Marina Holter

Founder & Lead Coach

Marina Holter is a Chicago-based RRCA Level II Running Coach, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach who is passionate about mindful endurance training. From an early age, running became more than just a habit—it was a source of discipline, resilience, and self-connection. Through triumphs and setbacks, running has remained a constant, shaping her journey as an athlete and a coach.

COACHING EXPERIENCE & BACKGROUND

Two years ago, Marina transitioned from a hospitality career to full-time run coaching. She founded Marina & the Rest, an LLC that supported over 100 athletes, from first-time 5K runners to ultramarathoners. As an IFS-informed coach, she integrates mindfulness, movement, and structured training to help runners develop physically and mentally.

Inner Lane is the next evolution of her coaching philosophy. It expands opportunities to collaborate with other coaches, support a wider community of runners, and continue to redefine endurance coaching through a holistic approach.

WHY TRAIN WITH INNER LANE?

Marina’s coaching philosophy is rooted in mindfulness, movement, and science-backed endurance training. Whether preparing for a marathon or half-marathon or building endurance for a new distance, Inner Lane provides custom training plans, strength programming, and mental coaching to help you reach your full potential.
