Ana H.

I have experience coaching athletes of all ages and abilities. I've worked with middle school students exploring running for the first time, national champion high school programs, and athletes training for a half marathon or their first 5k. I have coached cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track in New York and Massachusetts and am experienced in distance, middle distance, sprints, and jumps events.

I have been a competitive runner since age 12. In high school, I ran for Saratoga Springs High School in New York, was a three-time All American in track, and helped our program win several state titles during my tenure. I went on to run four years of varsity cross country and track and field at Tufts University in Massachusetts, where our XC team earned multiple top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships.

My training progressions vary according to your running experience and the goals you want to achieve. A young middle distance runner and a first-time half marathoner need quite different things. I try to include endurance, strength, and speed in every workout. A typical session includes a warmup, dynamic stretching and drills, a primary workout tailored to your race distance, and core strengthening. We always work hard and we always have fun.
