About
I have been coaching athletes for over 10 years now. At 16, I coached at Junior Cal Coast Track Club. The athlete's ages ranged from 9-14 years old. During that time, I also did private coaching as well. In college, I continued private coaching and had clients ranging from the ages of 9 to 45. In 2018, I accepted a head coaching job for Geffen Academy's Middle School Cross Country team. I coached both the boy's and girl's teams (approximately 40 athletes). I coached the boys to the school's first league championship (across all sports) and the girl's team to a 2nd place finish. Since leaving the program, I have returned to private coaching and am a USATF Certified coach. My personal experience as an athlete who has overcome career-ending injuries and revived my running career post-college allows me to help my athletes at any stage of their running. www.ashleespowers.com/runwithpowers

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Depending on your location, I offer in-person as well as online coaching. I will outline an in-person session:
Sessions will either be a running workout (intervals/tempos) or a strength training (plyometrics) session. We will warm up together and then I will walk you through Dynamic Stretching. Once our stretching is complete, I will give you the workout for the day depending on your distance and goal race pace. After you complete the workout, I will have you cool down and then I will give you core exercises before we go into post-workout stretches and rehab.
Online coaching, will begin with a free consultation where we go over your training, goals, and nutrition. I will then create a personalized training plan and upload it on Final Surge. There you will also find videos for injury prevention, core, strengthening, and more! All athletes will have Zoom update meetings with me at least once a month. My unlimited clients will have unlimited communication with me via email, phone, text, or any other method!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been coaching for over 12 years, and am a USATF Certified Coach. In 2020, I qualified for the US Olympic Trials in the marathon. Prior to running professionally, I competed at the NCAA DI level for SMU and UCLA
