About Jillian

I'm Jillian, the owner & founder of Rise & Reign LLC. I have been in sports since I could walk. In high school, I found my passion for running and never looked back! In college, I proudly ran as a Zip for The University of Akron and enjoyed every second. Since moving on from high school and collegiate running, I have added new types of fitness into my routine - CrossFit & Peloton. I am constantly trying to be the best version of myself and love the rush of chasing after a goal. It has brought so much joy to share experiences with others and help them meet their goals. Nothing makes me happier than supporting others and watching them succeed! ​ Highlights: Boston Marathon Qualifier (x3) & Finisher (x2) NCAA Division 1 Cross Country & Track and Field Student-Athlete at The University of Akron 2011-2015 CrossFit North American Quarterfinals Competitor 2021 Project Management Professional (PMP) Certified Personal Bests: 5k - 17:28 6k - 22:00 10k - 43:03 ​Half Marathon - 1:31:05 Marathon - 3:21:02 Testimonials: "Working with Jillian has been a great experience. whether you are looking to chase a PR or just want to start getting into running she can help you get there! she is an accountability partner, encourager, and someone who understands life happens and sometimes plans have to change. She is always reaching out and providing great feedback. I am a few weeks out from my second marathon and feeling extremely confident and prepared thanks to Jillian!" -Matt, Marathon Client "Working with Jillian has changed my perception of running. I initially got into marathon racing to do something I’ve never done before and to push myself, now it’s changed my life. Running has become something I love. I started out on my own, kind of winging it, and after talking with a fellow runner and being filled in on what they were doing, I instantly volunteered to work with Jillian. Jillian and I met through CrossFit and after learning about her collegiate background (and just recently crushing the Boston Marathon) I didn’t even hesitate to put ALL my trust in her to guide me and build me up as a future ultra-runner (MCM 50K) and someday, an Ironman Athlete. Anyone can be a coach; anyone can teach you, but to have a coach to work with that is 100% bought into you as a person and obviously as an athlete. She’s more than just my endurance coach, she’s become a great friend and mentor. You won’t regret working with her to get after your dreams." - Ben, Marathon & 50k Client
