Hey there! I’m Christine Parizo. I originally created Run Out of the Box as a running blog because I love to run, then decided to earn some credentials so I could get better at running and training:

• ACTION Certificate in Personal Training
• ACTION Advanced Nutrition Certification
• Rev02lution Running Coach Certification

Now, I offer virtual run coaching and personal training programs for beginning to intermediate runners, and I specialize in working with women. Whether you want to improve your marathon time or run your first 5K, I can help you get stronger, faster, and fitter.

I love running and have completed one full marathon, about 16 half marathons, and too many 5Ks and 10Ks to count. But when I started running, I could barely go for more than a minute. I also love CrossFit and strength training. If you head over to my blog, it’s the intersection of running and CrossFit, my two favorite ways to keep moving and keep active.

Even if we don’t work together, I hope that I can inspire you to be a fitter, healthier, and happier version of yourself. I’m your average suburban mom when I’m not working out, deep in the throes of my day job as a content marketing writer. I live in the Houston area.
