What Sean is saying about Accelerate…

I worked with Heike this year over a six-month period in which I ran the Eugene Half Marathon, the McKenzie River 50k Trail Run, the Butte-to-Butte 10k run, and the upcoming Hood To Coast Relay. I had never worked one-on-one with a coach before and did not know what to expect.

Heike and I met in March or April, and she explained her process and asked me a ton of questions about my running history, goals, current fitness, and any injuries I was working through; we had a long conversation about these things, and more. The first meeting was great as it helped me understand that Heike was curious about my running and me as a person.

After that, she began recommending workouts for me, which I started to follow. Heike would also text me and ask how running and weight training went or how I was feeling, nudging me with recommendations, so I did not overtrain. She listened to my concerns throughout the process and adapted my workouts to where I was physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Working with Heike has provided me with an excellent foundation for building fitness, which I am actively doing. I can’t recommend her enough to those individuals curious about what it is like to have a coach, but also what it is like to have a coach who truly listens and cares.
