“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!”

“Elevate Run Coaching gave me the confidence and structure I needed to go from an 7+ year break from running to crossing the finish line of my first marathon! Allie believed in me on the days I doubted myself, celebrated every win with me, and guided me through setbacks with so much patience and care. Her steady support and personalized training truly changed what I thought I was capable of and helped me to rediscover my strength and joy for running! I truly leveled up mid year with my training goals. Also, the v.O2 app made everything incredibly easy to follow, helping me stay consistent and trust the process week after week. I’m blessed and deeply grateful for this journey and for a coach who helped me accomplish something truly life-changing.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Elevate run coaching! At 6 months postpartum I started running again- just a few miles a week to get back into shape. I ended up randomly signing up for my first half marathon and gave myself 2 months to train. Allie made me a training plan and I ran my first half marathon 9 months postpartum and beat my sub 2 hours goal time! I couldn’t have done it without her. I never had structure to my runs when I went out and ran and she taught me how to build endurance, properly fuel, and overall trust the process. I will trust Elevate with all of my future races and goals!”

“When I decided to take on the challenge of running a marathon and set some personal goals, it felt isolating and overwhelming at first. Finding Allie and Elevate Coaching changed everything. From day one, Allie listened closely to what I wanted and built a personalized plan that fit seamlessly into my routine. As life happened and adjustments were needed, the Elevate team was always there… quick to respond, offering real-world advice, and giving me the confidence to keep training the right way. I’ve seen plenty of generic running plans online, but having a true partner who tailors your plan and encourages you every step of the way is something you only get with a coach like Allie and her team. Thanks to them, I not only had a blast on race day but also set a new PR and felt strong throughout the entire process. I can’t recommend Elevate Coaching enough!"

"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”

"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."

“I am very thankful and appreciative to have worked with Trista at Elevate. I was coming off a stress fracture and working with someone who understands the whole picture was a huge benefit in my success. I was very confident in following a well designed plan that allowed me to put in the miles and build a base, grow my confidence in my legs, and still understand that I was in fact healthy and ready for this marathon plan. I have seen Trista work with multiple athletes. I have worked beside her as a coach myself. She has a tremendous knowledge base and a great personable touch to tap into you and bring out the best in your running. It helped me tremendously for her to develop the plan for me as I also went through PT to gain strength and miles. I was very pleased with my marathon run and time, and I know that following the plan she gave paved the way to a successful day in NYC. I would absolutely recommend any athlete to work with her and Elevate Run Coaching. I look forward to making a plan for more races and trying to refocus and work toward that BQ goal. Thank you Trista”

“Working with Allie has completely changed how I approach running! She coached me through my last marathon and is now guiding me toward goals that honestly scare me, but in the best way. She pushes me with challenging workouts because she knows I can handle them, even when I doubt myself. Her knowledge of running is vast and incredibly valuable, but what sets her apart is the belief she has in her athletes. That belief has given me more confidence than any training plan ever could. For the first time, I am not burnt out after a training block, but I'm itching to get back out there and am more in love with running than ever before. I credit that to the perfect training plan Allie crafted for me! She is always on time with updated plans and is extremely accessible whenever I need to adjust something or ask for advice. Her attention to detail and commitment to my progress makes the coaching experience truly personalized and intentional. The value she brings to the running coaching game is unmatched and I truly could not recommend her enough! If you’ve been thinking about getting a coach, do it!! You will not regret it and Elevate Run Coaching should be your first choice!”

“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!!!”

“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!”

“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.”

"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."

“I have seen great results using the plans made for me by Allie. The workouts are challenging but attainable, making it fun to surprise myself with what I’ve been able to accomplish. She’s helped me push beyond what I dreamed possible for myself and with consistent training under her direction, I’ve gotten so much faster and more confident in my abilities! I cannot recommend her enough as a coach!”

“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!"

“Elevate was exactly what I needed to train for my 3rd marathon. Allie listened to my goals and created the perfect plan that fit my season of life, and made training feasible for what I wanted to accomplish. When it came time for my race I felt prepared and ready to go. Allie offered the perfect mix of expertise, guidance and hype girl! Whether you’re new to running or a seasoned runner Elevate is who you want coaching you!”

"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."

“I really loved my training plan. Even though I didn’t do a “race,” I’ve gotten faster and more confident with my running. In the past I would have been SO worked up about these big workouts but I really felt confident to give each one my best shot. My biggest win is I wasn’t scared to try! I am still proud of my effort and my mental growth of not freaking out beforehand so THANK YOU for putting together a plan that allowed me to grow both physically and mentally while supporting Camrie in her marathon build! It’s honestly been really fun and rewarding!”
