Testimonials
Tessa, Manhattan
“Kara has consistently made the impossible possible. I started working with Kara to simply ease back into running again, post-Covid. It made all the difference, having someone to hold me accountable and get me over that initial hump. What gives Kara an advantage as a running coach is that she became a runner later in life. Training advice from someone who did not grow up running competitively carries a little extra wisdom in my book. The fact that she has become the incredible runner that she is, crushing PRs left and right, only deepens her value to me as a running coach and mentor. I can't recommend her enough.”
Suzy, Manhattan
“I worked with Kara and Rerouted Running for 5 months through two half marathons and four other races and had a great experience! I have not been able to run a half marathon injury free in almost ten years, so that was a major victory for me. The plans she creates are comprehensive and realistic. I felt like I pushed myself, but never felt overtaxed, overly fatigued, or like I didn't have enough time in the day to complete my workout. Her consistent help, and positive attitude make her a joy to work with.”
Alyssa, Brooklyn
“I've never felt more confident going into a half marathon after training with Kara! Having her support, guidance, and expertise throughout the process -from the gait check to pre and post-race check-ins, she kept me accountable. I'm a better, and stronger, runner because of this training, and I know I wouldn't have done nearly as well without her plan. I fell in love with running again!”
Alyssa, Rochester
“I wanted to get back into running again but I wasn't sure where to start. That's when I found Kara and Rerouted Running! We worked together to come up with a plan that would help me achieve my running goals that worked with my crazy life schedule. I truly believe that the constant communication and accountability checks is a big reason I shaved more than 30 minutes off my half-marathon time. I have gone through 2 races and off-season training with Rerouted and I can’t wait to get into race number 3. I owe big thanks to Kara for lighting that running fire in me again!”
Nic, Brooklyn
"Since I started running seriously, I’d train by pushing myself to my limits - I had willpower but no strategy. Kara gave me a plan that was easy to execute. We focused on form, patience, and moderation. Then a hot spring day, I crushed my half-marathon PR by 2:13. I was prepared and Kara was ready for me, jumping and cheering for me as I sailed by at Mile 12.”
Justine, Manhattan
“I love working with Kara! She is very reliable and communicative, and she was able to adjust my plan due to injury, which was invaluable. I ultimately pulled out of the marathon due to an injury and Kara’s support during that decision making process is what sets her apart from other coaches. She was so supportive mentally and emotionally, which had nothing to do with my training plan and it really showed me her dedication to her clients.”
Cristina, Nashville
“I found Rerouted via Instagram last year when I was in need of a running coach to help guide me through training for my first ever full marathon. I was a complete beginner and had barely any racing experience. Kara immediately agreed to work with me and within a day we had a phone call set up and a training plan ready. After our first phone call together I knew I had met my perfect match! In the last year I have not only become significantly faster but have seen a huge improvement in my mental and physical strength as well. Working 1 on 1 with Kara has been life-changing and I cannot wait to continue my running journey with her!”
Martina, Queens
"I’ve worked with 2 other coaches in the past, but nobody has ever understood their athlete’s minds and hearts the way that Kara does. Her love for running, her connection to people, and her knowledge in sports science makes her a standout, and an absolute joy to work with. She challenges you to see running differently depending on where you’re at - removing junk mileage, focusing on quality, enhancing volume appropriately. She also sees and plays to everyone’s strengths, ensuring that their plans will allow them to have small victories along the way, to continuously motivate. ”
