Hi! I'm Coach Tori! I graduated high school as a 2x Pennsylvania State Champ in the 3200m and was offered a scholarship to run at Penn State University. During my time there, I became an All-American in the 3,000m Steeplechase, a 2x Big Ten Champion in the 3000m and 5000m, and held school records in the mile and 1,000m. I've also competed in 4 U.S Track and Field Championships.

After graduating college in 2017, I moved to Boston and signed a professional running contract with Reebok. Shortly thereafter, the Reebok Boston Track Club was formed and I moved down to Charlottesville, VA to train with my team full time. I've been here ever since!

PERSONAL BESTS:
Mile: 4:32
3K: 8:54
3K Steeplechase: 9:45
5K: 15:43

COACHING & EDUCATION BACKGROUND:

While I was in Boston, I was an assistant distance coach at Watertown Highschool and this helped me realize that I had a passion for coaching.  In Charlottesville, I am an instructor at Formula Complete Fitness (@formula_complete_fitness). Formula is a treadmill studio that provides tempo/interval running, functional strength, and flexibility.

I graduated from Penn State with a Bachelor's degree in Biobehavioral Health. My major focused on behavior/emotions and how that relates to biological processes. My background is what drives my holistic approach to running and training. By considering the mind and body, and their effect on each other, we can take a complete view of your health and optimize your training for your specific goals. Additionally, I am studying to earn my Nutrition Coaching Certificate.  I have a passion for helping people be their best selves. Let me help you achieve your goals!
