Why on pace coaching?
What sets On Pace coaching apart is our very personal approach, we walk along side of you on this journey. Over the years we have been blessed to help so many people and their feedback has helped us shape who we are today. This includes
- We do not try to rack up the most clients to make the most money. It’s about fewer with exceptional quality.
- We take a small number of clients so that we are truly present, attentive and invested in your goals.
- We are your #1 coach for feedback, encouragement & support.
- We truly get to know you, and what makes you tick. Person first, runner second.
- We take clients who are a fit for our coaching styles and who we feel we can make the best impact with.
- Our prices are lower vs the level & quality of coaching and personal experience clients receive. We approach coaching as a way to share our gifts, not as an income source.
- We never do a “one size fits all”. We coach based on your personal goals and lifestyle.
- We take a holistic approach. It’s not just about physical training, but mental training as well
Why are we called On Pace Coaching?
In late 2016, Carrie was approached by the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon to help coordinate and organize the pacers for their marathon which was set for May 2017. Expecting her fifth child, Carrie followed her heart and said YES thinking she would be able to maintain balance among her personal and professional commitments.
The experience of coordinating the 60 volunteer pacers, pacing the 3:55 full marathon along with her friend Pam Schmitz, the stories from other pacers and the balance that a pacer can bring to a racer was moving. Carrie and her husband Paul committed to forming a pacer community and bringing this type of experience to other races that either struggled to coordinate a strong group of pacers or simply didn’t have this as part of their race day experience.
Already an endurance run coach by a different company name, Carrie rebranded her company to be On Pace Coaching in the summer of 2017 to further support the mission of what On Pace is trying to accomplish.
The core that defines Carrie is reflected in the mission of On Pace Coaching – Stride for Balance. Endurance running is a commitment that won’t happen overnight. Therefore, once a goal has been set, it will affect schedules and other routines. The key in endurance running – and life in general – is to keep things in perspective and balance. May the highs not be too high, the lows not be too low. Following Carrie’s coaching will provide results that are personally tailored to fit within all aspects of your life – not just your running goals. Life is a continual, daily stride for balance and On Pace Coaching exemplifies this desire.
Serenity Prayer "Lord, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."
