MEET YOUR COACH: BEKAH OLSON (EMAIL)
I have been running consistently for about 16 years. I started running because after losing 35 lbs through diet and walking, I needed a way to burn more calories in a shorter period of time; as a mom I was chasing three little girls around and didn't have time for my workout to take all day! My first race was a sprint distance triathlon. I had absolutely no idea of what I was doing, but I got hooked. I did one triathlon a year for several years until I decided to try a half marathon. I really found my happy place in running, and over the years as my kids have gotten older, I have dedicated more time and energy to the sport. I discovered that I really love doing speed workouts and running with other people! I have run many half marathons and in the last seven years, and 8 marathons including the 2019 and 2021 Boston Marathon and the 2022 Chicago Marathon (which have been the coolest experiences ever!).
I am an ACE Fitness Personal Trainer and RRCA Certified Running Coach, over the last 8 years I worked with many first-time exercisers through the YMCA and Fleet Feet . In 2018, I started coaching the running training groups at Fleet Feet in Louisville, KY. I have coached runners from Couch to 5k to half and full marathons. At Fleet Feet Tacoma, I coach our Ignite! 5K and our distance groups. I love talking with runners and chatting about all things running!
Bekah also works at our Tacoma store!
