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 coach.
Not only a running coach, but a coach that could support me with shhhhh’ing old trickster brain and help me sort out my fueling.
My mission is to help runners, like you, go after their running dreams and see what is possible.

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!”
