About Jan

My goal is to share my passion for health and vitality, helping others live their BEST lives.

My love for running and health has transcended into a dedication and commitment to helping others achieve their running and health goals, leading and inspiring by example, while listening and guiding through conversation and empowerment

Coaching Philosophy

My philosophy of “Train Smarter, Not Harder,” an integration of heart rate training into my athletes’ plans, and an approach to training that emphasizes proper development through periodization, as well as consideration of ALL aspects of life and their impact on performance, have helped many to break through performance plateaus, remain injury free, and make running a lifelong pursuit!
