I am Jen Heller, a passionate ultrarunner with over a decade of running experience. My journey into ultrarunning has been incredibly fulfilling, and it has fueled my desire to help others achieve their own running aspirations. My background in social services has instilled in me a deep commitment to helping others, which naturally transitioned into my role as a running coach. In 2021, I became a certified ultrarunning coach through the United Endurance Sports Coaching Academy (UESCA). My dedication to continuous learning led me to earn a certification in nutrition from the National Academ

I believe that effective coaching is not just about creating a training plan; it’s about tailoring that plan to fit each athlete’s unique needs and circumstances. My approach incorporates personalized training plans and mental strategies to ensure comprehensive support. I emphasize cycle training for women, which provides significant benefits often overlooked in traditional training plans. My goal is to be a supportive presence through the highs and lows of training, offering timely communication and accountability. I thrive on maintaining strong communication with my athletes, ensuring I respond within 24 hours whenever possible. Together, we will work towards your running goals with a plan that adapts to your life, providing the motivation and reassurance you need to succeed. Let's get you ready for your next race!
