You’re ready to hit new goals in your races
You’ve plateaued in your recent races and are looking to take things to the next level
You’re ready for a customized training plan and support
You’re ready to train SMART with proper training that will get you results
You need structure/a plan to hit your goals you KNOW are possible
You’ve been burnt out and want to fall in love with running again
I help runners run smarter, stronger, faster and healthier by taking a holistic approach to training and running. I build training plans that consider YOUR season of life (married, kids, traveling, high-stress job, etc.), life stressors, short-term goals and long-term goals. Each training plan is different from athlete to athlete and also from training cycle to training cycle. The holistic approach that I take is my favorite part of coaching and is what sets how I coach apart from other run coaches. There are amazing run coaches all across the country and world, but the majority of them will only mention these other training aspects – they won’t actually address them. I also offer life coaching, nutrition coaching and strength training programs separate from run coaching services.

Here’s what others have shared about their experiences in working with Jaci:
“Jaci is the absolute best running coach I have ever worked with, but she is so much more than a running coach. She makes you feel like you are her only athlete, even though she has a full roster of athletes. Her level of positivity and encouragement make you feel like you can take on any challenge and be successful. She believes in you even when you don’t believe in yourself. Her holistic approach to running is far above any other coaching program I have ever done. Not only does she program running workouts based on your individual ability and needs, she includes mobility, strength, mindset and whole health aspects to your program as well. She truly provides the full package when it comes to helping you become a better runner and achieve your goals.”
“Jaci has been amazing from the start. Jaci has been instrumental in my progress, not only as a runner, but as a strong, well-rounded athlete. She is always available by text and will change my workouts to better suit where I’m at physically, in case of unexpected injury, illness, or just fatigue from a long week at work. She is super encouraging and never makes me feel inadequate, which my previous running coach did. With her guidance and support, I have avoided injury, learned to like strength training, and feel motivated to try for harder or longer races.”
“I’m so happy that I purchased Coach Jaci’s 12 week off season plan! It helped me safely increase my mileage and I never have to think about what I’m doing. I don’t race, so I like to repeat certain phases as I see fit. Since finding Coach Jaci, I have learned SO much in regards to running, fueling, and even sleep and mindset! Running has become much more enjoyable because of everything I’ve learned.”
“When coach Jaci says she incorporates ALL THE THINGS, this what she means… she will give you a goal distance, indicate where your HR should be, tell you to fuel (before & after), look at how many hours of sleep you get AND work strength training into your week! So you can literally just run… She’s an incredible sweet person but if you run too fast/too much/go off script, she will tell you (in the nicest way possible) that every run she programs is for a specific reason..so follow it lol.”
“Jaci was my coach for a 6 hour ultra race and helped me feel so prepared for my race not only physically, but also mentally. I followed her plan and coaching and had a great race. It is clear that Jaci has a lot of experience as a running coach, and also has the perfect personality to coach her runners by encouraging them and motivating them. I loved working with Jaci and highly recommend her!”
“Jaci prepared me to run my first half marathon in 10 years. She taught me the importance of variability in my training to improve both speed and stamina. I had been doing the same thing and not getting results. Jaci’s program made me a stronger, faster runner, and I was fully ready for race day!”
“Working with Jaci was extremely helpful. I really appreciated the balance between strength training and running. Jaci is so encouraging with every run.”
“Coach Jaci is really good at what she does. Simply put, I know I am in good hands with her training, and for me, that let’s me relax and enjoy the training.”
BUT WHAT IF I’M IN BETWEEN TRAINING CYCLES?
I’VE GOT YOU THERE TOO! OFF-SEASON WORK IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES!
RUNNING GOALS AND PRS ARE NOT MADE IN THE COUPLE MONTHS LEADING UP TO YOUR RACE. They are made in the off-season.
THAT’S the power of off-season training. It sets you up for success and it gets you excited for the next training cycle/goal.

Have a question about how run coaching works?
The premium and premium plus plans offer higher levels of support than the basic plan. Changes cannot be made to the basic plan without adjustment costs.
Nutrition, strength, mobility, sleep, mindset, mental strength, life stress, fuel/hydration on the run, etc. – “ALL THE THINGS” that factor into your training/running – I don’t just focus on the runs. There is so much MORE to running than just the runs.
Training Peaks is a software program used to plan out your workouts, and track your progress. As a coach, Training Peaks gives me the data to analyze your workout and customize your training plan. Read more about Training Peaks here: TrainingPeaks.com/athlete-features
If you haven’t used Training Peaks before, I will send you instructions on what type of account you need & how to get it set up properly.
I will customize your training for your race & specific goals – be that 5K, marathon or anything in between.
With the Premium and Premium Plus plans, form of communication is up to you – most clients prefer text, others prefer Facebook Messenger or the GroupMe app. You are able to ask any and all questions! Form of communication for the Basic plan is text or email.
It depends on the athlete and on the coaching tier (Basic, Premium, Premium Plus). I have athletes who I talk to daily based on their desired communication level, I have athletes who want one check in a week, I have athletes who want to be checked in with after runs, and everyone in between. It’s about what YOU want and your needs/desires!
Unlimited changes can be made to the Premium and Premium Plus plans. Adjustments can be made to the Basic plan at additional costs.
I love to interact with my athletes. I take a well-rounded approach to training – we aren’t just going to focus on running, we will focus on ALL THE THINGS (see description above in FAQ). I believe (and have learned the hard way) that rest is ESSENTIAL and sleep needs to be a priority – sleep impacts everything and it’s when the majority of your recovery takes place – so I incorporate at least one rest day per week into every plan (let’s talk individually if you are a run streaker). And it depends on your goals and level of training, but in general we will follow the 80/20 rule to running.
This time is for you – we can discuss anything that you would like! We usually discuss how training is going, dive deeper into any area that you need help or clarification with, and answer any questions that may be better answered over a call versus text. As we get closer to race day we will discuss strategy for pacing, hydration, fueling, etc.

my story
MY TRANSFORMATION
I haven’t always been a runner. I haven’t always been fast. I haven’t always been lean.
I took up running 6 years ago because I wanted to lose weight. I thought running was the answer. Turns out it isn’t. Running does NOTHING for weight loss – at least not for me. It just makes me HUNGRIER! So then, I thought I should eat less, especially carbs. I wasn’t seeing any results so I went back to eating carbs and counting calories on and off. I would lose and gain the same 5lbs and wasn’t getting any better at running.
The secret? You have to do the work!
- I cleaned up my nutrition
- I started eating MORE
- I focused on QUALITY of food
- I changed my MINDSET about food
- I started FUELING my body for PERFORMANCE
- I implemented STRENGTH TRAINING for runners
- I focused on SELF_CARE
- I stretched and foam rolled
- I SLEPT
- I started EATING TO RUN
I focused on what I COULD CONTROL! I did ALL THE THINGS! The little things are BIG THINGS!
The most important thing? NUTRITION!
That’s when the changes started happening. That’s when I started seeing results. I changed my mindset and prioritized NUTRITION. I felt the ENERGY that it gave me. And I still do! I feel absolutely AMAZING!
BUT please note that knowledge is NOT power. APPLIED knowledge IS power! You can know EVERYTHING there is to know, but if you do not apply it, it does you no good. You actually have to DO THE WORK.
And that’s what I’m here to do – to hold you accountable and help you get results!
