      <image:caption>A training block &amp; a race that truly made me believe in myself. I’ve been working with Nicole for 2 years, 4 races together, and I’m truly blown away by how far I’ve come. Not only did this race come with a 19-minute PR from my last marathon in April, but it also came with a whole new sense of confidence and an even stronger love for this sport and the community that comes with it. I’ve grown to LOVE the early Saturday mornings, the long runs and chit-chats with friends, and the people who show up and share the same crazy goals as me. Somewhere along the way, running became so much more than chasing a time. It became about the people, the process, and the person I’ve become along the way -Sofia M.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I first started working with Nicole right after I signed up for my first marathon, NYC Marathon 2021. Being my first ever marathon, you could imagine the nerves. Nicole eased my mind and coached me through the whole training process. Nicole really takes a holistic approach to her coaching. To wrap She first started by understanding my current level of training, specific goals, injuries and concerns. With that info, she curated a marathon training program specific to me and continued to check-in throughout the process. The check-ins were vital to me throughout training. We’d debrief on long runs, weekly mileage wins and loses, nutrition, shoe recommendations, mindset, etc. My main concern was to get through the race without serious injuries. I am prone to knee and hip injuries from running and Nicole really took my concerns into account. She recommended I go through PT in addition to my training. During the race and the days that followed, I felt amazing, besides the expected aches and pains when running 26 miles!   Although, I was working with Nicole virtually it felt like we were training together in person. Nicole is so knowledgeable about all things running and you can really tell she loves what she does and wants others to love it too. I can’t thank her enough for her time, knowledge and confidence in me to get me to race day. I thought my first marathon would be my last but, Nicole warned me that might not be the case. I will 100% hire Nicole again to coach me through it. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.” — Dana G.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A communicative and supportive running coach. I connected with Nicole to train for my first half marathon.  She customized a program specific to my needs and regularly guided me with insights and tips, proactively checking in on my progress, and managed me through successes and challenges. Working with Nicole improved my gait, increased my endurance, and boosted my confidence and appreciation for running. Would highly recommend her. -Lara B.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials - I signed up for a half marathon on a whim on January 1st to give myself a goal to work towards in the new year. I wasn’t a runner in the slightest and quickly became overwhelmed with the idea of it all and burnt out from not training properly. Once I started working with Nicole that changed! She corrected my running form, created a custom plan for my schedule, helped me through injuries and kept me motivated throughout the entire training process. And most importantly she somehow helped me learn to enjoy running! The half marathon was way easier and more fun than I ever imagined because of how mentally and physically prepared I was as a result of working with Nicole. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough and will definitely be giving her a call when I sign up for a full! -Kerry P.</image:title>

      <image:title>Testimonials</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I had already done a marathon with a coach, so when I signed up for Nicole to coach me through the NYC 1/2 marathon, I thought I already had all the tools necessary to be successful but I was wrong. Nicole first set up a consultation and a GAIT analysis to understand what my goals were, and where there were opportunities with my stride. After having a better understanding of my expectations she created a program that wouldn’t only work for my busy traveling schedule but also help me surpass goals in a way that was realistic. There were runs in which I didn’t feel confident in the outcomes but Nicole was there to reassure me and give me advice on how we could get better each time.The weekly check ins and monthly runs we did together didn’t only just help me for this race but I believe have set me up for future races. I learned multiple exercises and techniques that I hadn’t known of before that made me a stronger runner with better form. Nicole doesn’t just want you to learn how to run for the race you are training with her but she wants to teach you how to run for life. I am grateful I signed up for Nicole’s coaching for this race and look forward to working with her in the future. “ - Dorothy B.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials - “Running a marathon has always been a long term goal of mine. The training seemed scary and overwhelming until I met Nicole. She tailored a 4 month plan for me that catered to my schedule and goals. She couldn’t be more responsive and helpful throughout the process. I HIGHLY recommend using her to help guide you along the way and even be your biggest cheerleader haha. If it’s your first or 100th distance run I would 10/10 recommend using her! Can’t wait to start my next plan with her!” — Jessica G</image:title>

