New Staff for Breakaway Training:

Coach Jerry Armstrong
Ultramarathon Specialist

Jerry is a competitive ultra-distance runner and triathlete. Jerry grew up here in beautiful San Diego and took up running while in the Marine Corps. After an honorable discharge, Jerry began competing in road racing and triathlon. He competed in triathlon at all levels, including Ironman, and then discovered ultra-marathon to be his true calling.
In his "spare" time, he trains about 100 miles a week in preparation for ultra distance racing. He regularly does training runs in excess of 30 miles and runs full marathons for training. Jerry works part-time at the San Diego Running Institute, where he acts at the "Resident Ultra Runner."
Jerry will be at Badwater this year as the lead pacer for a Brazilian runner. He is also in preparation for the San Diego 100 Mile Endurance Run and the Brazil 135 in January. Most recently, Jerry competed in several 50 mile ultra-marathons and 50k races.
Through his experience with ultra endurance racing, Jerry has developed a great understanding of how to fuel the body for performance before, during, and after exertion. This understanding of endurance nutrition and his knowledge of training as it relates to ultra-endurance can assist just about anyone seeking to run their first half, full-marathon, or ultra marathon.

Welcome on Board Jerry!
