I am a certified RRCA coach + Chi Running Instructor in Oklahoma but I work with athletes all around the world! My primary focus is on Masters + Menopausal athletes, however, I enjoy connecting with runners of all abilities, celebrating their victories, and helping them achieve their best through coaching + workshops. It is my goal to not only help brand new runners finish their first 5k, but for veteran athletes to reach their goals, while remaining strong + healthy. www.instagram.com/Coach.croft hustle-eat-thrive.myshopify.com/ https://www.nativewomenrunning.com
