About Jenna

Growing up I played every sport I could, later going on to play D1 college soccer at the University of Illinois. In 2012, I captained the team to a Big Ten Championship. After a short stint of professional soccer, I went into working full-time, but quickly realized that just going to work every day and working out without a goal to achieve didn't properly fuel my competitive juices. That's when I found a love for running and triathlon. I am a 5x Ironman including qualifying and competing in the Kona World Championships, several-time ultramarathon podium finisher, and marathoner.

Coaching Philosophy

Most people entering the endurance races don’t have the know-how to train for and successfully complete the race while staying injury free, and there are a lot of unknowns for them going into the race. The fear of the unknown and probability of failing is high (some races can have 40% completion rates). I provide a personalized training plan built specifically for YOU that includes not just the running plan (or swim/bike/run for triathletes) but strength training as well as race and nutrition strategies to be confident that you will be successful when you’re toeing that start line and stay injury-free throughout the training program.
