It's Not Luck, We Train For This

Coleen Shaw-Voeks, She/Her

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 grew up in Colorado with an ultrarunning father and spent countless hours listening to training talk, being dragged to races and hanging out in running stores as a child.  She chose the 2 wheeled life for many years and raced both road and mountain bikes in college.  Once she moved to KC, the running gene reared it’s head and she never looked back. She spends many hours a week getting lost on our local trail system and loves to travel all over the country running races in new and diverse areas.   As of this writing she has finished 11 100 mile races including Leadville and Western States and finished countless other ultra distance races.

She loves coaching runners of all abilities, teaching all levels of fitness classes and helping clients set goals and then smash them.  Getting her coaching certification from RRCA in 2010 was only the start of the journey towards helping runners. Lydiard, group exercise, Crossfit Endurance, personal training, UESCA and pilates certifications have followed in the years since then, and all contribute to her creating personalized coaching programs that are complete, well rounded and tailored to ensure her athletes have fun, succeed and remain healthy and injury free. 

Accomplishments: Coleen has completed 11 100+ miles races including Western States and Leadville + hundreds of shorter ultra distances over the years
