Carb loading is one of the most misunderstood parts of race preparation.

Eating one giant pasta dinner the night before isn’t enough. Effective carb loading starts 2–3 days before race day by increasing carbohydrate intake to maximize glycogen stores and delay fatigue.

Whether you’re racing a marathon, ultra, triathlon, or a long hike, proper fueling can make the difference between fading late and finishing strong.

AI can write captions, build training plans, and answer questions in seconds.

But it can’t celebrate your first mile with you.
It can’t stand at the finish line when you accomplish something you never thought possible.
It can’t understand what it’s like to balance training with work, kids, injuries, and real life.

Real coaching isn’t just information—it’s connection, accountability, encouragement, and experience.

Technology is a great tool. But people will always matter more.

Choose the coach who knows your name, believes in you on the hard days, and celebrates every victory alongside you.

Because real people make the biggest difference. ❤️

If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.

It's important to have support and confidence, and that is what you will gain with me as your coach. I want to get you to the finish line of your goals and beyond. Let's talk!

Meet your coach.

I’m Erika Aukerman—wife, mom of three amazing girls, full-time professional, and ultra runner.

I know what it’s like to balance work, family, and training because I live it every day.

I’ve learned that success in endurance sports isn’t about having unlimited time, it’s about having the right plan and staying consistent.

From first-time runners to experienced ultramarathon athletes, I love helping people discover what they’re truly capable of.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Let’s build a plan that fits your life and helps you reach goals you never thought possible.

I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

At Aukerman Endurance, I believe fitness is life. It allows you to have a life worth living, not just existing. I coach everyone from everyday athletes looking to become healthier and stronger to runners chasing ambitious endurance goals, including ultramarathons of 100 miles and beyond.

If you have a body, you are an athlete. Every athlete deserves a plan that’s built specifically for them—not a one-size-fits-all boring program.

Maybe you spend your days carrying around your toddler.
Maybe you want to win your local 5k.
Maybe you are going on a long back country hunt.
Maybe you've never ran a mile in your life!

No matter where you’re starting, I’m here to help you take the next step.

Ready to see what you’re capable of? Let’s get to work.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

Strength isn’t just for the gym — it’s what gets you to the finish. Lifting heavy builds the durability that race day demands. Train smart, go far. Built for more. Link in bio.

Huge thank you to The Laurel Highlands Center for inviting us in today to test out their new equipment! Go check them out! If you’re serious about your training, here’s why this stuff matters:

VO2 Max — the ceiling for how much oxygen your body can use during hard effort. One of the best predictors of endurance performance, and it tells us exactly where your aerobic engine stands right now.

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) — shows exactly how many calories your body burns at rest, so fueling and training load are based on real numbers, not guesswork.

DEXA (body composition) — the real breakdown of lean mass, fat, and bone density, way more accurate than a scale, and it helps catch imbalances before they turn into injuries.

Testing takes the guesswork out of training.
