Train with Purpose - Faye Stenning and Jess O'Connell of Grit Coaching
Show Notes

Faye Stenning and Jess O’Connell are childhood friends who grew up to be mega athletes. Faye is the most winningest female Spartan athlete in the last decade, and Jess is a Canadia Olmplyian in the 5k.

Along with their athletic accomplishments, both Faye and Jess have established themselves as high-level fitness professionals through Faye’s Kinesiology Degree and experience as a personal trainer and Jess has a Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology. 

They have teamed up to form a coaching company called Grit Coaching.  

During the episode, we do a deep dive into Grit’s philosophy and how they are helping OCR athletes and runners with a unique approach.

In the episode, we talk about 

  • Why a templated coaching service is less than optimal for athletes. 
  • Some mental training tips that Jess and Faye use to improve their performance. 
  • And how to use a pre-run strength training to reduce injuries.
