Hi! I’m coach Bethany B!
After experiencing a devastating injury just days before my first half marathon, I have made it my mission to help other runners succeed in their races or simply feel good as they continue to regularly run!
I strive to help runners train, cross-train, and recovery properly in order to help students feel healthy, confident, and ready to take on their runs!

“I had the pleasure of working with Bethany for the 2025 Chicago Marathon and it was an unforgettable experience. From the start I was a little hesitant working with a remote Running Coach, but that soon changed. Bethany was top-notch, she was always available via text or a quick video session, she was able to get me through some setbacks with her platform of videos and her wealth of knowledge. I can honestly say that without her I don’t think I would have been able to complete my first marathon. Bethany & The Ultimate Runner Studio is 5 Star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More...

Working with Bethany has been a fantastic experience this training season. I’m a fairly seasoned runner and had previously used the Runna app for training guidance. When I experienced a terrible half marathon that spring (legs felt dead, I couldn’t keep paces I’d been running in training, etc.) I knew I needed an actual coach who could help me improve my training regimen to get me across the finish line feeling strong. Fast forward to this fall, I completed my 9th half marathon with Bethany’s guidance. During this time, she not only helped me refine my training regimen, got me across the finish line feeling amazing, but she also helped me navigate a hip injury. I honestly don’t think I could have done it without her. She’s kind, responsive, knowledgeable and quick to change course as needed. If you’re looking for an actual coach, not some AI generated algorithm/training program, don’t hesitate to contact her! You won’t regret it! More...

Finding Bethany and choosing her to be my run coach was one of THE BEST decisions I have ever made. She helped me train for my first full marathon. I decided to hire a coach after a few training cycles of train, injury/pain, push through, race, rest, repeat. I knew I did not want that this time around. I needed to break that cycle. Bethany was going to help me do that and boy did she have her work cut out for her, but she never gave up on me! Bethany is truly invested in her athletes. Everything is personalized. As a working full time mom of 2 young kids she made my training realistic. She held me accountable, but also gets that plans need to be adaptable. I was able to complete my first full marathon despite multiple set backs in my training. Bethany made sure I was able to cross that finish line without pain! I am forever grateful for her and look forward to continuing future training with her to continue to build on my abilities as a runner. More...

Bethany was incredible! I was a first time marathon runner and had no idea what training would entail or what to expect on marathon day. She helped me work through everything, from running 6 miles to running 26.2+ happily and healthy. I looked forward to our weekly check in calls and will miss speaking to her now that my marathon journey is complete. She it kind, motivating, and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend working with Bethany for any running training, whether it’s a marathon or a shorter race! More...

Working with Bethany was such a great experience. I had so much back and hip pain while running and working out in general. She took the time to assess my strengths and weaknesses every week during our meetings. All of the videos target specific areas and I can without a doubt say they helped tremendously in achieving my goals. I was able to achieve distances and speed I didn’t think was going to be possible because of my body. I would Highly recommend her to anybody that deals various ailments and pain on a daily. One of the best investments and decisions I’ve made. More...

Doing the Ultimate Runner membership was one of the best investments I have ever made. I have been running marathons since 2017 and have researched all the best ways to train. Every year, I’ve struggled with knee and joint pain, and always have felt I could run better if only my joints were stronger. I frequented the chiropractor and tried to listen to my body. Every year I felt more trained but always had the same time of 5 hours. Bethany changed my running experience completely! Not only was her plan personally curated to fit me, she also made adjustments for me along the way so I never felt like I was pushing myself harder than I needed to. Her MFR knowledge, recovery flows, and strengthening flows were the real game changers for me. Throughout my training with Fit Flow Yoga, my knees were the strongest they have ever been! Even my chiropractor told me I could stop coming because everything in my body was aligned and strong. Bethany pinpointed the muscles and joints I need to strengthen and gave me the perfect flows. With Fit Flow Yogas training plan, I was able to shave 42 minutes off of my marathon time! I know I owe it to Bethany. Bethany is knowledgable, supportive, and has empowered me to continue my running journey for years to come! More...
How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
I use a unique combination of running, strength and mobility based yoga classes, and more gentle yoga and self myofascial release rolling techniques for recovery. This combination of knowledge allows me to assess where you’re feeling pain, associate those pains to specific muscles, use myofascial release to release the current pain you’re feeling, and pair targeted strength to the specific muscles to prevent the pain from coming back. Not all pain is the same and different exercises benefit different types of pain. For example, not all knee pain is the same: inner knee, knee cap, lateral knee pain, and pain above the knee.
What do you love most about your job?
I absolutely love being able to help people feel good as they do the sport they love. It may sound corny, but making a difference in people’s lives and improving their quality of life when it comes to running, is why I do what I do.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I got into running coaching and pairing yoga and self-myofascial release and I fell victim to an overuse injury after training for my first half-marathon. I knew that there had to be another way to train where I was working towards my goals and preventing injuries at the same time. From here, my passion was born and my business started.
Why should our clients choose you?
I primarily focus on helping runners either overcome existing injuries or prevent future injuries from coming on. I know what it feels like to have to drop out of a race due to an injury. Because of that, Ive spent hundreds of hours on research and continued education to help create a program rocused on injury prevention.
