They Run

Leia is a certified running coach and ultra runner in the Kansas City area.  They’re trans/non-binary, a parent to two magical littles, and co-own Second Best Coffee with the love of their life.  Movement and endurance have been integral to their mental health.  Running has been a space where they’ve been able to quiet their mind and body.  They’ve completed eight 100 mile or longer runs with a current distance pr of 176.5 miles.  While they’ve run many trail ultras that they’ve loved around the country, timed races hold a special place in their heart and they will be leaning into that style of running for the 2025 season.  

“I love working with people who are invested in the process and whose goals expand beyond pace and mileage; runners, who may struggle to call themselves runners, people who struggle to find the time to train, or work on their feet a lot.  I love when people are it in for the long game.  The process drives the training and joy is a priority.  I love when I can play a small part in helping someone surprise themselves with how strong they really are.”

Because I worked to get the pieces pf paper I’ll list them.  Lyddiard I & 2, UESCA ultra-running, GGS coaching, GGS pre-postnatal
