— Coaches —

We support amateur athletes at all levels. We have runners training for their first races to those running elite times. All are welcome and supported equally towards their goals. We have a team of six coaches and you are fit with the best coach for you when you sign up with us. All plans are tailored to you, as an individual, and no matter who your coach is, you have access to all the events we put on as a team, including track night and long run meet-ups.

Grit Coaching delivers online programing and coaching guidance from Master's level Exercise Physiologist and Calgary-based Olympian Jessica O'Connell and strength specialist Faye Stenning. We work together to provide wholistic run and/or strength plans for runners and OCR athletes of all ages, focusing on 5km-50 mile race distances. Our programs are completely custom and created only for YOU based on your goals, equipment, location, current level, past injuries, and lifestyle. The online nature of Grit Coaching allows access to effective, science-informed bespoke training from expert coaches for those who are unable to join an in-person training group.

Providing coaching and guidance, to athletes of all ages and abilities, by utilizing a goal based approach to personal achievement. Philosophy is based on creating a well-rounded athlete and building consistent, continuous improvement over a long period of time. Utilizing block periodization (6 to 12 weeks) as the method of organizing training, and focus on improving one or two athletic qualities at a time. All blocks include the key ingredients of endurance, strength, speed-endurance and power. All training plans are built specific to the individual to meet their specific goals and needs.

We believe that coaching is an art and a science and approach training with an athlete centred approach. We host weekly group practices each week in Calgary which compliment expertly designed, periodized training plans that are tailored to the needs of each runner. Come run with us!
