Strength and running with Emily changed my entire relationship with fitness! After my first post-babies marathon, I knew there had to be a better way to build back strength and be more strategic with my training in my all-the-sudden disappearing time. But it seemed overwhelming in my new body and schedule. In meeting with Emily, we spent a season rebuilding strength and helping me feel strong in my body again. Then, through a tailored running program I was able to re-sign up for the Marine Corps Marathon and even consider setting a goal of a PR. Emily worked with me each week to craft a schedule that allowed to me to train when and how I needed to. Through her work with the strength and running program, I was able to improve my speed and drop 9 minutes for a PR in the marathon while also preventing any injuries! I would absolutely recommend working with Emily to anyone who is looking to improve their running and relationship with fitness. Her expertise, attentiveness, and detailed personalized approach made it fun and challenging while also ensuring you can actually achieve any goals – whether it is something intense like improving on a marathon time or as simple as being able to carry more groceries in from the garage!

It all started with calf cramps at mile 18 in my first marathon last year. I’d trained diligently (I thought) but had not incorporated strength training. I finished the race but knew I needed help to continue with distance running. In comes Emily…she listened intently to my goals and put together a realistic strength training plan that I’ve followed for almost a year. She is incredible at asking questions, checking in, and helping you navigate ‘life’ while training. She changes up the exercises to avoid burnout and has amazing tips for just about any running issue. The fact that she is also a dietitian is a double whammy of goodness. I’ve learned so much about proper fueling and the importance of focusing on all three phases…pre-run, run, and post-run nutrition. Her positivity and pragmatic approach to being healthy is incredibly refreshing. I just completed a pain-free half marathon and credit so much of my success to Emily’s coaching. I’m a big fan of The Dietitian Runner!

Joining Emily’s run and strength coaching program was one of the best decisions I have made in the last year. For someone who thrives on consistency, structure and support, Emily’s program was perfect. I have run a number of 10k’s, half-marathon and marathons, and my goal at the end of the program was ultimately to become a healthier, smarter, and stronger runner. Emily carefully develops programs specific to what works best for you and your schedule, and checks-in to make sure that the workouts are satisfactory. Each workout was tailored to my athletic ability and pushed me out of my comfort zone. With her support, I had the strongest training cycle - I learned how to properly recover, and, after my 20-mile marathon training long run, I woke up the next day and felt incredible! Emily has an ability to make each of her client’s feel important, while also pushing them to be their absolute best. Having someone who holds you accountable but is also an advocate for your success is what Emily can do for you. No matter what your athletic goals are, she is truly a one-of-a- kind coach. I have learned so much through Emily’s run and strength program and I am so grateful for her guidance, as I am becoming the healthy, smart, strong runner I am meant to be!

Working with Emily on my running and strength has allowed me to hit some major goals I once thought were so far out of reach. Before I started working with Emily, I was running just to run. I put in the miles, but wasn't seeing the progress and growth I'd hoped for. I've learned the importance of balancing shorter, easier runs with strength workouts, rest, and my long run. I feel strong and powerful and I've hit paces and distances I never imagined I'd see again.

I COULD NOT HAVE RUN THE NEW YORK CITY MARATHON WITHOUT EMILY MOORE. I signed up to run The NYC Marathon on a whim through a charity. I was not a runner. No clue what I was doing. Thank God for Emily. She immediately set me up with a program. She broke everything down into small, bite-sized, steps. She answered my endless questions, soothed my anxieties, encouraged me, and held me accountable. She made modifications to fit my erratic, chaotic schedule. She made me feel confident that no matter the "set-backs," I COULD DO THIS. She made it all so manageable. She did all the hard work: the planning, scheduling, strategizing. I just had to move my legs and eat carbs. Marathon day was incredible. I get why people get addicted to this. At mile 15, I thought to myself: Holy sh*t. I am running a marathon!!! Then at mile 22, I thought I might die! My phone was dead, so no music. I didn't have my name on my shirt, so no strangers screaming my name. But I had the mantra Emily gave me, which is ultimately what got me to the finish line with a smile on my face. I COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT EMILY. My guardian angel run coach and new friend!!!

I wanted to join Emily’s 1:1 Run & Strength Coaching Program because I had some running goals for this year, and I was not confident that I could reach them without some experienced assistance. I knew my mileage was at a good place, but I was kind of lost on what to do to increase my speed and build my strength to support my running. I wanted to increase my speed to get a PR for my 10K in the summer and learn what runner-specific strength training I should be doing to get me there as well. This program has been such a game changer for me! Before I started working with her, I was sure that I had reached my limit and that getting faster was out of reach. Even with the first speed workout she gave me, I knew that I was wrong and had just needed the right coach! Her coaching and the way she built the gradual increases in my speed work has taught me just how much I can do. Her program also reminds me how important it is to focus on easy paces and allow for recovery. I have loved the strength workouts she’s given me and how strong they make me feel. Working with Emily has been such an amazing experience, and it has taught me so much about what I’m capable of. I worked with her in the past with nutrition coaching, so I knew choosing her as my run/strength coach would be the right choice, and I have not been disappointed! She is so encouraging without being pushy, and she teaches great principles as we go through the weeks of training. This coaching experience has changed my mindset because it has shown me how much I can do and that I can do the hard things! Being accountable to her has allowed me to also prove to myself that my limit just keeps getting higher. By myself, I never would have thought I could run at the paces I’ve reached and for the amount of time I can sustain them because I didn’t know how to get there. With all of the training she’s provided, I have felt stronger not just in my running, but also in my daily life. I would 100% recommend working with Emily because results don’t lie! I ran a half-marathon in the spring that was just supposed to be for fun, but I ended up getting a PR because of her coaching. She has given me the confidence and direction I needed to know that what I’m doing will help me reach my goals. If you work with her, you’ll learn so much and grow exponentially!