      <image:title>Testimonials - I wanted to do a marathon for my 50th birthday last April. But I wasn’t making it. So for my 50th birthday I decided on a half titled, “America’s Toughest Road Race”. But I still wanted to make it to the marathon level. I’m still in my 50th year anyway! I had all kinds of aches and pains to work through, and all kinds of beliefs that maybe my body was just too “over the hill” to get me there. Not to mention dealing with the emotional heaviness of coping with my mom’s massive stroke in May. For all of this, I needed a coach. Thank you for pulling me through and pushing me past my own hurdles! The kind of work you do is life changing. I’m so so grateful for you!! - Christine</image:title>

      <image:caption>“Signing up for my second half marathon was nerve-racking and full of doubts. Running had always been my weakness and my previous half marathon left me feeling defeated and like I could never be a runner. Nicole helped me step by step, and strategically individualized my training plan to build my endurance, speed, and confidence each week. Her detailed plans made every run easy to follow, and she was completely prepared for any setbacks or adjustments that needed to be made to my training schedule. Nicole made the experience feel like a team effort, and that 13.1 miles wasn’t an obstacle I had to tackle alone. By the end of the program, I had seen changes in my pacing, and my mindset and found the fun in something I once dreaded. During the race, I trusted my training and was so proud of myself for accomplishing my goal time! Nicole was the first person to wish me good luck on race day, the first person to congratulate me when I crossed the finish line and made weeks of training feel personal and tailored from start to finish. Her help was invaluable and an educational experience that I’ve continued to implement in my daily workouts. Now, I'm excited to run and I can't wait to sign up for my next race!” - Kelly C.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials - “After getting into the NYC marathon, I knew that I could train physically, but I was looking for that accountability that i couldn’t  give myself. After going through the overall plan, nicole helped ease any worries that I had through everything from nutrition to race day logistics for my first marathon. The day of, although I had some nerves, I knew that because I had been following the plan, doing my runs, and checking in with nicole throughout the process I knew I had the ability to finish the race. During the race, I felt incredible because I knew I was prepared, and I’ve even gone from hating running to enjoying it, and already looking forward  to signing up for my next race!”</image:title>

      <image:title>Testimonials</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I signed up for the Honolulu marathon on a whim with very little running experience and had never ran over 4 miles at a time in my life. I signed up for this marathon thinking I could train on my own, but after realizing how crazy my upcoming schedule was I knew I could use some help and accountability. Nicole was the perfect person to help me reach my goals! She was extremely patient when creating my training plan because I am a flight attendant and work crazy hours, so having her to help me figure out what I needed to do on my layovers was so helpful. We did weekly check-ins where we discussed how I was feeling physically, but also how I was doing mentally. Training for a marathon required way more mental strength than I ever could have imagined, but Nicole was there every step of the way to encourage me and remind me why I started in the first place.  Throughout the training process, I encountered a few minor injuries, but we were able to rearrange the schedule, take time to heal, incorporated rehabilitating stretches and exercises and I was able to continue training and finish the race! My first marathon was an experience I have never had before, leaving me feeling so accomplished and so proud of myself.… and believe it or not I had so much FUN! I plan to do more marathons in the future, and I know Nicole will be my go-to personal hype woman again when that time comes. She is a genius at what she does and I couldn’t recommend training with her more. Thank you Nicole for all your patience and hard work, it was a pleasure crushing my goals with you by my side.” -Christina B.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials</image:title>
