About Strides Training Club
Strides Training Club is athletic coaching built for real life. Off-the-shelf plans and rigid AI apps fail because they don't account for your work, family, or travel. We design human-first training around your actual schedule—turning training from an obligation into the freedom to live healthily.
Our Coaching Philosophy
-
Human-First
You are a person and an athlete. We design training to adapt to your life, stress, and family so fitness enhances your life instead of becoming a burden.
-
Run Your Own Race
Every workout has a purpose designed specifically for you. You'll know how each session equips you to run with perseverance the unique race marked out for your life.
-
Progress, Not Perfection
Missed a week? We don't judge—we adjust. By stripping away the weight of guilt, we adapt your plan to your current reality so one chaotic week never details your journey.

Coach Sami
As an RRCA-certified coach, Boston Marathon finisher, and top-3 Ironman 70.3 age-grouper, I’ve spent years competing across endurance sports and coaching athletes of all ages—from middle school cross country runners and youth swimmers to water polo teams and masters swimmers. Through it all, I’ve learned that athletic success isn't just about race-day outcomes, but about recognizing that we are living and training in the glory days right now. My coaching philosophy is whole-person focused, ensuring training remains sustainable, rewarding, and aligned with your broader life goals. Strides Training Club was born out of a desire among friends to train intentionally, travel to destination races, and build a vibrant community together. From playful warm-up drills to sneakily tough workouts that bring out our best as a team, I use my diverse coaching background to foster connection, elevate performance, and help every runner thrive in every season of life.
