MEET YOUR COACH!
A.K Whittaker (EMAIL)
A.K. Whittaker is a mom and athlete, passionate about her family, fitness, and especially running! She now has 10 years of experience in the fitness industry that began with a part time job at her local YMCA as a group fitness instructor. Within a year that part time job grew into an passionate full time career as a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach.
In the last 10 years A.K. has completed more than 10 Full Marathons, more Half Marathons than she can count, two IRONMAN 70.3’s, and literally hundreds of 5 and 10Ks. By 2020, Racing almost every weekend had become a lifestyle for A.K.
However, A.K. Whittaker is no stranger to adversity. In 2018 while running a marathon in Washington , A.K. was hit with a life threatening medical condition that landed her in the hospital for 13 days with a long recovery in front of her. As she finally was able to begin her running career again after several months of physical therapy- she was nominated for a Humans of HOKA award which she received in January 2020. A.K. believes in redemption, second chances, and working hard to achieve your dreams. Most importantly A.K. has lived the magic of what movement can do for your soul, whether it is walking, jogging, or running.
The credentials that A.K. Whittaker brings to the table as our Running Coach are numerous but she titles her name with: Run Coach, Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, Rossiter, and USA Weightlifting Level Two Coach.
A.K. Whittaker’s biggest running dream is to complete all six Abbots World Marathons. With three under her belt, Boston in 2018, NYC in 2019, and Chicago in 2022. She is now working toward London 2025 for Abbots Marathon number four. She is working towards her dream to someday complete Tokyo, and Berlin. Training looks a little different right now for A.K. than it did two years ago-she has always had to juggle being a mom and an athlete- but she now has a beautiful toddler. Training with a postpartum body has been a major adjustment, but as A.K. says, “there is magic in movement, and I will ALWAYS embrace that gift!