      <image:caption>I had a terrible experience with my first half marathon, thanks to a generic training plan that left me over-training and with a serious hamstring injury. When I decided to run my second half marathon, I knew I needed a trainer who could help me reach the start line healthy, stronger, and confident. That's when I met Nicole. From day one, Nicole was incredibly supportive and understanding of my injury. She corrected my running form, helped me recover from my injury, and created a personalized training plan that was suited just for me. We had weekly check-ins and in-person runs together, where she would motivate and cheer me on every step of the way. The exercises and techniques she taught me helped me become a stronger runner and kept me injury-free. When race day finally came, I was never more mentally and physically prepared. I wasn't nervous because Nicole had prepared me for this moment. Thanks to her help, I ran the best race of my life and felt incredibly accomplished and proud of myself. Nicole is an incredible running trainer, and I cannot recommend her enough for any distance race you are looking to run! She goes above and beyond to ensure that her clients are healthy, strong, and confident. Thanks to Nicole's guidance and support, I was able to achieve my goals and become a better runner overall. - Anna V.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Running the 2022 NYC Marathon is an experience I will never forget. On race day I felt fully prepared to conquer the course with the help of my amazing trainer, Nicole. I trained with Nicole for about 6 month prior to the marathon. We did some pre training before we got into the mist of marathon training and I truly am so grateful for that. Those short, easy runs were truly the ones that prepared me for that 26.2 miles. I am extremely grateful for  Nicole's guidance from the running plan, the meet ups, the nutrition advice and even the sneakers. Without those little steps I would've never been able to fully prepare for the big day. That 6 month training period truly tested me physically and mentally. I feel that after conquering that's I can truly do anything now!” -Taylor C.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Training with Nicole has been so rewarding. I debated signing up for a half marathon for so long and decided I would reach out to Nicole and give it a shot having no idea what it would be like having a running couch. Nicole gave me a new perspective on running. She took the time to understand me as a runner and how to work with me. Past problems I’ve had with running that have made me doubt I could ever run far distances went away. Nicole gave me solutions and always supported me. I began to enjoy waking up super early and dedicating time to my runs. I enjoyed the challenges throughout the week learning new things and pushing myself. I thought it was going to be difficult having a busy work schedule but Nicole customized a program for me each week around my time. I now feel stronger and more confident than I felt three months ago. I finished my first half marathon and am looking forward to so many more. Nicole made this such a fun, rewarding experience and I couldn’t have done this without her!” - Taylor T.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Before I met Nicole I had only ran a 5k. I always wondered if I would be able to run further. Nicole coached me and helped me run my first half marathon! She helped me set realistic goals, provided encouragement, and was able to answer any questions I had throughout the training process. Nicole's run club has a friendly vibe. Everyone either runs at their own pace or stays with a group whose pace is similar to theirs. I found a group that runs similar paces to me, and this helped me make new friends! Nicole's course maps are differentiated based on how many miles you plan to run that day. The courses are always different too! (Which is great because you never get bored running on the same course!) If you are looking to become a runner, join a run club to meet new friends or challenge yourself.. Nicole is the girl to call!” -Jaclyn V.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“After losing 25lbs and reaching my goal weight, I was looking for something new. Something I knew would challenge me. Before training for my half marathon, running was never a strength of mine. Every time I got on a treadmill I felt nervous; anything more than a mile would freak me out! After seeing that the next local half marathon was on my 25th birthday, it felt like a sign. Not sure if I would have signed up myself, but my friends, family and Nicole gave me the motivation to do it. Nicole literally showed me I can do what I think is impossible. I pushed myself further than my limits. I tapped into parts of myself I never even knew existed. Most importantly, I tried something new to better myself. Training for the half not only increased my physical endurance, but my mental endurance as well. Nicole helped me prove to myself that if I really put my mind to it, I can absolutely do it. I'm forever grateful for this experience. I gifted myself a medal for my 25th birthday, probably one of the coolest birthday gifts I've ever gotten! There's no other run coach to go to- she's the one. Thank you Nicole.” -Jordelin L.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials</image:title>
