Coach Jessica Belen-Rivera

Certified at the RRCA Running Coach Level I & II, USA Track & Field Level I, UESCA Certified Triathlon Coach, and NASM Personal Trainer, I bring over 30 years of running experience to the table. With twenty-one marathons, twenty-one half marathons, two 10 milers, and various 5K and 10K races under my belt. I also conquered two 70.3 Ironman events, as well as two full Ironman races. From winning races ranging from 5K to the half marathon distance, I have competed in diverse locations like the Great Wall of China, Puerto Rico, Austria, Egypt, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, and Germany. Despite an ACL replacement in 2014 due to a skiing mishap, I optimized my training methods to set personal bests, including clinching a RRCA 10K National Championship win and multiple Boston Marathon qualifications. My coaching approach tailors to individual objectives, be it running, overall fitness, competition-specific training, or nutritional guidance. Emphasizing quality over quantity, along with strength training, proper nutrition, and holistic well-being, my aim is to help you excel and sustain success. Whether you're bouncing back from injury or striving for a Boston Qualifier, I aspire to guide you in surpassing your limits and reaching your aspirations.
