Bio: I’m Jay Silva, a dedicated running coach with a passion for helping athletes unlock their full potential. With certifications as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator (TSAC-F), I specialize in bridging the gap between strength, speed, and endurance. My coaching philosophy is built on the belief that a well-rounded athlete isn’t just strong or fast, but resilient across the board.

Whether you’re preparing for your first 5K, chasing a marathon PR, or aiming to enhance your overall fitness, I provide personalized coaching tailored to your specific goals. My expertise extends beyond traditional running programs; I integrate sports performance strategies to elevate your training, making sure every run, lift, and workout gets you one step closer to your peak performance. Specializing in training tactical athletes, I understand the unique demands faced by those in high-stakes professions. My approach ensures that these athletes are not only physically prepared but also mentally fortified to excel in their roles. Let’s work together to achieve your goals, whether that’s crushing a personal best, staying injury-free, or simply enjoying the journey of becoming a stronger, faster, and more efficient runner.
