Introducing The Red Devil

 Hey there, runners and aspiring runners!

I'm Coach Kelci, also known as the Red Devil, and I'm here to ignite your passion for running! By day, I navigate the fast-paced world as a busy professional, but when the sun rises (or, let's be honest, before it even thinks about rising!), you'll find me pounding the pavement (or the trail!).

Growing up, athletics were my jam – I bounced around different sports, but running? Never really on my radar. That all changed about 10 years ago. Recovering from surgery and stuck in the gym routine, the treadmill became my warmup and cooldown buddy. Little did I know, those initial jogs would spark a lifelong love affair with running.

Craving a deeper connection to the sport and eager to meet new like-minded peeps, I joined a half marathon training group, and let me tell you, I was hooked!

Here's the thing: I'm a firm believer in a balanced approach. Yes, I'm a runner, but I'm also a busy professional with a "real job". Finding time to train while working (and traveling for work) is never easy but I've figured out the best ways to strike that balance for me. 

My coaching philosophy embodies this balance. I'll meet you wherever you are in your running journey, but like the Red Devil namesake, I'll also push you to reach beyond your perceived limits. Let's be honest, some days you might want to strangle me, but trust me, the results will be worth it!

Speaking of results, I'm on a mission to conquer a race in every state, with the half marathon holding a special place in my heart. From the thrill of the road to the adventure of the trail, I embrace the diversity that running offers.

Ready to unleash your inner Red Devil? Stay tuned for upcoming posts packed with training tips, motivational fuel, and a healthy dose of tough love (because let's face it, pushing your limits can be uncomfortable – but oh so rewarding!). In the meantime, drop me a line and let's chat about your running goals!

See you on the road (or trail!),

Coach Red
