Educated Running added Stephanie Herrick and Joshua Maxwell as coaches today.

“I believe both Coach Herrick and Coach Maxwell will be dedicated to improving others and committed to helping athletes just as coaches in their own lives have helped them,” said Educated Running Co Founder, Coach Hammond, on the new staff additions.

Coach Herrick was the Head Girls’ Counselor at the 5-Star Cross Country Camp for eight years. She currently works for the New York Road Runners as their Youth Program Coordinator. Coach Herrick also runs for the Central Park Track Club and hopes to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Trials.

Coach Maxwell is currently the Head Cross Country Coach at Waukee High School in Waukee, Iowa. He is a USATF Level I Certified Coach, and he has trained several athletes to state titles.

“I’m particularly impressed by the level of experience these coaches have with the youth,” said Educated Running Co Founder, Coach Miranda. “To me it says that they know firsthand how to instill healthy habits in athletes.”
