Noel Preece of Noeltra Coaching sat down with us to talk about why you might need a run coach, what to look for when hiring a coach, and the keys to successful training.

Noel is originally from Botetourt County and today is coming to us from Richmond, VA where he is an exercise science grad student at VCU. Noel is a runner, cyclist, and coach. He enjoys working with all sorts of individuals, from beginners to ultrarunners to elite athletes. When Josh and I first met Noel, we were inspired by his passion to help others reach their goals, no matter how big or small, as well as his exercise and fitness knowledge.
