Testimonials

I had Erin as a coach to help train for my first marathon (Chicago 2019). Although I have been a runner for many years, I had no idea how to train for a marathon. My experience with Erin was fantastic. As a single parent, sometimes my training plan did not always go as planned. Erin always helped me navigate this, and never made me feel like I was not doing enough if I had to miss a run. She worked my training plan around my life and busy schedule, and around all of the obstacles that arrived. I ran a half marathon in between, had a PB on that race, and crossed the finish line to my first marathon in Chicago with her help. Erin (and LTM) are not just coaches that give out training plans. They are real women passionate about this sport, and about helping you reach your running goals.

I’ve been a LTM athlete for over 4 years. I started when I was looking to shave a few minutes off my time at the Disney Princess Half Marathon, which turned into running a marathon, and then qualifying for and running the Boston Marathon! Coach Janet has helped me achieve so much while keeping me running healthy, because I want to be running for a very long time! Since joining LTM, I’ve gotten many personal bests, but best of all is this incredible community that I am so proud to be a part of.

Without hesitation, I absolutely recommend Love Training More for your running goals. After one marathon didn’t go as planned, I reached out to Erin that same day to ask for help. She was incredibly patient as she taught me so much about everything related to running (e.g., programming a Garmin, rest days, Stava, building-up, burn-out, holding back, shake-outs, intervals, recoveries, race day prep, tangents, etc…) over a series of weeks and months. She was very kind and straight-forward about what I was doing correctly and wrong, and more importantly, how to improve or fix it. Working with her, I earned two consecutive personal bests, including a Boston Qualifier on a very challenging marathon course. As a Mi’kmaw runner, I felt comfortable, safe, and beyond welcomed to Love Training More. She has used Love Training More to work towards Peace and Friendship and Truth and Reconciliation, which demonstrates to me that they are more than just running coaches. They’re wonderful and incredible women.

Erin is everything and anything you would want in a coach & role model: inclusive, wise, fierce, understanding, flexible, patient, an exceptional athlete and more! She listens to you goals and will individualize training to meet your needs. She makes sure your training plan considers family, work, strength training, other sports, vacations and whatever else impacts your life. She carefully reads our training logs and takes all the bumps in the road you encounters and adapts or pivots your training plan (she will even bench you if needed). She has allowed this senior master runner to explore her limits, attain PBs and to persevere. Above all, Erin is a superb human being who cares about you and what you want to achieve.
