Read Jen's story"Jen is amazing, and I wish I met her 20 years sooner. With her I am usually top five or better in my age group every race, and that is after a major hip injury and a broken shoulder."
"Numerous Ironmans, Kona, the Boston Marathon, 50-milers, even the Leadville 100. Over 20 years Jen has been there for all of it. Her balance of feel and science is second to none."
"She takes the time to understand not just my training goals but everything else in my life. Her coaching is about becoming a stronger, healthier athlete while keeping balance."
"Coach Jen makes every athlete feel like they are her only athlete. Once you are part of that family, you are surrounded by people who want nothing but the best for you."
"She took a 59-year-old, sedentary me to my first IRONMAN in Madison, and three more finishes after that. I lost 40 pounds and learned to trust my training."
"Having a coach did not just make me a faster triathlete. It brought sanity to a chaotic schedule of work and two young kids."
"Multiple marathon PRs, Boston twice, and four 70.3 finishes with steady improvement every race. You always feel supported and challenged."
"Her communicative, down-to-earth coaching made all the difference. I qualified for both the 70.3 and Olympic Distance World Championships."
"I started with Jen in my early 40s. I am now 60, with multiple age group wins and a trip to Kona, and I still love this sport."
"With Jen I have raced 20 Ironmans, qualified for Worlds three times, and finished 2nd female at Ultraman Canada. She saw what I could do before I could."
"Every workout is intentional and built for me and my goals. When Jen coaches you, the whole JHC community is rooting for you."
"Whether you are a die-hard athlete or a weekend warrior, Coach Jen is top notch. She builds a program that fits your specific needs."
"I have worked with Jen for over 15 years and never even considered switching. She anticipates your needs before you do."
"Jen has helped me become a better triathlete and a better coach. I could not hope for a better person in my corner as I chase big goals."
"The hardest working coach in triathlon. She meets you where you are and truly gets the challenges of the masters athlete."
"Knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring. She knows exactly when to challenge you and when to offer support."
"From local races to Ironmans, if you want to take your performance to the next level, JHC is the way to go. Personalized coaching at its best."
"She coached me to my first IRONMAN. Everything is personalized, and she gets to know you as a person, not just an athlete."
"Fourteen years with Jen. Twenty years into this sport and we are both still doing it, still healthy, and still loving it."
"I started as a burned-out runner who did not own a bike. Through Jen's coaching I have qualified for three World Championships."
