About
about me
Hi, I’m Sara Farny, the coach behind SoleMates Coaching. Besides being a wife and mom to 3 boys, I'm a RRCA certified running coach. I have loved helping people of all ages and abilities reach their own running goals throughout my 10 years of coaching experience. Running became a passion of mine after the birth of my first son over 15 years ago. That quickly turned to coaching at a local YMCA to give back to the program that gave so much to me. That lead to a job coaching kids at the junior high level, adults on an individual basis, and helping Fishers Running Club as their club coach.
With countless 5ks, 10ks, half and full marathon races on both trails and road I have gained lots of experience throughout the years. I am a 2-time Boston Qualifying runner and ran my first Boston in 2024. I have run 5 ultra marathons and in 2025 became a 100 mile backyard ultra finisher at the Prairie on Fire race in Indiana.
solemates history
SoleMates Coaching was founded in 2022 by Tracie Nebrich and Sara Farny, two friends who had a passion for running that turned into a passion for coaching after meeting through a local YMCA running program. For three years they helped people achieve their running goals of qualifying for Boston, running their first ultra, running new PRs, and finding a love for running. In 2025, Tracie went on to pursue other new adventures while Sara stayed on and continues coaching through SoleMates.
