Who loves ya baby…
Denise and I began running together ten years ago, with the training schedule for the Vancouver Sun Run (first session, walk 5 minute, walk 1 minute!) Since then I have watched her transform, through determination, passion, and enthusiasm into one of the top mid-distance runners in her age class, as well as an inspiring running coach and mentor. – Alison
I signed up for a running clinic training for a 10km with Coach Denise. Over the couple month training period I learned from Denise to enjoy the hills, go for speed once in a while and commit to frequency. Denise doesn’t just “walk the talk” of a runner, she runs it with enthusiasm, joy and fun. I attribute Denise’s encouragement and support to the rejuvenation of my running. – Justine
Denise is so patient. Even with an old injured runner like myself. Meet new and old friends for a run or run walk then chill over coffee and the best Nanaimo bar in town – Susanne, Nanaimo
We really enjoyed the run. It was a great way to get a workout in, learn about some local history and get to experience a Nanaimo Bar. We thought the meeting place was convenient, the cost was very reasonable and the distance was appropriate – Joseph and Katie, Seattle
