THE RUNNER LAB IS TRAINING FOR LIFE

At The Runner Lab, we focus on helping runners of any age or background train for longevity in sport. We do this by assessing each athlete’s background and creating a tailored plan that considers the whole picture. Together we work as a team to build endurance, strength, and improve mobility. Our goal is to be part of your support system and help you reach your goals in a healthy way.

As a team, we build what’s possible.

ABOUT

Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m a road and ultra runner, a mama to 2 boys, and a coach. With a Spanish father and an American mother, I grew up embracing my mixed-culture. This experience shaped both my approach to life and coaching. People are multi-faceted, made up of all our own unique attributes and experiences. That is how I coach my athletes as well; no two people are the same so no two training plans can be the same.

In my 20s and 30s I had a career in tech, working for Google for 12 years. While still working in tech, I started teaching yoga in 2015. It took me a few more years to eventually make the leap, but I now teach and coach full-time.

With 25 years running experience, I bring a lot of personal knowledge to my coaching practice. I hold UESCA running and ultra coaching certification, a Yoga Alliance-registered yoga teaching certification, and have continuing education in strength, anatomy, and women’s health.

Wherever you want to run

TRAIL.
ROAD.
MOUNTAIN.

Whether you are new to running, aiming for a PR, or want to explore the world of mountain ultras, The Runner Lab will be on your team. With the expert guidance of Coach Nicole, you’ll have the tools and support to pursue any path.

  • "Nicole is fun, adaptable, and supportive! I learn new skills and feel confident working out on my own, even while traveling.”

    — Jessica A.

  • “I feel confident because of her confidence in me. That’s what a good coach does: makes you believe you can do it because you can, while supporting you with wisdom, encouragement, and empowerment. Together, we have fun achieving. My progress and her pride in it make all the difference.”

    — Megan L.

  • "Nicole's training program helped me build structure and rigor to my marathon training. It was tailored around my work schedule, which includes business travel and focused on newer areas for run training which I hadn't done before, such as intervals, tempos and long runs. It was critical in helping me achieve my goal in running my first marathon!”

    — Reid Y.

  • “Nicole’s training was a massive help and without her there was no way I would have been able to do the time I did! Her constant support throughout my marathon training was really amazing and made the entire challenge a lot easier!”
