About Bridget

Bridget started running and racing while in university. This was such a positive experience that it influenced her future career choice of physiotherapy.

My Coaching Philosophy

When a coach creates a sustainable plan, it helps the athlete stay consistent with their training and see personal improvement, which serves to motivate the athlete for future training blocks.

Interview

  • Favourite race type and why?

    The 5k – not too long, not too short, just right!

  • Favourite post-workout treat or go-to place?

    Any type of baked good with chocolate, and pickles!

  • Favourite running podcast, website, book, videos, or blog?

    The documentary Transcend by Michael Del Monte – a film so inspiring, you will run a personal best after watching it. The books Let Your Mind Run by Deanna Kastor and Once a Runner by John L. Parker Jr.

  • Favourite part about coaching with M2M?

    Creating a community of happy and healthy people. And of course, Dylan’s jokes!

  • What got you into running?

    I started going for runs with my dad as a way to spend time together. Once running had become a part of my daily routine, one day in university I was running laps on the indoor track and Doug (the track coach at U of C) saw me and invited me to come try out for the varsity team. I owe my start in track and field to Doug!
