About Ann Alyanak
I coached college athletes for six years until having my first son. After that I decided to start coaching runners privately online and have been doing so for a little over eight years. I have coached runners of all abilities and it is always thrilling to see runners set new personal bests and achieve their goals.
Description
I became involved with The Run SMART Project out of a desire to return to coaching and use my experiences to help other runners achieve their goals.  As coach of the women’s cross country team at the University of Dayton from 2004 to 2010 my favorite part was seeing the athletes improve and develop a passion for running. After stepping away from collegiate coaching to spend more time with my son I am excited to work with runners again and develop individualized training plans that will fit their lifestyle and goals. I also enjoy using my educational background in exercise science to apply training principles. I have raced professionally since 2002 running races all across the nation. My experiences racing and training help me relate to other runners allowing me to become a better coach. I have been exposed to many different training theories and plans and know that there is no one size fits all approach. I am eager to work with runners to find the right plan and help them run personal bests. I now have three children and I really enjoy being able to continue to coach. I also understand that people need to fit their training in around family and work. I strive to make training plans efficient and work with a runner's personal schedule so they can get the most out of their plan.
