Live Well.Finish Strong.

After years of struggling with an unhealthy work-life balance, I reached a point where I felt weak, exhausted, and discouraged. Wanting to make a change, I started running each morning, even though at first I could barely make it around the block. As I slowly improved, I reached out to Bree Lambert-Sanders for guidance on building fitness in a structured and sustainable way.

Bree created personalized training plans that balanced harder workouts with recovery days while also incorporating strength training to help prevent injury. Just as importantly, she introduced me to a positive local running community that completely shifted my mindset and outlook on life.

With Bree’s encouragement and coaching, I accomplished goals I once thought were impossible. I completed a 50km trail race, later ran 53 miles on my 53rd birthday, and eventually qualified for the Boston Marathon after years of dedicated work. Bree paced me during my qualifying race and continued supporting me through setbacks, injuries, and doubts along the way.

Beyond running, Bree also helped me improve my nutrition, daily habits, and overall approach to health. Through her coaching, I found balance, confidence, discipline, and a healthier life both physically and mentally.

Working with Bree was an incredible opportunity to learn from someone with a deep background in endurance and ultrarunning, backed by an impressive list of podium finishes and achievements. Before connecting with her I had zero running experience, but through her in-person sessions and thoughtfully designed training plans, I was able to build up to completing my first 25K trail race—something I never would have imagined possible. Along the way, she shared invaluable insights on pacing, fueling, and physical and mental prep. I’m truly grateful for Bree’s guidance. She’s an inspiration!

I worked with Bree for about a year and it was such a positive experience! I came to her with a goal of wanting to run across the country all while having virtually zero running background. While that goal might have been intimidating for some, she never showed any signs of doubt, and was positive from the beginning. She worked with me to build a solid foundation and then some; I was able to successfully get faster and stronger without any injury because of her attention to detail of where I was mentally and physically each week.

Bree is knowledgeable, informative, and invests the time to get to know each of her clients- she cares. I made it across the country in my goal time of 90 days and it was definitely with the help of Bree’s coaching- giving me the running legs and body I needed to make it.

Yesterday at a session with my coach, she had me do some short relaxed runs out and back about 25 yards. First time she just had me run like I normally do and she pointed out that I need to get those knees up. She said try again and this time cross your arms across your chest then run back with your arms down. Going out with arms crossed I noticed I seem to be twisting my upper body slightly to the right. She said try it again with your arms crossed both out and back and concentrate on form.

This time I went out and noticed right away that I had lots of power and good form on my left side, but the right side especially my right Glut had no power at all, just lagging, felt like having a flat tire. I told the coach I’ve got a flat tire and explained what I meant. Found the right glut was weak and my arms and the rest of my right side and leg was trying to compensate for it.

It was literally like driving a car with a tire going down. I would never have figured this out without a coach. Now I have a weak area to focus on and get working, and the value of having a great coach. Thanks coach Bree Lambert-Sanders