      <image:caption>After signing up for my first half marathon, I didn't know what to expect. From the moment I met Nicole, I sensed something special about her ability to coach and train individuals to reach their full potential. I’ve had many coaches throughout my life, and to say Nicole is one of the best I’ve had is an understatement. From the moment we sat down to discuss my schedule, specific goals, and concerns, to our first one on one session where she evaluated my gait and guided me through several drills to refine my form, I knew I was in good hands. She took the time to understand my strengths and weaknesses in order to tailor her approach. Throughout my training, Nicole was fully present for every moment, offering guidance and support. It goes without saying that her commitment and passion to lead individuals to success is motivating. I’m beyond grateful to have crossed paths with Nicole and highly recommend working with her!! -Jennifer M.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>After setting a goal to run two marathons this year, I quickly realized the value of having a great training plan after working with Nicole. The combination of strength training, variety, and structured workouts helped me take 23 minutes off my previous marathon time, then another 15 minutes off at the NYC Marathon! I couldn’t have done it without Nicole’s guidance and the amazing OTR community. I’m already excited to see what we can accomplish next! -Haley F.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials</image:title>
      <image:caption>I told myself that I would one day run a marathon; but I never thought I’d have the opportunity to run the NYC Marathon as my first one. Nicole was referred to me by two of her past clients who are friends of mine and since knowing Nicole through OTF, I knew she’d be a great coach. Having worked with her the past 6 months, she surpassed what a “great coach” would be. My training plan was set, altered, and reformatted plenty but that was the beauty of working with her. There was never a “one-way” training plan. She listened to my strengths and weaknesses, and we both made sure that the plan was tailored to my training level, even if that meant pushing me out of my comfort zone. I felt incredibly prepared to take on this big race and did not feel undertrained at all. Nicole always reminded me to put in the work but to still have fun doing it. Despite the aches and pains, I’m happy to say that my first ever (NYC) marathon was one of the best days of my life and running has become my safe place! I could not have gotten through this journey without Nicole’s encouragement and coaching! -Tiffany</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I ran the TCS New York City Marathon this past weekend, and I don’t think I’ll ever find the words to explain what it meant to me. In a city that can chew you up any other day of the week, there is one day when the whole city comes together and roots for you to win. Strangers scream your name. People believe in you when you’re struggling to believe in yourself. And somehow, you keep going. It was indescribable. It was life changing. And somewhere across those 26.2 miles, something I once wondered if I could do became something I did. NONE of it could have happened without Coach Nicole! From weekly calls, consistently working with my schedule, motivating me and creating a community with run club and beyond, Coach Nicole gave me more than a plan to run successfully she gave me the love of the sport and a life long passion! Coach Nicole inspired me to believe I could run a marathon and coaching me through every step, from the first day of training to the finish line. You believed in me on the days I doubted myself, and I couldn’t have done this without you. I can’t believe WE did this. And I can’t wait to do it again! If there’s something you’ve been dreaming about but telling yourself you could never do, give yourself the chance to try with Coach Nicole. You deserve to find out how much you’re capable of!!! -Erin M.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Training for and running my first marathon was truly one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Race day was hands down one of the best days I've ever had, but also the hardest thing I've ever done. There were so many moments throughout those 26.2 miles when I was overwhelmed with emotion. From hearing the voice messages my friends and family left me on the Rally app to hearing complete strangers cheering my name and encouraging me along the way, it was unlike anything I've ever experienced. The energy, support, and love throughout NYC were absolutely amazing, and I'll never forget it. I genuinely couldn't have gotten through this experience without Nicole. From day one, she made me feel like I could do this, even when I wasn't so sure myself. As a slower runner, taking on a full marathon was intimidating, but Nicole never made me feel like my pace defined what I was capable of. She gave me the guidance, motivation, and confidence I needed throughout training. She celebrated the good runs with me and was just as encouraging after the tough ones, always reminding me to trust the process and everything I was working toward. One of the biggest things I learned throughout this journey is that I'm capable of so much more than I give myself credit for. Not every run was easy, and race day certainly wasn't either, but I learned to push through the hard moments, trust my training, and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Crossing that finish line, especially in my own backyard of NYC, was a feeling I'll never be able to fully put into words. I'm so proud of what I accomplished and beyond grateful to Nicole for helping me get there. I truly couldn't have asked for a better coach or a better first marathon experience! -Jenna P.