About Jenny

I am an occupational therapist, turned full time running coach and I am a competitive trail and ultra runner. I love and have completed races up to the 100 mile distance and traveled to races to experience various types of terrain. I love the challenge of training for races with varying types of terrain throughout the different seasons and across the years and seeing physiological responses to my own training with my coach. Outside of the individual coaching, another priority is facilitating a sense of belonging and community in the team of athletes I work with.

Coaching Philosophy

Coaching should focus on the individual both as an athlete and considering the other meaningful areas of life. My coaching is rooted in evidence based practice and applying the newest science to each individual's training. I believe there is more to running than simply getting the miles done and thoughtful training that elevates the entire person is key to long term growth, success, and enjoyment in the sport. I enjoy working towards the physical development and building skills for the psychological aspects of racing as well as ensuring recovery and fun are priorities along the way.
