Resistance training boosts sport performance
It should come as little surprise that different sports require us to move and adapt in varied ways. In addition to whatever cardio and cardio cross-training makes the most sense for your sport, it is essential to train your muscles and nervous system to support you and react appropriately as you scale up in distance, volume or speed.
Fundamentals of strength training
Strength training begins with a foundation of stability and muscle activation: only when everything is aligned and moving well can we perform at our best. This is important even if you consider yourself a non-athlete, since a solid, well-activated foundation is essential for everyday movement and reducing your risk of injury.
Schedule an in-person session and receive one-on-one support specific to your body and your sport.
**Flexible virtual training options + programming available.
Meet your coach
Jillian
I love coaching and training athletes. Sports push us to our mental and physical limits and there is so much to learn about ourselves in this process.
I have been an athlete my entire life (three sports in high school, NCAA division two basketball) and I am thrilled to have found endurance sports in adulthood. Running is my absolute favorite. I welcome the challenge cycling and swimming brings, most days (ha!).
I compete in triathlon at the Olympic and Ironman 70.3 distance, as well as running races in the 10K-half marathon distance (including trail and road). A run career highlight was my first successful completion of the Pikes Peak Ascent (2010).
As a coach, I consider it a privilege and a duty to provide well-rounded programming and focused education of my athletes around all of the moving pieces that equate to successful training. This includes specific and periodized training, a focus on nutrition, as well as rest and recovery.
I am certified as a UESCA Endurance Run Coach and have my BA in Kinesiology, in addition to various movement and fitness accreditations from ACE, USA Weightlifting and Yoga Alliance.
Testimonials

"I had a personal best at the Vancouver half marathon by almost five minutes. I never thought that kind of progress was possible."
I worked with Jillian recently as my running coach to train for a half marathon, and for nutrition counseling. Her nutrition guidance was top-notch. She is up-to-date on current research and uses a comprehensive approach to nutrition, emphasizing the importance of healthy, nutrient-rich food, of course, but also explaining how sleep, stress and other life factors can affect your health. Her nutrition and life recommendations were thoughtful, realistic, sustainable, and targeted to my active lifestyle.
As a running coach, Jillian is the best. I have run several half marathons before, and always just found a training plan online, but never worked with a coach. Wow – what a difference having a coach and a tailored training plan makes! I had a personal best at the Vancouver half marathon by almost five minutes. I never thought that kind of progress was possible.
Jillian’s workouts were challenging but doable. She incorporated cross-training and rest days and was so fun, down-to-earth and easy to work with. When I didn’t think I could do some of the harder workouts, she told me I absolutely could, and she was right. I pushed myself beyond my comfort zone and grew as a runner. I never would have done that on my own.
Jillian can coach anyone from the newest runner to the elite athlete. She knows her stuff, wants you to succeed, and celebrates your successes right along with you. I have already signed up to work with her again for my next race!

"If you are an endurance runner, or any kind of endurance athlete, hire her immediately."
I have worked with Jillian for the last 18 months. As an endurance runner (distances of 100 miles+), I need to be able to trust my team to make sure my body, mind and spirit stay healthy for the long-haul. Jillian's brilliance around strength work, training blocks, and nutrition, as well as her intentional focus on the mind/heart connection for athletes, has allowed me to reach goals I never thought possible. If you are an endurance runner, or any kind of endurance athlete, hire her immediately. She is incredible!
