WE RUN TO FEEL THINGS. WELCOME.

At Not Just a Phase Running, the goal is to help you fall in love with running. Whether you’re just starting on your fitness journey, returning to running after an absence, or training for a race your friend convinced you to run, we want to make running safe, impactful, and most of all - fun. I want you to keep coming back for more, not just a one-and-done. 

 

If you’re ready to create a sustainable (and enjoyable) running practice, contact Erin to schedule a consultation call.

Welcome

MEET ERIN

Founder and Head Coach

Hi, I’m Erin, the founder and head coach at Not Just a Phase Running. And I hated running for most of my life. I dreaded the mile run my entire childhood. I once skipped a lap of the mile run and faked it because I couldn’t think of anything worse than having to run one more lap around the track. My preferred form of movement during my 20s was “none at all.”

 

Enter a moment of inspiration at the 2022 Chicago Marathon, working a charity team event, and this running-hater signed herself up for the next year’s 26.2. Through a year of hard training, many mistakes, and more skipped runs than I’d like to admit, I slowly found the joy in running. 

 

I am a certified running coach and three-time marathoner. I consider success as a coach to be ensuring that you can — and want — to keep lacing up your shoes and showing up for yourself for the long haul.
