Sarah Richardson, M.S., M.Ed. is a certified distance running coach through RRCA and Chi Walking/Chi Running Instructor through Chi Living. She is an outdoor enthusiast, world traveler, and Racecation facilitator. Her business, Rise And Shine, designs custom training programs that provide the external components in-volved with running and fully address the emotional and internal components that have trapped frustrated runners in yo-yo training cycles. Sarah knows that running brings joy to life, and knows the hard work it takes to get back into the sport. After a four-year hiatus from running due to an injury, she found herself frustrated and fed up at her inconsistency and lack of commitment to the sport. Now back to running multiple distance races per year in different places around the world, Sarah has made it her life's work to help struggling runners find the daily discipline to take back their power and honor their runner within. Sarah lives and trains in Vermont, and is happily married to her husband Mike.
