“I had an exceptional experience being coached by Eliana for my first Ultramarathon. I was most impressed by her personalized approach to my needs. Eliana created a strength plan for me that addressed my specific needs as well as the demands of the race. Most importantly, she worked around my constraints and busy schedule to ensure I had the time for the additional work and coaching. I always felt that she was on-board with my goals and I believe her support was a critical part of my success.”
