Your Coach, Dr. Chelsea Matthews

Over the past 9 years, I’ve helped everyone from Olympic hopefuls to 83-year-old runners feel stronger, stay active and reach ambitious running goals.

My journey to helping runners started after chronic pain and injury made me question if I’d ever run again. After reclaiming running (and my stress outlet), it motivated me to help other runners stay strong, healthy and running consistently for decades to come.

Now, I’m bringing my expertise to you with a program that’s designed to fit your life and help you achieve your goals.

    For example, while many online workouts will feel challenging - this doesn’t mean they are actually improving strength or reducing your injury risk as a runner.
