"Since starting to work with Caitlin, I have PR'ed in every distance! Her guidance, expertise, and customized training plans helped me far exceed my time goals for both of my goal races last Spring and helped me prepare for my first marathon this past Fall.  Running a marathon is something that I never envisioned myself doing when I started running, but Caitlin's coaching for two half marathons made me feel that I could be successful.  Working with her has not only increased my athletic ability, but my mental toughness as well.  I have never felt more confident in myself as a runner! Caitlin is friendly, approachable, and down to earth.  She takes your individual needs into account when creating your training plan.  Most importantly, she is an excellent listener and checks in regularly to see how you're feeling and responding to training.  Hiring her as my coach is one of the best decisions I have ever made!"  - Melanie Q in PA

“I began working with Caitlin with the hopes of qualifying for the US Olympic Time Trials in the Marathon, and I quickly learned that Caitlin is an incredible coach for 2 main reasons. First, she is knowledgeable about the sport of running and creates smart and effective training plans that are designed to push her athletes to their limits without risking injury. Second (and perhaps most importantly), she is a compassionate and caring coach who genuinely wants to see her athletes succeed. She is thoughtful in her approach, and can be both nurturing and assertive as each situation and athlete requires. It was a true joy to work with her, and I am forever grateful to her for helping me realize my Olympic time trial goal!”  - Jessa V in WI

“I recently passed my Marine Physical Fitness Test with the help of Caitlin. Caitlin is beyond professional, helpful, and always there to push you to be your best. She even made running, an often dreaded activity, become one of the best parts of my day! The lessons that I have learned from her about running will last me a lifetime. I would recommend her as a coach to anyone no matter where they are starting at and what their goal with training is.” - Alex O in IA

“After a couple years away from competitive running due to injury, I wanted to tackle a long-term goal of a BQ marathon, but knew I needed some help. Caitlin clearly has a great deal of knowledge and passion for running and was able to help me reach my potential while keeping my legs healthy, and working around my mountain bike racing circuit. Workouts and training pushed me near my limits, but never past it, and gave me a lot of confidence. I feel like she really believed in me, and that helped me believe in myself again. I'm so proud to say that with her support, I was able to smash my goal (15min off my marathon PR, and 13 under the BQ mark!), even on relatively low mileage throughout my training. I'm so grateful to have been able to work with her, and would recommend her to runners of any ability!” - Katie K in WI

"Caitlin is encouraging, empowering, and very accessible for check-ins and reviewing workouts.  Her positive attitude and absolute belief in me got me doing workouts at paces I never thought possible which led me to PR in every race I've ran since working with Caitlin." - Kristina P in NY

“I met Caitlin at the Cardiff Kook 10K in Encinitas in 2015 and have been a fan ever since.   Her resume speaks for itself!  I knew I wanted to step up my game before my 40th Birthday and she had an opening.  So I had to seize that opportunity.  I have run with other programs before locally, but I knew I needed some personalized coaching to take it further and have someone actually care about me and my progress.  I started working with her in May 2019 with an “A” goal to hit sub 1:50 in a half marathon in the fall.  With her coaching (less some setbacks on my end with a slight injury and flu), I have hit my fastest times prior to my injury and feel confident that I will hit my goal in no time!  Working with her is the best and I am proud to have her as my coach.  We make a good team.” - Jennifer T in CA

"I jumped at the opportunity to have Caitlin as a coach after nearly 2 years away from running. Her knowledge and passion for the sport has kept me injury free throughout the transition back.  As someone who struggles with internal motivation, knowing that Caitlin is holding me accountable but also flexible when life has other priorities, has made asking her to be my coach the best decision I’ve made in a long time." - Emma F in PA

“I reached out to Caitlin when I felt my training had stagnated. I enjoyed running, but wanted to see what my body was capable of doing. Caitlin has helped me to enjoy and achieve more in running more than I ever thought I could. Her workouts are incredibly challenging, but she’s able to keep what seems impossible within reach. I appreciate her timeliness, support, and guidance and have seen my marathon PR improve by 11 minutes and my half marathon PR improve by 3.5 minutes.” - Beth L in AR

 

"Caitlin is friendly, knowledgeable, accessible, and has been an absolute pleasure to work with over the past 6 months.  She has reignited my passion for running and kept me healthy in the process, which is something I struggled with prior to hiring a coach.  Even though I fall into an older age category and don't really have a desire to do competitive races, Caitlin understands and respects that yet somehow still keeps me motivated and excited about every run."  - Rebecca B in CA

“I reached out to Caitlin about coaching after not getting into the Boston Marathon and I knew that I had to reevaluate the way I had previously trained. Caitlin gave me all the tools to go after my running goals…an exceptional training plan with a variety of workouts, consistent encouragement, a positive attitude and patience with all of my questions. All I had to do was trust the process and run. Working with Caitlin helped me go after my last marathon with the perfect mix of confidence and excitement over what I could do that day. I am happy to say I far surpassed what I thought I was capable of and knew that my training, coaching and dedication to Caitlin’s plan made it possible. Having Caitlin as a coach has been the best running decision I’ve made in a long time!” - Arielle S in IL

"Having Caitlin as my coach was the best decision I ever made!  She was so positive and encouraging, especially during the times I needed it most! I have become a stronger runner, physically and mentally and met so many goals I never thought I would."  - Kristin D in WI

“Deciding to work with Caitlin was the best decision I have made for my running. Caitlin provided me with a challenging training plan that allowed me to run a marathon PR that I had been working towards for a long time. Her variety of workouts, excitement for running and encouragement made the training more fun than it had been in years. Caitlin is truly invested in the success of her athletes and it shows. I am excited to continue working towards more PR’s with her!” - Andrea S in WI

“I am very thrilled about my experience with Fearless feet  running. I started working with Coach Caitlin at the start of May 2017. We discussed my history, nutrition, running goals and target races.  She customized my training programs based on the specific races and goals that we set. We stayed on track all year with constant communication. Speed workouts for each week were challenging and really helped with the rest of my runs.  I was previously struggling on combining the speed and endurance on my runs but significantly improved with the help of Caitlin. This year my plan is to do my first marathon and I'm very excited about my training. I gained/learned a lot in my running and have lots of confidence to keep up with everyone. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for rest of the year!!” - Anand A in WI

After falling in love with running a few years ago, I decided to look for a running coach to help me reach my full potential. I'm so glad I found Caitlin, and hiring her as my running coach is one of the best decisions I have made! Following the weekly individualized training plans has enabled me to run personal bests in several distances and to recently run a strong first marathon, while helping me to avoid burnout, injury, and find the right balance between training and recovery. As a busy working mom, sometimes I need to shift things around and Caitlin is always understanding and flexible. I look forward to our regular check-ins as she has so much knowledge about the sport - I have learned so much from her about running, nutrition and fueling, strength training for runners, and race day preparation tips and strategy. I love the accountability of having Cailtin as my coach and the perspective she brings to my running -- to both the great runs and the tough ones! Caitlin is caring and compassionate, and her passion for running is truly infectious. I'm very lucky to have her as a coach, mentor and friend! - Melanie C in PA

I started working with Caitlin to prepare for my first marathon - I had trained for a marathon before but ended up injured and couldn’t race. I wanted to get a coach to help me train conservatively enough to not get injured while fully preparing for the race - and Caitlin did exactly that. She’s super communicative and adjusted my training if something was hurting all while giving me quality workouts to build my fitness and confidence for the race. I got to the starting line healthy and beat my goals for the race and I attribute so much of that to Caitlin’s expert and caring coaching! - Lois M in WI
