ANDREA RICE, Associate Certified Coach (ACC)

Group Run Coaching

At Startline, we teach people to start to run and to keep running- JOYFULLY.  Whether you are lacing up for your first 5k or you’re looking to push yourself to new distances, we believe in you. Running is simple, but it certainly isn’t easy!.  Through our run clinics, we not only teach functional skills (the how to run), we offer holistic approach and teach runners, quite literally, everything they need to successfully start (and keep) running.  We can’t wait to see you on the startline!

Coaching Philosophy

  • Mindfulness

    How you do anything is how you do everything. Cultivating awareness of how we’re showing up helps forward momentum, in running and in life. Present moment awareness is where its at (literally). We support you to understand how your inner dialogue is impacting life as you know it,

  • Intention

    Life will have its challenges, as will running. Understanding WHY you’re doing anything, how your values support the goal and how what you’ve taken on fuels your purpose keeps you going. We support you to understand your why,

  • Momentum

    Startlines of any sort (running, new jobs, new life events) are exciting…and sometime daunting. We support you in creating momentum to START and KEEP going. One foot in front of the other takes you anywhere and we believe in you!

  • Community

    Simply put, its better together. Holding hands with the support of a coach and a group of people working towards their goals and dreams alongside one another is inspiring and supportive. We create a community of support that will help you fro start to finish- in running and whatever goals you’re pursuing!

WHAT DOES A COACH DO?

Simply put, a coach helps you identify the thing or things that might be in the way to support you in taking steps towards your goals and dreams.

In running, we help you start. We support you to build a foundation and knowledge of running so you can start and keep running. Of course we provide a training plan to support you to increase distance and time in running, but we also talk about things like the mental, emotional and spiritual side of running. We can support to you learn about the gear you might need to run, help you pick “right sized” running goals, and get you set up with information about running shoes, proper nutrution and hydration for running, the importance of recovery and rest.
