​Peter Valentyik has been a Coach with the Training Club sine 2006 and obtains great satisfaction learning and sharing knowledge and experience with athletes of different abilities. He also coaches Masters swimming, Nordic Skate skiing and is a private Swim Instructor for all abilities. Peter began his swim coaching/instruction in College and continued ever since with continued refinement in methods, athlete success and satisfaction. Born in Northern Michigan, he started out as a competitive swimmer since the age of 9 in Budapest Hungary, while attending school for one year. He then continued with swim competition into High School (MVP his senior year) and College (Most Improved Freshman Year). 

Noted performances included two consecutive years of competing in for the US @ Age Group Short Course World Championships in England (20th place) and New Zealand (7th place). Peter then chose to compete as a Professional Triathlete, where he competed for 13 years while also balancing a full time engineering career in the Medical Device field.

I graduated from the University of Colorado with my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and have extensive experience treating runners of all abilities in my clinic, Red hammer Rehab, alongside Heather North.
I started running cross country as a senior in high school to meet the requirements for my soccer team. I
invested more heavily in running while in grad school, when I had my first stint working with Revolution Running (then the Bolder Boulder Training Club). I coached for 2 Bolder Boulder 10K’s, always making sure to demonstrate how to hit the slip n’ slide while keeping the target race time. ;) Running is all about
having fun for me, and you will see that in my coaching style. Don’t worry, goals are also important to me too! After moving to Florida in 2008, I quickly began
connecting with local running groups and started coaching, while also pursuing my own running goals. I personally enjoy 10K and half marathon distances. That said, I have coached everyone from Couch to 5k runners, who just want to cover 3.1 miles for the first time in their lives, to a podium finisher at the Keys
50. I am a people person who just loves to make new acquaintances and educate and empower others to reach whatever the next step is in their life journey. Perhaps my favorite thing about being part of the running community is this: more than any other community that I have ever been a part of, I believe we runners, no matter how experienced, just enjoy seeing a new person get out and get moving, and we are always happy to join them. So whether you want that 26.2 PR or you have no idea what I just referred to, I can’t wait to work with you to see what you achieve next! 

Steve moved to Boulder in 1982.  He is a professional Land Surveyor and owner of Flagstaff Surveying which he started in 1992.  He is married to Jill Sellars and together they have two children and two step children.

Growing up on Cape Cod, Steve started running in the 1970’s, participating in cross country and high school track. He spent the majority of his 20’s and 30’s as a martial arts student and instructor and merely “dabbled” in running for fun and fitness. 

At the age of 41, Steve herniated  his L4/L5 disk and believed he may never be able to run competitively again. Instead, he overcame the odds and became much more serious about running, consistently logging 70 mile weeks.  He has had Benji Durden (1980 Olympic team member in marathon) as a training partner for over ten years.

Steve is still learning new things about running every day and is looking forward to sharing his knowledge and helping others attain their goals.

Jill is a Boulder native and works as the Care Coordinator for The Boulder Longevity Institute, helping clients achieve optimal wellness throughout the life span.   She is happily married to Steven Sellars and together, they have two children and two step children.

Jill did not begin running until her late 30’s.  When she began she thought running had to be hard all the time.  With experience and mentorship from her husband/coach Steve, she learned that there is a time to run hard and other times to just enjoy the scenery.  Jill loves to train and race and has competed in nearly every distance from 400 meters to the marathon.  Her favorite event is cross country!

Jill understands the challenges of taking up running later in life and hopes to help others make a transition into a more healthy and active lifestyle. With a recent change of employers Jill now has more time to commit to training and is looking forward to growing as a coach.  One of Jill’s greatest pleasures is to help new runners stay upbeat and on track despite minor setbacks or occasional bad training days.

Steve raced bicycles at CU-Boulder in the late 80's and continued amateur racing into the mid-90's. After a hiatus to have two kids, Steve started running regularly in 2002 and has been ever since.  In 2009 he began competing in triathlon, and with great coaching and all the resources Boulder has to offer, he qualified for the ITU Age Group World Championships in 2012 (Auckland).  With new lifetime PRs in all three sports in 2014, he will be representing the USA again in 2015 at ITU World Championships, held in Chicago. Steve's philosophy is to keep training consistent yet dynamic, continuously trying new things and ideas seeking those "secret weapons" that make a break through happen, and taking a long term view by using the seasons to ones advantage. 

Professionally, Steve is an Electrical Engineer working for Texas Instruments, and is also pursuing a PhD in Electromagnetics at CU-Boulder. 

I am a Graduate Student at the University of Colorado working towards a Master's Degree in Secondary Education.
​Along with being a student I am the head cross country and track coach at Nederland High School. 

​Goes by “Tyler or T-Ride”.  Tyler is from Capitan, NM
with a running philosophy of work hard, but have fun while you do it.

