Chasing Your Running Goals: How a Coach Can Get You There (and What Happens if You’re Not There Yet)

Every runner has a goal. Maybe it’s running your first 5K without walking. Maybe it’s finally qualifying for Boston after years of trying. Or maybe it’s just finding a consistent routine after life knocked you off track. Runners have goals…

Top 10 Podcast Episodes from The Wrinkled Runner

Our little series on The Wrinkled Runner Top 10 finishes today with the most popular podcast episodes. Watching this little world develop over the last few years, along with my knowledge about running and my training has been a real…

I’m Sherry, a 56 year-old runner (hence the wrinkled!) who has gone from running as exercise to loving the sport. I started around 17 years ago when a magazine article proclaimed that in your 40’s its “Welcome to back fat”! I took a look and lo and behold...there it was!! I determined then to lose 30 pounds and thus started my running “journey”...or torture. At first I could walk a mile, run a mile, walk a mile and gradually (verrrrry gradually) worked up to a half marathon.

I have now completed 3 marathons and 6 half marathons. I talk about my training, and also share the things I am learning as I go along. I have found so many helpful resources as I explore and grow as a runner and can't wait to pass them on to you!

I am a mom to 5 children (all married) and grandma (Nani) of 7. My partner in everything is my husband of 36 years, Dave.

I also have a YouTube channel, and Podcast.

In 2019 I attended a RRCA Coaching Certification course and successfully completed the steps to become a run coach. The main reason I did this was to learn more about running and how to set up my own training and to have confidence about the information I am providing on this website and on YouTube.

Although my passion is running, I am also a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. When I coach, I add strength training specifically for running. I also provide Personal Training services for those who are not runners. Check out my Coaching Services if you are interested.
