"Hello, and thank you for your interest in the EZ8 Running Coach Program!

What is now an international success, first began as a little 8-week running program for a small group of women in Orange County, CA. These women wanted some additional exercise one year, during those holiday months between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.

As a personal trainer and group fitness instructor with experience and a passion for running, I designed this running program. It was initially created for a group of middle-aged women who ran an average of a 10 - 11 minute mile and had the desire to run an eight-minute mile; thus the name, “easy eight.” The EZ8 Running Program was such a success that the women requested for it to continue.

I did continue the program, and with huge success. I began attracting women from all over the county! I soon found I had a group of diverse women varying in age, race, economical status, and fitness levels, yet all sharing one common passion...running.

I was able to create an environment and help bring together a very tight and devoted group of women who were reaching their fitness goals, and having fun doing it. The encouragement and devotion these women show to one another is both touching and empowering. I have been so moved and blessed by what was intended to be something so simple and short-lived. Because of the success I have found, and the empowerment this program has given to so many...I want to now give to other fitness professionals, so they may now share in this. I look forward to coaching you towards a very successful EZ8 Coaching Business"
