Stephanie Howe

“As a coach, I believe that no two people are alike. Thus, no two training plans look alike. Each athlete brings a unique blend physical characteristics, genetics, and personality traits to the table. The more information I know, the better coach I can be. I strongly believe that communication is the key to success in developing a good relationship. I’m also an advocate for quality over quantity. I don’t think you have to run 100 miles a week to be a good runner. In fact, sometimes less is more.”
