Rogue Coaches
Meet Coach Jess
I started running in 2011 as a single mom looking for purpose—and discovered a path that changed everything. From gasping through my first 5K to running marathons and ultras, I’ve lived the transformation this sport can offer.
Now I help other runners do the same.
I’m not your average coach. My style is rogue: intuitive, outside the box, personalized, and rooted in real life. I coach beyond the numbers, blending strategic training with deep listening—to your body, your feedback, your life.

Meet Coach Kay
Meet Coach Kay — RRCA Certified Run Coach & ACE Group Fitness Instructor
📍 Based in Waxhaw, NC (Coaching remotely and locally)
Coach Kay brings warmth, wisdom, and lived experience to the Rogue table. Whether you're just starting out, rebuilding after injury, or rediscovering yourself through movement, Kay meets you where you are and walks beside you in the messy middle.
She played soccer through college and ran her first marathon in 2011 as a senior. Since then, she’s completed over 30 half marathons and 3 full marathons — all while navigating surgeries, returning from injury and childbirth, and balancing full-time (and overtime!) work as a CPA. She’s always striving to get stronger and faster — and show her daughters what true strength and goal-chasing look like. This momma is leaving a legacy!
She’s your coach if you’re ready to:
Begin your running journey with confidence and support
Return post-injury or postpartum with care and structure
Break through mental barriers that have held you back
Get fit for life — not just for a finish line
Be reminded that this gets to feel good, even when it’s hard
Coaching Style:
* Understanding
* Supportive
* Motivational
Fun Fact: She’s running a half marathon in every U.S. state before turning 50, and chasing all six World Marathon Majors!
Post-race tradition: Uber Eats + a cold beer 🍻
Her mantra: “Take your goals seriously, but never yourself.”
