Breakaway Training provides coaching and consultation services, classes and products for endurance athletes: whether you are a runner, triathlete or cyclist. We work with athletes who want to race and also those who want to participate in these sports as part of an active and healthy lifestyle. (We work with kids too.) Coaching Philosophy: Breakaway Training was founded by Julie Browning in 2003 out of a desire to explore and share her understanding of health, fitness, and nutrition. Julie enjoys helping athletes commit to a goal and then train towards that goal. Over the years she has been able help nurture, inspire, and coach so many wonderful athletes and see them fulfill their athletic goals. Over the years Julie's interests have broadened. It's not just about the workout, it's also about resting and nourishing our bodies. It's a lifestyle that is in pursuit of good health and wellness. Julie strives to learn more about what wellness is and what it means to others. To her it means: playing well, eating well and resting well. Playing well. Julie has been participating in sports most of her life. She started running and swimming competitively at the age of 9 while growing up in England. Over the years she has been involved in cross-country running, track and field, adventure racing, modern pentathlon, triathlon, bike racing, cyclo-cross, nordic skiing and mountain biking. Eating well: As a long time vegetarian she has read a lot of books in an attempt to explore what is optimal nutrition. Vegetarianism isn't something she necessarily promotes, but it has led her to delve deeper into understanding nutrients and how they interact with our bodies. In the kitchen, she thoroughly enjoys experimenting and creating. Resting well: Julie has been a student, career professional, elite athlete, business owner, a wife, and a mom. She strives to find a healthy balance between training, racing, playing, working, family, and resting.
