Hi, my name is Steve!

I created the RunBuzz podcast and our PaceBuilders Training Program in 2014 to bring team-based, expert coaching to the running community.

I am a USA Track and Field and RRCA certified running coach. I have been coaching runners since 2012 in both a group and a 1:1 setting.

I have coached hundreds of runners from 5k's to ultramarathons and helped runners of all ages and experience reach their personal best.

My vision for PaceBuilders was to create a team of experts who will surround you and support you every step of the way by integrating running, strength training, nutrition, and a positive athletic mindset into a single, comprehensive training program.

Hi, my name is Serena!

I am a registered dietitian that helps athletes run free from crazy diets while chasing personal records. I am a runner myself and discovered nutrition through my love for running!

I have nutritional sciences degrees from Cornell University and Yale University. I decided to focus on sports nutrition after realizing how radically performance improves when focusing on nutrient timing and optimization.

I blend sports nutrition with intuitive eating practices to help athletes make peace with their diet and their bodies. I truly believe that nothing in the world is better than a good run and a delicious meal and I want everyone to appreciate these simple pleasures in life!

Hi, my name is Cristina!

In 2015, I received a Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Miami. Prior to receiving my doctorate degree, I graduated from New York University with a Bachelors in Nutrition and Dietetics. I am also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)

I have worked with many different patient populations over the years but I have a passion for treating athletes and physically active individuals, especially in the running community.

If you are in the Columbus, Ohio area I can also treat running injuries through my private practice at Fit 4 You Physical Therapy, based in Columbus, Ohio.

Hi, my name is Shawn!

I am an RRCA certified running coach and wife and mother of two teenage daughters.

I always played sports such as soccer, softball, and tennis growing up and in college tried my hand rugby for a season or two. After my daughters were born I decided I needed to lose weight and get healthy to be the best mom I could be. I lost 100lbs over the course of about 8 years. I began going to the gym and exercising as part of my healthy lifestyle.

Since that time I have run countless 5k's, several 10k's, several 10 milers, and 3 half marathons. 

Hi, my name is Cari!

As an RRCA - Level 2 certified running coach and I love all things related to running. Outside of RunBuzz, I am a head coach of a local kids team and I have coached 11 seasons of youth Cross Country.

My passion is helping women train for and complete their first Half or Full Marathon.
I started running in 7th grade and have finished over 150 races of various distances from 5k to 50k, including 11 Marathons.

Through running, I have learned to set and achieve goals, while developing confidence and proving that hard work does pay off. As a coach, I love meeting new people and using my passion to encourage other runners.

Let's get started!
