I'm an NCCP Club trained and VDOT certified run coach. I've coached high-school XC and distance athletes in-person and currently athletes of all ages and abilities online. I particularly enjoy working with runners who are goal-oriented while balancing other work-life responsibilities. I prefer to focus on effort-based running and building fitness versus specific numbers, using the watch as background data.
PB's (in case you are looking for similar): sub-20 5k, 40 min 10k, 68 minute 10-miler, 93 minute half-marathon and a 3:26 marathon. I ran varsity cross-country during my undergrad and have a personal love for running in nature, trails or anywhere away from traffic :)

Adjusts things to where you are at in your running journey. Constantly makes sure your plan fits what you need and where you need it. Very impressed. Very nice and personable. Answers questions very thoroughly. Descriptions on each workout out are very well done. Comments after workouts that leave me feeling great about what I did on the workout and ready for the next one. You can tell she cares and that is really refreshing. I highly recommend

She regularly communicates, checks in, adjusts, and is just truly an awesome coach! I've used her through VDOT here for almost a year now - I've had ZERO injuries, many gains, someone to chat to who gets it, and the stability of knowing my training is in experienced hands at a price that (honest to god) cannot be beat! I prefer running solo, but Jenn will make you feel like you are not alone! She conveys mindfulness and peacefulness, and you will thoroughly enjoy your training (I mean, aside from hellish days... But she'll get you through those with a smile in the end somehow!)
If you're on the fence? Don't be - sign up now!
You'll be in amazing hands! !
