Whether you’re running your first 5K or chasing a marathon PR, you’ll get expert guidance, structure, and accountability without the burnout or guesswork.

Hello! I’m Melissa, a running coach who believes that running should build confidence, not comparison. I’ve worked with runners of all levels from brand-new beginners to athletes chasing their next PR and the truth is, confidence doesn’t come from running faster or farther. It comes from showing up, even when it’s hard, and realizing you’re capable of doing more than you thought.
With my background in Personal Training, Health and Nutrition Coaching, and Run Coaching, I help you find a balanced, sustainable way to train that fits your life, not the other way around.
My coaching philosophy is simple: small, consistent steps that lead to big, lasting results. Whether your goal is to run your first 5K or cross the marathon finish line stronger than ever, I’ll help you get there with structure, support, and confidence that grows stronger with every run.

TESTIMONIALS
“Melissa Matheson is an exceptionally gifted running coach.
As a first-time marathoner, I had no idea what I was getting into. All I knew was that I needed help. Melissa is very knowledgeable, experienced, encouraging, and above all, a great person. I WOULD NOT have finished without her guidance. Her program paid for itself immediately with her tailored training program, weekly calls, and help overcoming a number of ailments through targeted exercises. I ran pain free for the first time in many years. She’s also a nutritionist and has a variety of resources for any situation. I lost 34 lbs, pushed myself further than I ever thought possible, and finished my first marathon. Melissa made that possible and I owe this transformative life event to her!”
