Run Coach Mary Wirtz
I'm Mary, a registered dietitian, a certified personal trainer and certified V.O2 run coach. I have been fortunate to work in clinical and wellness nutrition, in addition to working with athletes.
I've been a long-standing distance runner after realizing the only part about softball I enjoyed was running the bases. I was a 3-time All-American in cross country and track and field at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Clare. I ran in the 2020 Houston Marathon in 2:44 and qualified and completed in the 2020 US Olympic Marathon trials.
You can find me chasing after my two little girls when I am not running or working. I also enjoy spending time perfecting sourdough recipes, cake decorating, reading for pleasure, biking, hiking, and pretty much anything outdoors. I embrace an all-foods-fit approach to nutrition and am overwhelmingly passionate about helping athletes fuel for training and life.
