| Introduction | My name is Jacqui. I come from a running family--my parents used to run marathons together and had three kids who love running just as much as they do! I "ran" in college, as in I was constantly hurt. My fiancé, Ryan Giuliano, began coaching me as soon as I "retired" from college running. We had fun doing triathlons, duathlons and many running races. After my breakthrough Chicago 2009 marathon (2:56), he decided I needed a real running coach. However, I also lost my teaching job later that year, so just coached myself. Luckily, one of my dad's running club members who I trained with leading up to my 2009 Chicago offered to train me. Cari Setzler has got to be the most knowledgeable person I know in terms of coaching. She is incredible! I had HUGE goals for 2011 in attempting to qualify for the Olympic Trials in the marathon. Even though my hamstring caused my marathon performances to suffer, I got the "bug" and am going to start training EARLIER to qualify for the 2016 trials. Right now, I'm focusing on qualifying to represent the US in the World Duathlon Championships. Back to running in a year...:) |
