Maddie is not only extremely knowledgeable about training, but are the biggest encourager. Maddie trained me for a Spartan race and triathlon. They mixed their knowledge of lifting, biking, swimming, and running to get me ready for these races which within three weeks of each other. The workouts were strategic, balanced, and pushed me more than I knew I could go but in the best way possible. Maddie is also extremely understanding of life events and is willing to work with you, communicate effectively, and meet your needs as your coach. They are your biggest supporter. I’ll never forget them sprinting at me cheering me on during my triathlon. Maddie roots for you, pushes you, and always knows your potential. Maddie is an amazing coach and person to have in your life! - Megan

Maddie is everything that you want in a coach. They are attentive, knowledgeable, kind, passionate, and inspiring. I was looking for a coach to guide me to completing a 50k trail ultra event. I had been intimidated by other coaches I had approached because as a slower runner and a newer athlete to this type of endurance event, I felt that other coaches had an elitist approach that just didn’t work for me. Even though Maddie is experienced and is are an accomplished athlete, they never made me feel less than or that I didn’t belong if my goals aren’t at a certain caliber. They are attentive to detail, and always come up with a way to make things work for my schedule and goals. They pushed me when I needed it, but also comforted me when I was down. I know Maddie care deeply each of their athletes and takes great pride in helping them achieve their goals in any way they can. After 8 months of training with Maddie I went from a causal half-marathon runner to completing my ultra and gaining so much knowledge and benefits from their programming as well! Maddie even showed up for me on my race day and knowing they were there gave me such relief and joy. I cannot say enough good things about Maddie as I consider them not only a coach, but a confidante and friend. - Randi

This summer, I was training to finish the Leadville 100 trail run after an unsuccessful first attempt due to cramps. I wanted a coach who understood nutrition and how to train properly to avoid cramps during a race. I came upon Maddie by recommendation of a friend of mine. After speaking with Maddie on the phone, I knew I had found the right coach for me, even though I previously spoken with Leadville specific coaches. Maddie stood out to me as the right coach with their down to earth and personal approach and the amount of detail that they were willing to go to in order to understand me and what would work well for me in terms of training given my complicated and extremely busy schedule. They understand nutrition very well, and this is a major concern of mine for preventing cramps. I am struck by how much Maddie made herself available. Other coaches I spoke to would only talk perhaps once a week on the phone, but Maddie did not set any limit. They were always there if I had a question or needed to talk and would also follow up with me. They responses were always well though out and never haphazard feeling. I know that Maddie has a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw from and could answer questions about anything I’d ask, from gear to nutrition to recovery. I am also amazed at how quickly Maddie would respond. They would always send out an email to all their athletes if they were going to be unavailable for a period of time due to their own race schedule. I am not a Type A person and I knew that I would probably not work well with a Type A coach. Maddie struck me as the kind of person who is both flexible and able to appropriately encourage me to the best of my abilities. They are very understanding of the balance between ideal plans and actual realities of life, and I never felt shamed when the workout schedule didn’t go as planned. They are the kind of person who will give you their fullest in a way that inspires you to give your fullest, not out of guilt, but out of a deep knowing that, “You got this.” Maddie is more than just a coach - they are someone who will take a personal interest in you and your life and open your eyes to see what you’re made of. I am happy to say that with Maddie’s coaching, I successfully finished Leadville 100 this summer, even with significant difficulties during the race. I am grateful for the support they gave me, even during the race, following me and texting recommendations and encouragement. - John
