Coach Miki McConaha


Hello there! I'm thrilled to be joining you on your running/adventure journey.

     I am a wife and a mother of 3 wonderful children and 3 dogs.  Not only am I a run coach but am also a high school science teacher. I've been passionately involved in running since 2013, taking part in a variety of races ranging from 5Ks to marathons. However, in 2020 I discovered my love for trail running. Starting with the challenging Leadville Marathon, I've since completed multiple 50Ks and multiple 100-mile races. My son also took on the challenge of running the Leadville Heavy Half and later the Creede 100!  

     Among my proudest accomplishments to date are completing both the Leadville Trail 100 and the Run Rabbit Run 100 within a single month. These experiences have taught me the importance of setting audacious, yet attainable goals.

     As a certified Ultra-Running coach with UESCA, I possess the knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm necessary to take your dreams to the next level. Together, we will not only fine-tune your running skills, but also focus on the mental toughness needed to accomplish your goal.

     My other passion is the great outdoors! I am an avid hiker and backpacker! I have climbed 51 of the 58 14ers here in Colorado. Climbing to the top of the mountain is a sight worth striving for!  Some of my all time favorite mountains are Snowmass, Mt. of the Holy Cross, and Maroon/North Maroon via the Bells Traverse. The Lower Muley Twist Trail in Capitol Reef, UT was breathtaking!

     So, whether you aspire to complete your first 50K or tackle a longer running challenge, improve your performance, or climb to the top of a mountain, I am here to guide you. Let's work together to transform your limits into awe-inspiring milestones!

Looking forward to partnering with you,
Miki McConaha
