Meet sarah knapp

Hi, I’m Sarah.

My love for running started at a very young age. My mom says I started running shortly after I learned to walk. I was always chasing after our family dogs and cats, playing tag with our sheep, or running to catch falling leaves from the trees. By the time I was 8 years old I had already started running competitively. I loved how free I felt when I ran. I competed in many road races, cross country races, and track meets from elementary school through college. I won races, set school records, and had a lot of fun running. I had amazing races that felt easy, and I had hard races that made me feel like running was one of the hardest things I’d ever done. I’ve had races that made me cry with tears of pain, and tears of joy. Along the way I’ve had many amazing coaches, and some not so amazing coaches too. I have coached myself and many friends and family members for decades, and now I’m here to help coach you! My thirty + years of competitive running experience has resulted in a lot of wisdom about how to connect-with your body to achieve whatever wins you’re aiming for. Whether it’s just personal wins you’re after, or big races, my goal as a running coach is to inspire you to find the JOY in running. Running as a sport can be fun, and a great way to challenge yourself—but I find the spirit of running to be the most important part of running. When you connect with that, you truly FLY.
