Hi! My name is Janell.
I ran competitively in High School and college and started coaching boys and girls high school cross country in 2008 . I absolutely love working with kids and remembers my times on the cross country team as some of the best parts of my high school career. For the last 10 year I have coached middle school and high school teams. Including a large number of athletes who have gone on to lead very successful collegiate and semi-professional careers. I have coached a range of athletes from middle school and high school cross country to Boston Qualifying marathoners. Janell takes great pride in being an active member in the KC running community .
I am an avid runner, teacher and coach. I married the love of my life and together we have the cutest daughter. Communication is the foundations of a working coach-athletes relationship. I am available through email, phone, fb messenger and in person through out your customized programming. As a busy working mom and competitive runner I can understand the stresses that come along during a training cycle and I will work with your to get the maximum benefits for your time. Training smarter! I absolutely love running. I love the journey of self discovery that every training cycle brings. I have fallen in love with running community and have made the best life long friends.