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This was my first training block where I stayed injury-free, and I truly credit that to her approach of gradually building mileage and teaching me to listen to my body. Not only did I make it to the start line healthy, but I walked away with a 2-minute marathon PR on a much tougher course! So grateful for her guidance and support throughout the entire process. -Jenna M.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My running journey started in 2024, and just two years later, I completed 26.2 miles and achieved a PR I never thought possible, all thanks to Nicole! Along the way, I learned that marathon training involves so much more than just running. Mental preparation, nutrition, recovery, and balancing training with everyday life all play an important role. Nicole guided me through every part of the process, making a goal that once felt overwhelming feel achievable. She also made sure my training plan worked with my lifestyle, adjusting along the way when needed. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach. Nicole pushed me to believe in what I was capable of and helped me accomplish more than I ever imagined. I’m so grateful for her support every step of the way! -Rachel B.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Thank you so much for your guidance and support throughout my marathon training! I felt so prepared and ready for this race. The Lisbon Marathon was spectacular, and thanks to the training, the race almost felt easy compared to the 12 weeks of prep. I felt so ready that it ended up being the easiest long run I’ve ever done!! -Caroline V.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I first set out to run the New York City Marathon, I was excited, determined, and ready to take on the challenge. There was just one small detail missing: I wasn’t a runner. Working with Nicole completely changed that. From the personalized training plan and structured workouts to the one-on-one support, Nicole was there every step of the way. Training for a marathon is a commitment in itself, but navigating the summer heat, building mileage, working through the tough runs, and preparing both physically and mentally for race day takes an entirely different level of dedication. Having Nicole in my corner made all the difference. What stood out most about working with Nicole was that she didn’t just prepare me physically to run 26.2 miles. She helped me build the confidence to believe I could actually do it. She met me where I was, pushed me when I needed it, and gave me the tools and encouragement to keep showing up, even on the days when it wasn’t easy. By the time race day arrived, I felt genuinely prepared. I wasn’t consumed by whether I could finish; I was able to take in the experience, celebrate the incredible atmosphere, and enjoy running through the streets of New York City, arguably one of the greatest marathon experiences in the world. Crossing that finish line was an incredible feeling, and I owe so much of that experience to Nicole. She helped me turn what once felt like an almost unimaginable goal into something I was physically and mentally ready to accomplish. -Maya S.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials</image:title>
      <image:caption>3 years ago I ran a marathon in Steamboat Springs Colorado and it was the hardest experience of my life. After that race I swore off running and hadn’t run until July 2026. I found Nicole through to be my coach in July for the NYC marathon and was ready to redeem myself. Nicole has been such a fantastic coach and has helped me achieve this goal of running the NYC Marathon in under 5 hours. I don’t think I could’ve done it without her guidance, support, and amazing coaching. -Kerry M.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials</image:title>
      <image:caption>Where do I even begin?! ❤️ From training for my first half marathon to crossing the finish line of four half marathons and now completing my FIRST NYC MARATHON! 26.2 MILES!!!!! Working with Nicole has been about so much more than just running. She’s helped me build strength, confidence, discipline, and mental toughness. Through every training cycle, every long run, and every challenge, her knowledge, guidance, and encouragement have helped me push beyond what I thought I was capable of. Over the past four years, I’ve grown so much, not only as a runner but as an athlete overall. I’m incredibly grateful for the role she’s played in my journey. Going from 13.1 to 26.2 miles is something I’ll always be proud of, and having her guidance along the way made the experience that much more special. If you’re looking for someone who will challenge you, support you, hold you accountable, and genuinely want to see you win, I couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️ -Q T.</image:caption>
