Why Work With a Running Coach?

The difference between training alone and training with expert guidance can be transformative.

📈

Faster Progress

Structured, personalized training plans help you reach your goals more efficiently than generic programs or solo training.

🛡️

Injury Prevention

Expert guidance helps you avoid common training mistakes and overtraining, keeping you healthy and on track toward your goals.

💪

Accountability

Having a coach keeps you motivated and committed, especially during challenging training phases or when life gets busy.

🎯

Personalized Plans

Your training adapts to your unique schedule, fitness level, strengths, and areas for improvement—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

🧠

Expert Knowledge

Benefit from years of coaching experience and proven training methodologies without having to learn through trial and error.

Backed by Science

Research has demonstrated significant improvements in training outcomes when working with a coach or trainer compared to training alone. A comprehensive study published in the Frontiers in Psychology found that coached athletes showed enhanced performance metrics, better adherence to training programs, and improved psychological wellbeing throughout their training cycles.

The study highlighted that personalized coaching not only optimizes physical training adaptations but also provides crucial psychological support, helping athletes navigate challenges and maintain motivation during demanding training periods.

About Break the Wall

Jessica finishing the Chicago Marathon

Meet Jessica

My running journey began in high school as a way to stay in shape for basketball. I quickly found a passion for running and it led to the opportunity to run for a Division 1 college in California. I struggled to reach my full potential and lost my confidence along the way. After a few years away from racing I rediscovered my passion for running in 2012. I have since embraced the world of racing, completing events ranging from the mile to a couple ultramarathons of 100 miles. My most memorable accomplishments include being a two-time Boston Marathon qualifier and achieving a personal best of 2:56 at the Chicago Marathon in 2025.

As a mother, I juggle family life with maintaining my passion for running and helping others. When I’m not running I am likely enjoying a good cup of coffee and spending time with my family. Running is a large part of who I am and I love to share my love of the sport. I look forward to helping you on your journey, no matter the distance.
