About Coach Kopcha
Once a recreational runner, Chris started to focus on coaching while managing a local running store, with a goal of someday running the Boston Marathon, which she did twice. In 2018 she raced her first 50K and 50 Miler. Seen as an active athlete on the CT Shoreline, she has coached local runners from completing their first 5K to qualifying for their own Boston.
Always looking for new ways to grow as an athlete, Chris found the sport of Triathlon and has completed 6 Half Iron Distance and IRONMAN Lake Placid. With her running and endurance background, she started to develop the technique and coaching strategies needed for the swim and bike, and how to put the three sport together, in races and in life!
A NASM Personal Trainer and 500h Registered Yoga Teacher, Chris understands the importance of functional strength and flexibility work in combination with a healthy mindset to keep athletes moving towards their goals.
