Michelle has been involved in the fitness industry since 2010. She has held many certifications starting with Spinning (2010-2018) which led to Group X, Les Mills and Personal Training with Best Fitness. In 2018 she had the certifications expire so she could focus on her running. This is when she joined Nark Running Team.
Michelle has been distance running since 2010. Previously she played basketball, which had her sprinting, and she was afraid of running a mile. After playing basketball, she wanted to stay in shape, so she picked up spinning and decided to try running. She ran her first half marathon in March of 2011 with no training. The most she had run was 4 miles. Rookie mistake. That race is where she found the love for running. Hearing strangers cheer for her and experiencing something she thought she could never do was the best feeling.
Michelle started running competitively and strategically in 2016. She learned about track/speed workouts and running slow on easy days. Here is where she saw the reward and benefits of running smart. As her love grew for the support, so did the interest in nutrition. Through experience she realized the power of nutrition for peak performance.
Stephanie Popovitch began running as a middle school sprinter, but suffered many running-related injuries on and off through high school and college. It wasn't until she started graduate school that she found her passion for endurance running, ran her first half marathon in 2018, and later joined Nark Running Strategies in 2020. She loves running for the physical, mental, and social benefits that it offers. Stephanie has since completed 3 marathons, with a personal best of 2:55:46 in the full, 1:21:56 in the half marathon, and 18:07 in the 5k. Along with being a McMillan certified running coach, Stephanie is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and is able to use her knowledge and personal experiences to help other runners train their best while minimizing injury risk.

““When I committed to running a 1/2 marathon, my first thought was I needed help. Not only with a training plan, but also support from an experienced running professional. Having a history of knee problems I knew injury prevention would be a huge factor in my success.””
