Coach Justine Roper

Hi, I’m Dr. Justine "Jus" Williams Roper, a certified RRCA Run Coach, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and lifelong advocate for wellness. I specialize in helping beginner and intermediate runners confidently train for distances from 5Ks to half marathons — with a strong focus on injury prevention, mindset, and whole-body wellness. As both a marathon runner and pelvic floor specialist, I bring a unique perspective to coaching that blends evidence-based training with real-life strategies for busy professionals, women, and anyone working to overcome personal health challenges. Whether you're chasing a finish line for the first time or coming back stronger after setbacks, I’m here to guide you toward your goals safely and sustainably. When I’m not running or coaching, I’m speaking on stages nationwide about women's health, resilience, and overcoming adversity — including my own journey with fibroids and marathon training. Let’s get you across that finish line feeling strong, empowered, and proud!
