Ayla G.

I have coached at the high school, junior college, and NCAA Division I and Division II levels. Chico State, Chabot College, San Ramon Valley High School, Monte Vista High School, Notre Dame De Namur University and Saint Mary’s College of California to name a few. I am experienced in coaching ages 13-24. I specialize in coaching the 800m-10k distances but am also familiar with coaching the half marathon and marathon distances.

I currently run professionally and am a mid distance specialist. My PRs are:

1500m : 4:12:00
3000m: 9:06.3
5000m: 15:48
I was a late bloomer in high school with PRs of 5:27 in the 1600m and 20:16 in the 5k. I ran at the junior college level at Butte College where I hold the 5K school record and Chico State where I hold the 1500m school record.

A typical week includes recovery runs coupled with strides ,2 interval sessions or 1 tempo in replace of a 2nd interval run for those who specialize in longer distances. 1-2 strength routines (weight room), one day to focus on running drills and speed maintenance, and a long run. The volume and specificity is based on the athletes background
