Athlete Testimonials
Kennedi
Marathon and Half Marathon Runner
“Jenna is the best! Her one-on-one approach to coaching provides a tailored training plan that can be completely customized to hit your goals and easily adjusted to find workouts that you actually love doing.
Since starting a new half marathon training plan, I've already seen improvements in both my speed and my confidence. The runs prescribed in two-week microcycles are approachable and easy to follow while still challenging you to find comfort in being uncomfortable (I hear that's where the good gains are). Plus, the bi-weekly check-ins allow me to ask questions, share the ups and downs, and smooth over any upcoming race anxieties.”
