Meet the Coaches
Emily Taft
UESCA Certified Coach

Emily was a beginner runner herself not that long ago and is excited to share her experience and provide guidance as your coach. She has spent the last ten years improving her running times while also working as a middle school math teacher.
Her favorite part about teaching is making connections with each student and helping them realize that with time, effort, and the right mindset, they can learn math - she believes the same applies to running!
She will listen to you, offer encouragement and support, and design the best training plan specifically for you to meet your running goals.
