Coach Heather Stephens
Coach Heather’s passion for running started in high school where she won multiple state championships, and earned All-American status all four years. She continued on to Syracuse University where she competed for The Orange in cross country, the 5k, the mile, and the steeplechase. Her passion for running, training, and competition led her to Georgetown University where she began her coaching career working alongside two of the most decorated
coaches in the NCAA. After Georgetown, she moved to Seattle to work for Oiselle where she spent three years building the Volée ambassador racing team. Heather has been coaching athletes online for the past six years and loves working with newbies all the way up to elites. Heather’s other great life love is traveling. She’s circled the globe and run in over 25 different countries. Who run the world? Beyoncé of course, and technically also Coach Heather.
Coach Kristin Metcalf
Kristin started running track and field her freshmen year in high school. She continued her love for racing at the University of Washington where she competed in cross-country and track. After college she raced 5k’s up to the half marathon. Not only does she have thirty years of her own running experience to draw from but she also began coaching high school track and cross-country since 1995. With 16 years of coaching experience she has a wealth of knowledge to offer to you.
After taking a break from coaching high school runners Kristin spent five years working at Oiselle Running Inc. where she led the ambassador and elite runner teams. What she loves most about running is the fact that it teaches you how to persevere through challenges within the sport and in life. The habits that you develop as well as the friendships that you make while you are running are priceless.
