Meet Your Coaches

Certified running coaches, race directors and dedicated glitter throwers.

COLEEN SHAW-VOEKS

Coleen is a lifetime lover of all things outdoors and energetic, and she can often be found running in the woods like a squirrel on crack. She loves coaching runners of all abilities, teaching all levels of fitness and Pilates classes and helping clients set goals and then smash them. Coleen grew up in an ultra running household and has always known that the marathon is merely a starting point for many runners. Once she stopped fighting against her inborn ability to run long and accepted her love of running ultra distances, her path in life became clear. Getting her coaching certification from RRCA was only the start of the journey towards helping create strong, healthy and complete runners. Strength training, pilates and yoga are all key pillars in being a complete athlete. You don’t have to be a runner to work out at PEKC, you don’t even have to like running but you will find Coleen teaching many runner focused classes and workshops and you may find a new appreciation for running. She is also available for private coaching and personal training.

Leia Anderson

If you can’t find Leia she’s probably running in the woods. She’s a mother runner who loves ultra-marathons; having completed two hundred milers, one 48hr race, and a smattering of shorter distances. She thinks training is at least as fun as racing. Passionate about fitness as a lifestyle, she likes finding training schedules that work best for each person. Leia is also very community oriented, knowing that a support system can be a huge part of reaching personal goals, she likes to help people find a home in the running community. Watching people achieve things they didn’t know they could do is her jam, and she’ll meet you at the finish with lots of glitter!
