Our Coaches
Train with the Best Running Club
Mike Becker
Coach Mike has been a runner for 30+ years and a WCRR member for about 20 years. With 3 marathons and many ½ marathons under his belt, as a coach he brings together his running experience with his love of fast things like auto racing, and perfecting things like working as a software engineer, to helping members be the best runners they can.
Amy Mittelstadt
Coach Amy enjoys the camaraderie that running with a group offers. She cherishes coastal runs, while listening to others share their stories about running and life. WCRR offers an encouraging and supportive atmosphere where runners can explore their potential and pursue the possibilities.
Kat Hampton
Coach Kat has been walking and coaching off-and-on with the group since WCRR’s inception. She likes the excitement and fun that walking and running with a group has to offer. She appreciates coastal and trail routes. Most importantly, Coach Kat loves to listen and interact with others as they share their stories about walking/running, food, races, and life. According to her, WCRR offers an encouraging and supportive atmosphere where walkers can explore their potential and pursue their dreams of running.
Vicki Miller
Coach Vicki joined West Coast Road Runners in 2016 to complete the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Half Marathon. With the support and guidance of WCRR coaches, she achieved an even bigger milestone in 2017: finishing her first full marathon. Vicki has continued to train, grow, and find joy in the camaraderie and spirit of the WCRR community. Now, she's excited to give back as an Assistant Coach for the Vegas pace group, bringing her passion for running, encouragement, and team spirit to help others reach their goals
Denise Mikkonen
Because the WCRR Team encouraged, nudged and supported her to reach her goals, Denise Mikkonen was inspired to coach. As Head Coach for the RB location, Coach Denise loves running side by side with team members while sharing hopes and dreams, and listening and laughing together on morning runs.
