Novice runner meets tenured coach. Ruth quickly helped me work through issues I was having with my shoes and orthotics, and in the process rebuilt my confidence as a runner. She has a great ability to adapt her coaching on the fly and explain things in ways she can clearly see you understand. Her knowledge, patience, and encouragement made a real difference—and I’m running stronger and more confidently because of it.

I have worked with Ruth of Perkins Coaching for 10 years. During that time she has gotten me to the start line of every marathon I signed up for (15 marathons), even when I've experienced stress fractures during the build. It is not out of the ordinary to face injuries as runners and she finds creative ways to keep your fitness up while being temporarily sidelined from running. Ruth keeps training fun by prescribing different types of workouts. She also stays in constant communication with her athletes and plans fun activiti... read more
