LONGMONT GROUP COACHES

 Michael Morrison - Longmont Lead Coach and Physical Therapist

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. I am excited to be moving back to
Colorado, where I am partnering with Heather North at Red Hammer Rehab. With my background in
physical therapy, I feel I offer a great source of injury prevention and injury management for those who
run with me.
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!

Every distance race is her favorite, and she strongly believes that racing should be fun! Bridget also believes that running with a group makes you more accountable. "There will be days when you pull others, and days when others pull you."

Chris Kelly

Thirteen marathons done (might have missed one or two....memory fades, have to go through tshirts)
Began running for pleasure in my mid-20s and went from a 5K to a marathon in eight hot, sweaty months in Austin, Texas.  That is when I really caught the running "bug" and it became part of my life.  I moved to Colorado permanently in the summer of 2013 though began running with Revolution Running in the winter of 2012.  Previously in Austin, TX I had done some light running coaching and led track workout sessions to build community and give back to the sport which has given so much to me. 

I am still active in race production and volunteerism in both Colorado and Texas as often as possible.  I also work in a local specialty running store which provides me access to some great coaching advice and experience that I can hopefully pass on to others.  I love meeting and working with new runners because I still remember so many positive experiences I had as a new runner and what that has meant to me on this journey of life!
​
PRs:  Mile 5:12; 5K 19:15; 10K 40:09; 1/2 Marathon 1:30; Marathon 3:21

Becky Lynn

A graduate from the University of Georgia, Becky moved to Colorado to pursue a career that balanced he love of athletics and the outdoors. Her running philosophy consists of challenging yourself all while having fun. She currently alternates between local road races and ultra runs on the weekends. Running has shown her how to find motivation within herself and has reinforced the aspects of life that mean the most to her such as setting high standards, being responsible for your actions, and challenging yourself to be the best I can be.  She hopes that she can help others find this same passion on their unique running journey. 
In her work life, she is an Account Executive with Modcraft, a Brands communications agency representing clients in the healthy and active lifestyle space. She also works part time at Shoes and Brews, a specialty retail running store and brewery in Longmont. Any extra time she has working, she is repping for Picky Bars, a nutrition bar based out of Bend. 

She began running to stay in shape for soccer in middle school and fell in love. She joined the Atlanta Track Club and the Athens Road Runners and raced on the Athens Fleet Feet Competitive Racing Team by participating in local 5ks, 10ks, and halfs. At 19 she completed her first marathon in Atlanta and fell in love with the longer distances. She has now completed at least seven marathons with a PR at Boston of 2:58 and 4 ultras, the longest being the Silverrush 50 miler in Leadville. She participated in the Rev Running 2016 Spring session and loved every minute of it getting fit, which ultimately led to her marathon PR. Becky can't wait to see what the LOCO crew can do!
