ABOUT COACH PRISSYLLA:

• Coach Prissylla's running journey began with struggling through school mile runs and viewing running as something she had to do.
• During her military service, she transformed from failing her first Army run test to earning the top physical training award out of more than 200 soldiers in boot camp.
• Years later, she rediscovered running through local community runs and learned how to train smarter, pace properly, and truly enjoy the sport.
• Since then, she has completed multiple 5Ks, 10ks, half marathons and marathons while continuing to grow as both a runner and mentor.

This is coached, intentional running education designed to help you train smarter, avoid burnout, and build confidence over time.
