I am committed to enhancing your athletic performance through a holistic approach to training and well-being.

With an experienced coach by your side, you are excellently prepared to excel.

My name is Jolinda. I'm 36 years old, married, and a mother to an 12-year-old son and a 14-year-old daughter. Eight years ago, I couldn't run for even a minute. I was overweight, smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, and was far from fit and healthy. I was always tired and lethargic. I knew I needed a change!

I started running, and it transformed my lifestyle. I lost 20 kilograms and now I run ultramarathons, participate in IRONMAN 70.3 events, and have completed 6 IRONMAN 140.6 events, including the World Championship in Kona, Hawaii!

For those unfamiliar with a full-distance Ironman, it consists of a 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike ride, and a marathon run (42.2 km) – all in one day, without a break :)

You might wonder, "Why would you do that?" Setting a big goal keeps me focused and helps me make better choices in other areas of my life. The definition of a 'big goal' has changed over the years; six years ago, running 5 kilometers seemed impossible, now I feel the same at the start of an IRONMAN. But you know what? With consistent training and perseverance, anything is possible. For you too!

In 2020, I successfully completed my training to become an Ironman Certified coach. I also pursued studies in nutrition and sports nutrition and am now a qualified nutritionist! To better guide my runners and triathletes, I have completed the USA Triathlon Level 1, Stryd coaching, and Precision Hydration courses, and have become a TriDot and RunDot coach.

I LOVE sharing my knowledge and passion, and getting others excited about running and triathlon. I enjoy helping people gain insights into sports nutrition, teaching them to run faster and longer, and coaching triathletes toward their goals!

In 2019, I started my first 12-week running group, guiding participants from zero to 5 kilometers, successfully! From there, it grew, and now I coach around 60 runners at all levels, from beginners to experienced marathoners.

As an Ironman Certified Coach and USAT Level 1 Coach, I train triathletes of all levels, from those looking to complete their first super sprint triathlon to age-group competitors participating in full-distance Ironman events.

Since 2023, I have been affiliated with RunDot and TriDot, the most advanced platforms for running and triathlon training and an official partner of IRONMAN.

My motto:
Anyone can learn to swim, bike, and run!
From beginner athletes to podium chasers, anything is possible as long as you enjoy it and keep having fun. Focus on your personal goals and celebrate every victory!
​​You do you!
