Coach Jen has been participating in endurance sports since 2005, when she started running as part of a plan to rid her body of an incurable autoimmune disease.
That plan worked! So, Jen added cycling and swimming and began working towards the Ironman finish line. Having completed multiple Ironmans, marathons and numerous smaller races, Jen set her sights on coaching others.
Jen created her coaching philosophy by drawing on the science taught to her in the USAT certification program with the skills, tools, and principles she learned during two years of study with the Inner Visions Institute for Spiritual Development.
In addition to coaching and racing, Jen is the Executive Director and Founder of The Ironjen Foundation, which helps autoimmune patients get access to natural and alternative therapies. Jen is also the author of the soon to be published memoir, Forged of Iron,
