Coach Tayler Tuttle

Tayler’s running journey began in high school where she quickly fell in love with the process of putting in the work and seeing her efforts translate to tangible progress. Under the guidance of her coach, she was quickly fascinated by the science behind the process and understanding the “why” behind each aspect of training. She has remained a student of the sport and ultimately studied exercise physiology in college to expand her understanding of the human body and its potential.

Tayler ran track and cross country at the University of Colorado where she was an All-American in cross country while helping her team to a national championship win. She also won an indoor conference title in the 5,000m. Post-collegiately, Tayler has continued to train and race after initially battling some injuries. She competed on the roads in 2022 with 2 top-10 finishes at US championships. In late 2024, Tayler shifted her focus to competing on the trails. In 2025, she won two US championships on the trails in the half-marathon and the 50k. In 2026, her focus has remained on the trails where she is preparing to compete in the World Cup finals as a part of team USA. She is also planning to debut in the road marathon later this year.

Throughout her running career, Tayler has dealt with her fair share of injuries and setbacks. While never ideal in the moment, these experiences have been incredibly valuable in developing her sense of self-belief to overcome any obstacles. This belief is something she hopes to instill in the athletes she works with as they inevitably face obstacles of their own.
