ABOUT COACH V

My name is Vanessa McGovern, I'm a mom of three amazing kids. I am passionate about running, coaching and health and fitness. I am a certified USATF Level 1 Coach.  

​

My love of running started when I was 14 when I began running track in middle school.  I went on to run for Lamar University and the University of Houston.  After competing in college I realized that my running journey didn't have to end there. 

​

I continued training and competing in road races from 5k to the marathon, including completing 3 marathons in Houston and NY, as well as 5 half marathons in Texas, California and Ireland. 

​

My coaching philosophy is centered on balancing endurance, strength, speed and fueling through progressive quality training.  My goal as a coach is to help you elevate your fitness to achieve big personal goals.
