What runners are saying after working with Jeanne.
"I’ve been running with Jeanne for almost 5 years. I refer to her as the “cheat code” to marathoning! Her wealth of knowledge and experience and her generous heart make her an amazing individual and an amazing runner. I’ve been a lifelong runner and started marathoning at 50. I had no idea about long distance training, marathon registration or how to plan for a marathon adventure.
Having Jeanne on my team took the guesswork out of all of it. Even more importantly running with her continues to be fun even while getting results. In 4 years, I’ve run 18 marathons including all the majors. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Jeanne and it wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun!"

"I joined Jeanne Marchand’s running group in 2022 during a time of personal struggle, hoping to do something positive for myself. From the very first group run, I found myself surrounded by fast, experienced runners—and I quickly began to doubt whether I belonged. But Jeanne wouldn’t let that doubt stick around for long.
​
As the slowest runner in the group, I often questioned my place, but Jeanne made it clear that speed wasn’t what mattered—showing up for yourself did. She constantly checked in after runs, offered thoughtful training advice, and shared words of encouragement that helped me keep going. Because she believed in me, I began to believe in myself.
With her guidance and support, I finished that marathon… and then signed up for more. Since training with Jeanne, I’ve completed eight additional marathons. She’s been by my side through it all—not just as a coach, but as a friend. Whether I’m prepping for another race or traveling abroad to run, Jeanne is always there with helpful tips on what to pack, where to stay, and even the best pre-race dinner spots.
​
Jeanne has truly transformed my running journey in ways I never imagined. Her belief in me helped me rewrite my story, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful. Jeanne is not only an incredible coach—she’s an inspiration."
