Bryanna is the best! She has so much knowledge and has helped me do things I never thought I was capable of. She pushes me to achieve my goals in a way that works with my busy schedule.

As I set out to prepare to run my first half-marathon in nearly two decades, I knew I would need help. After years of running and then doing Cross Fit and at age 57, I had experienced a lot of hamstring and sciatica type issues. Thankfully one of my friend’s mentioned running coach Bryanna Urban. What a find! She set me up with weekly runs and exercises and enlightened me along the way in our monthly conversations. There was so much I misunderstood about training for a race. I learned about different types of runs like the Fartlek, and she encouraged me to fuel/eat in different ways before, during and after running. Any time I had a set back of a foot or muscle issue, she was encouraging and suggested alternative training like cycling, and even resting. She followed my Strava account and cheered me along. There’s no doubt that I was as prepared as possible to run 13.1 miles in elevation in Wyoming because of the coaching and care by Bryanna. I wouldn’t want to run a race without her as my coach!

Bryanna is endlessly supportive and so knowledgeable. I have multiple health challenges and she’s terrific about taking them into account and helping me work around them. I used to train hard, now I’m training efficiently. I’m doing more, but not working as hard. Running has become fun!
