**Uncover what’s truly possible both on the trail and beyond.**

You’re already out there running the long miles—committed, determined, and no stranger to hard work. But maybe you want more: deeper accountability, greater confidence, expert guidance to elevate your journey.

That’s exactly why I coach. As a certified Ultra Running and Nutrition coach, I work with athletes 45 and up who’ve earned their miles and are ready to write their new chapter. Because endurance isn’t just about pace—it’s about purpose, resilience, and redefining what age can mean. At Own Your Endurance, I don’t just coach—I walk beside you with heart, intention, and deep respect for your journey.

Drawing on science, personal experience, and the hard-won wisdom of countless miles, I’m with you every step of the way. Coaching with me goes beyond a training plan—it’s about cultivating mental strength, purposeful fueling, and creating structure that fits your life, not fights it. Together, we’ll push boundaries, reshape your story, and uncover what’s truly possible both on the trail and beyond.

“After having done multiple marathons on my own, Laura did a great job helping me train for my first 50 mile Ultra. She helped me understand the critical differences in training approach for a race of that length while being flexible to my individual training needs. Without her, I would have just been winging it.”

— Andy, 2025 Marine Corp Marathon, Cloudland Canyon 50 miler
“Laura Saponar is one of my favorite athletes that I have worked with. Incredible spirit, work ethic, and ability to set goals and then meet those goals.” “Proud of her Javelina -100 2023 completion!”

— Laura’s former CTS Coach, Duncan Callahan
"Laura helped me train for my first marathon. I’d never raced before, but I had a solid base of weekly mileage. She built a plan that fit my hectic work schedule and introduced me to interval training, hill repeats, and proper fueling strategies. Her guidance made the difference—I felt prepared, confident, and strong on race day."

— Mary B, New York City Marathoner
“Laura is extremely passionate about running and the process and puts just as much effort into the athletes she works with. She does a great job balancing meeting people where they are at, while also challenge their fitness levels. Thanks to her, I have grown personally and as an athlete as a result of her training.”

— Gessica, Marathoner in Training
“Laura Saponar’s coaching style has had a profound impact on my performance for decades. She is defined by a unique combination of unwavering presence and a relentless drive for execution. No matter the challenge, she is always there, engaged, providing support with hands-on coaching that is both direct and inspiring!"

— Jerry, Colleague

Meet the Coach

For over 30 years, I’ve coached, raced, and lived the runner’s journey. I started running at age 13 with high school cross country, continued in college, and completed 15+ marathons across my 20s, 30s, and 40s—all while working full-time as an executive in the financial services industry, raising two children, navigating through life's messy middle, and coaching youth sports.

At 52, I laced up for my first ultra—and every mile since has affirmed what I now know deep in my bones: age is no barrier to running, growth, or achieving any dream you set your mind to.
