my first meeting with Allie, I told her my ultimate goal was to make it to the start line of Grandma’s Marathon - healthy. Eight months later, I am a strong, healthy runner who ran the most enjoyable marathon of my life, never hitting “the wall!” I can’t WAIT to see what comes next!!!”

-SIMONE HOWE

“I had such a personal goal, a  half marathon,  I didn’t know if I could ever do it much less entrust my emotional journey. 60 years old and wanting to run a half marathon in honor of my son who passed away suddenly as he was training to run his own marathon. I wanted to run it for him and for a small piece of healing for me  From the minute I met Allie she had my heart, as well as a plan, she knew was much more than physical training- she consistently encouraged me and sincerely was so proud of each milestone for me along the plan- she gave me the confidence I needed even through setbacks and disappointments- she always believed in me and I knew it! I crossed the half marathon finish line in a special place for myself and my son- the Grand Tetons, even though 1000 miles away she was cheering me on and was so proud of me and my journey- I will forever be grateful to her and how she made my goal possible- Thank you Allie! -  I definitely have gained much more than a coach!”

-Jill Gardner

“I am so thankful for Elevate Coaching. For years I have had the goal of running my first marathon. However, I was lacking in confidence and how to get there. Allie walked me through both of those hurdles so that I could accomplish my goal of completing a marathon! I can’t wait to continue working with Elevate to continue completing my goals. It is a true game changer to have an experienced coach to walk alongside you.”

-HOLLY SUTTERFIELD

"I highly recommend Allie as a running coach! She bases her coaching on solid research and is always open to updating plans based on the latest information and athlete feedback. Beyond her expertise, Allie is incredibly kind and encouraging, bringing a well-rounded approach to training with a variety of workouts and recovery-focused down weeks. Allie helped me stay focused on my goals while setting clear expectations about how weather impacts performance (which kept me from panicking). Her guidance and encouragement got me through my first marathon training cycle, and I wouldn’t feel as confident without her support."

-Madysen Bailey

"I can’t express enough how grateful I am to have Allie as my running coach! Allie shows incredible passion and dedication for running and coaching. Allie took the time to understand my goals and created a personalized training plan that truly suited my needs. The personalized training plan has been incredibly effective, pushing me to new distances and improving my speed. Thanks to her, I’ve seen significant improvements in my endurance, speed, and overall confidence as a runner. Allie’s motivational support and encouragement during tough workouts and long runs kept me pushing forward. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to enhance your running, Allie has the expertise to help you succeed. I am incredibly grateful for my progress and I give all credit to Allie."

-Kelsey Coupaud

"I don’t think I ever would have run a marathon without Allie. Her kindness, encouragement, and support helped me take the giant leap of faith to sign up and hit send on both the St. Jude and Chicago marathons. Not only did Allie create a personalized training plan for both races, she checked in with me, cheered for me, and gave me the courage to keep going throughout my entire training. Allie is an incredible athlete and the best cheerleader. I think she was as excited as I was when I crossed the finish line on race day. I am blessed to call her my leader and my friend."

-BERKLI BINNS

“I met Allie when I was a brand new runner in my 50’s. Her knowledge of running and her desire to see all runners succeed was evident from the beginning. She was the first person I thought of when I started training for the Chicago Marathon. She helped me build a strong training plan that would not only ensure I would be fully prepared, but one that would also help keep me healthy and strong during the long months of training. Because of Allie’s help, her encouragement, and her support, I had a very successful race!"
