Michelle Leduc
Founder & Head Coach
I believe that there is no such thing a "just running a distance". Every running/walking goal is a worthy goal, whether if it is walking around block, a 5 km jog or a completing a marathon.
I have been running for over 25 years and competing in ultra-distances since 2011. I've raced 100-milers on a variety of terrains—road, trails, mountains, and even on a 400-meter track. In 2020, I was introduced to Fastest Known Times (FKT). Now, my training focuses on adventures where I can put on a pair of sneakers, carry all my supplies in my pack, and go for a nice long solo run.
I am a bit of a movement, physiology and anatomy geek. I love to learn and I have or am working toward the following certifications:
Level 1 Running Coach, Road Runners Club of America
UESCA Certified Running and Ultrarunning Coach
Level 1 McMillan Certified Coach
Run, Jump, Throw – Certified Instructor, National Coaching Certification Program
Club and Sports Coach – In Training, National Coaching Certification Program
