About Coach

We’ve coached thousands of Marathoners in New York City. Our athletes include National Championship qualifiers and first time 5kers, and we believe that everybody deserves thoughtful, science-based training. That’s what you’ll find here. Coach Julia was a D1 All American, ACC Champion, NSIC and USATF National Champion, and a Professional Runner with lifetime bests of 15:08 in the 5k and 4:05 in the 1500 (before super shoes!) She has coached at the collegiate, professional, and community levels, and has an MFA in writing from the University of Iowa. She is currently at work on a book about the sublime and sordid world of elite distance running. Coffey was a Collegiate Basketball player and the Fashion Editor at XXL Magazine. He started running late at night as a grounding tool between work and fatherhood, and has since become an iconoclastic leader in the community. His recent projects include writing and directing the short film About the People, acting in Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody, and global modeling campaigns with lululemon. Their coaching is based in Jack Daniels, PhD's groundbreaking research, and grounded in the experience of a combined 39 years of running and coaching. Together, we coach The noname Program!