He enjoys at Bear Peak in Boulder and the Swiss trail.  Other than running, Tyler likes fising his bike and playing Ultimate Frisbee.
Tyler has won the pancho sombrero challenge at the El Paso half marathon and is a seasoned triathlete. I like to think most of my fondest acomplishments are yet to come.  

Tyler is currently coaching for Shining Mountain Waldorf school as a High School Track and Field Coach, and as a Middle School Cross Country Coach. This will be his 4th season as a coach for Revolution Running, and he enjoy every minute of it.

​I am from the great plains of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I attended the University of South Dakota where I ran track for three years and played soccer for three years. Although running is something I enjoy now, it hasn't always been my passion. Growing up, I spent most of my time on the soccer field. 
My recent enjoyment for running comes from running with friends on the varying terrains Colorado has to offer but more specifically on the trails. I have dabbled in a couple of 50k races that have kept my appetite for trail running ever increasing. 
I eat ice cream almost every day and I eat it year round. 

Favorite races thus far are in order of the most scenic: Silver Falls 50k, North Face 50k, Mickelson Trail 1/2 marathon

Bucket List: Races: Golden Leaf Half in Aspen
                  Adventures/Hikes: Zion Traverse, Wonderland Trail, Colorado Trail
Fun fact: I am unable to cross my eyes. 

​Rachel Dehner has been coaching for Revolution Running since 2004. She began running in junior high school and hasn’t stopped since.  She has raced everything from5K’s to 50K’s, as well as the Mt. Evans and Pikes Peak Ascents.  She is now discovering a love oftrail running and is looking forward to new off-road adventures.  Personal bests include:  19:49 inthe 5K, 1:29 in the half marathon and 3:34 in the marathon.  She has qualified for Boston 5 timesand ran it for the first time in 2011; definitely one of her most memorable running experiences!  She began dabbling in snowshoe racing in the winter of 2010, finding a sport that makes runningseem relatively easy!  

She believes that while training must be hard work at times, the joy and pleasure that come fromrunning should always be the first priority.  The sense of health and well-being that come fromstaying active is something she believes affects all aspects of a person’s life.  She also believes thatcross-training is key and keeps active herself by mountain and road biking, hiking, snow-shoeing,and yoga.  She is truly passionate about running and loves sharing that with everyone she coaches.

​​Running is my absolute favorite sport. I’ve been doing it forever – roads with Rev Run and Rocky Mountain Road Runners, trails with the Denver Trail Runners, and coaching with Revolution Running and Fast Forward. This is a sport you can do for a lifetime and you meet the best people while running.

Areas of Coaching Interest:
Beginner Runners – Rev Run 11 minute pace group.
Runners who want to improve performance

Experience as a Coach:
Coaching with Revolution Running since 2014

Experience as an Athlete:
39 years of running experience. Been running year round since my freshman year of high school. I have run 16 marathons, two 50ks and 100's of races from 2 mile to half marathon.  I run a lot around Denver and often place in my age group.
Now that I have Osteopenia, I’ve had more than my share of stress fractures. I have experience coming back from injury and can help you if you’re in that situation.

I am originally from North Carolina, but moved to Denver in 2008 to enjoy the beautiful mountains and strong endurance-sport community. I have a Level 1 USATF coaching certification as well as Level 1 and 2 RRCA coaching certifications. Running has been a passion of mine since my junior high track days. Since then, I have raced a variety of distances including half marathons, full marathons, 50Ks, and even an Ironman. I most enjoy loading up my backpack and hitting the trails for long runs. ​

I am originally from Wisconsin.  I started running when I was in middle school, when I would join my dad for an occasional loop around the neighborhood; more just to spend some time with him, nothing really serious.  In high school, one of my teachers offered extra credit to try out for the cross country team because they were having trouble fielding a full squad.  I joined and found a team full of awesome nerds and weird traditions and have been a runner ever since.  I've run every distance from 400M to marathons, road races and trail races, and even had a few years as a triathlete.  I moved to Colorado in 2005 and worked at the Runners Roost a bit while I was in school, picking the brains of some great runners and coaches.  I started coaching with Revolution Running in 2007, and over the years have loved working with runners of every experience level and with all varieties of goals.  My biggest goal as a coach is to help runners learn to see running as a lifestyle, and more than just training for a race.  I love Revolution Running because it has a great core of supportive coaches and fellow runners who help keep you motivated year-round.

Fun fact: I am at least 6 inches taller than everyone else in my family.  I sprouted 5 inches in middle school, making me 6' 2" and about as coordinated as a baby giraffe.  Thankfully, baby giraffes can run within a few hours of being born.... but they are terrible at soccer.

Having been a runner for most of my adult life, I started competing back in 2001. My favorite distance is the marathon. Running and competing in races is not only an individual sport for me, I like to share my experience with other runners and have fun running with a big group of runners. ​
