MEET THE COACHES
COACH AMANDA
Amanda is a 24-time marathoner, RRCA Level-1 Certified Run Coach, and founder of Wellness in Motion Run Coaching (formerly Amanda Runs Boston Coaching). As a coach and athlete, her motto has always been “Dream Big!” as this saying helped her achieve a BQ (2010) all the way to a OTQ (2:40) and 2x Olympic Trials races.
The sport of running has transformed her both personally and professionally. Once a clinical social worker, she slowly transitioned away from the hospital setting to work with athletes and helping them achieve their fitness goals. Amanda is best known for being an inspirational figure in the New England running scene, and beyond, showing women that they too can dream big and achieve goals never thought possible, particularly after having children. Some of her biggest running achievements, have been in the 2 years after having her son, Riley - running a 2:41 Berlin Marathon (10 months postpartum), 2:42 Boston Marathon (16 months postpartum) and a 1:15 Houston Half Marathon (2 years PP).
Amanda has 8 years experience coaching runners of all levels and abilities towards their biggest goals. A huge part of achieving PRs is overcoming mental barriers to success, which Amanda finds to be her strength as both a competitive athlete herself, and with her background in Psychology, Education and Social Work.
COACH EMILY
Emily was a multi-sport athlete growing up, with a particular love for competitive swimming. She only found running as an adult, as a way to stay in shape during and after college. She trained for her first half marathon the year after she graduated from Boston University, and hasn't looked back!
Over the years, Emily's love for running has grown. She found a running community in Boston in the Heartbreakers, befriending many other runners that supported her goals and understood the challenges along the way. Becoming a member of the Heartbreakers, consistent mental and physical training, and Amanda’s stellar guidance as a coach from 2018 on, led her to many PRs. Most notably, Emily ran a 3:26 marathon in April 2019 to finally qualify for the Boston Marathon — a long-time goal of hers — and ran a 1:32 half PR 5 months later. After a long IVF journey starting in 2021, and the births of her sons in 2022 and 2025 (with three marathons in between!) Emily is back to training postpartum and figuring out her next goal race.
Emily unlocked new potential she didn't realize she had while working with Amanda, and achieved so many goals that felt out of reach. Reflecting on this experience made her realize that she shares the same passion in helping others. For this reason, Emily became a RRCA-certified coach. As your coach, she wants you to fully enjoy the process: the good runs, the bad runs, the runs where you felt like you could continue forever.
COACH LIZ
Liz began running as a teenager, but started out casually and just wanted to get out the door and have fun. In her senior year of college, she trained for and completed her first half marathon, then went on to run her first marathon two years later. Since then she’s completed 12 marathons including a personal best of 2:57. As her passion for running grew, so did her passion for helping others achieve their dreams. Liz became a RRCA Level-1 Certified Run Coach and joined team Wellness in Motion in 2021. She’s helped dozens of runners, from those who just want that little extra push to get out the door to those looking to qualify for the Boston Marathon and beyond.
Liz lives in Philadelphia where she works as a teen dating violence prevention educator at a domestic violence advocacy agency and trains and competes with the Philadelphia Runner Track Club. She’s also coached extensively at the high school level through Students Run Philly Style, a nonprofit organization that pairs public school students with adult mentors with the goal of completing a half or full marathon. As a coach, Liz loves getting to know her runners personally and really understanding their goals and motivations to help them nurture a life-long love of the sport as they grow stronger, faster, and more confident.
COACH KATIE
Since middle school, running has been a constant through every stage of Katie’s life. What began as a way to satisfy her competitive drive quickly became something more—an essential outlet for managing stress and anxiety, building confidence, and supporting a healthy lifestyle. Over time, Katie has come to appreciate how the sport’s inevitable highs and lows shape not only stronger athletes, but more resilient people.
Katie competed in the 800 and mile during track and completed one season of high school cross country. In college, she discovered a love for the half marathon, which remains her favorite distance to race. To date, she has completed nine half marathons, three marathons, and numerous 5K and 10K races. In 2023, Katie began working with Wellness in Motion coach Liz to pursue her lifelong goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon. By April 2025, that dream became a reality—Katie is now both a Boston Marathon qualifier and finisher. Along the journey to Boston, she set personal records in the 5K (19:30), 10K (39:51), and half marathon (1:29:25). A dream that once felt out of reach became achievable through expert coaching and consistent effort.
Inspired by her own experience, Katie went on to earn her RRCA Level 1 coaching certification and now strives to help other athletes reach their goals. As a coach, she is dedicated to meeting athletes where they are while encouraging them to push beyond their comfort zones and discover what they’re truly capable of.
Outside of running, Katie works as a Registered Nurse and has an extensive background in sustainable vegetable farming. When she’s not training, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two dogs, traveling, and savoring great food.
