Your running mindset coach for the everyday runner.
Say hello to Coach G!
Growing up, I was the kid that always avoided movement. As a teen, I would regularly bail on PE classes because I didn’t want my hair and make-up to get messed up with sweat! During my twenties, my inactivity continued, choosing to do a weekend marathon DVD boxset rather than getting outside and moving my body. Combined with my inactivity, I was also eating garbage but was in complete denial about how bad it was.
It wasn’t until I moved to Canada in 2014 that my love for movement started – but gosh it was messy!
I had absolutely no clue what I was doing.
Injuries were a constant.
Exhaustion and I were BFFs after each run.
And don’t even get me started on knowing about hill training, or eating during a run, or foam rolling, or what shoes were best for me, or what gear to wear, or what LSD meant.
I knew absolutely nothing – nada!
Not only did I have no clue what I was doing, I also had zero belief in myself. My trickster brain was constantly telling me I was too slow, that I wouldn’t be able to achieve the paces or distances on my plan, and, well, on and on old trickster brain went.
At the time I had no idea that it didn’t need to be this constant mental & physical battle.
Knowing what I know now, I needed a running coach.
Not only a running coach, but a coach that could support me with shhhhh’ing my inner critic and help me sort out my pre-, during, and post-run fueling.
My mission is to help runners reclaim their running story - whether that’s taking their first step, finding joy in regular movement, or breaking through mental or physical barriers to reach new goals.
My mission is to help runners, like you, go after their running dreams and see what is actually possible.
As your running mindset coach, I am here to support you in every way you need to help you get to the start line of your dream race start feeling calm and confident.
Are you ready to reclaim your runner identity even as you navigate demanding work and life, and become the runner you used to be (or always wanted to be) with control, clarity and aligned mindset?
What CAN you achieve with support, knowledge & accountability of a coach that makes achieving your goals a fun and stress-free reality?
So let me ask you this:
There are a lot of running coaches out there, and sure, you could pick any number of them.
Here’s how I stand apart:
As your mindset strategist I build the inner architecture of your runner identity; as your momentum guide I create the structure, accountability and mindset shift; and as your coach I tailor every step so you feel supported, seen and unstoppable.

Christina hadn’t run in years but wanted to get consistent with running 3 times a week and build up to a 5k distance.
” I gained confidence, motivation, and dedication to my runs. Gillian has always been great at motivating me and keeping my goal in sight. Having to send in my results after my solo runs provided me with accountability which is something that I lack when not with a coach!”
