Upon sign up for online or on-site running programs (after initial online consultation), you will receive contact and a picture/bio from your assigned coach in addition to constant communication from the head coach. If you sign up for our online running program only, we will try to pair you up with other HyperX Runners in your area (Nationwide Over 300). 

I am a committed Coach that is passionate about performance and discipline, with decades of helping clients of all ages improve to their highest level of performance possible. As a current Masters All-American runner over 50, I not only understand the dedication required to reach peak performance at any age, but also the unique needs and challenges that come with running as we age. My approach focuses on proven training methods with a deep understanding of recovery, injury prevention, and maintaining motivation. I coach with a focus on individualized plans, whether you’re training for a local 5k, tackling a marathon, or simply looking to become a better, healthier runner.”
