Meet Your Coach, Meg

I have been running competitively for over 25 years.  I ran varsity cross country and track at Houston High School in Memphis, Tennessee, helping push my team to multiple state championships.  After high school, I attended Birmingham-Southern College where I ran Division I cross country and track, receiving scholarships in both academics and athletics, and graduating with a BA in Biology and English.  After college, I graduated 7th in my class at Cumberland Law School, and I am a member of the Alabama State Bar.

I started marathoning in 2016 and fell in love with the marathon distance.

I achieved a Boston qualifying time at my 3rd marathon and have since PR’d in the 10k, half marathon, and marathon, now running faster than I did in college!  I believe there are many PRs ahead, and I run because I strive to get the best out of myself.

After having so much success racing, I decided to pursue run-coaching certifications, and now I am an RRCA and USATF certified run coach.

I work with runners of all ability levels, from true beginners to Boston Marathon hopefuls.

I have been married for 17 years and have two children, a boy and a girl.  I love learning new things, pushing myself outside my comfort zone, and collecting running shoes.  I have a 3rd degree black belt in Yoshukai karate and have taught children’s karate classes.  I am passionate about helping people and apply that passion to run coaching.  My favorite mantra is, “Know your limits, then break through them.”

Testimonials

“Meg began as my running coach in March of 2022. I had set running aside for many years and was attempting to start over. As we got going, Meg took the time speaking with me to understand my running past, my physical condition and my goals. She also took time to listen to me describe my having to battle myself every day to re-start. She built a run plan that was specifically aimed at my individual need. She has been an encourager and an expert run coach all along my running re-start journey. It’s refreshing to work with someone as elite as Meg who is also caring and personable towards others, no matter where they are in their journey. She’s an amazing coach, and an even more amazing person. If she can help me (her most challenging athlete), she can help you, too!”

“Coach Meg is a joy to work with. She has deep love and passion for the sport, and cares deeply about her athletes. She understands the busy lifestyle that comes with kids, and has been great at working my schedule around all my daily activities, always helping me reach my goals. Since working with her I have learned a lot about myself as a runner and what I am capable of.”
