Neil Ruocco
Neil offers his passion for running, knowledge from successfully training and racing since 2014, and many years of coaching and developing others professionally. Neil ran his first marathon in 2015 at age 53 which was a life-changing experience. After this, he studied popular advanced training methods and created his own plan that took him to his first Boston Marathon in 2017 (his BQ streak continues).
In late 2018 Neil hired Cal not only as a coach but to give him a crash course in the basics of endurance running, running physiology, and advance methods of training (from 5k to marathon distances).
Neil is committed to sharing his knowledge with others looking for a similar life-changing experience through running.
Taryn Jurgella
Coach Taryn Wright Jurgella stumbled into her distance running career in 2008 after signing up for a half marathon for fun. Fast forward to 2021 and many miles and races down the road she has transitioned to the role of coach. Taryn is ready to share her love for the long run and drop knowledge bombs gained from her career as a Physical Therapist, all while working alongside the rest of the Hardloop crew to chase her newest running goal; a sub-3-hour marathon. A member of Team Hardloop since 2018, Taryn is no stranger to the variety, accountability, and truly personalized workouts Hardloop is known for and she is so excited to help other runners select goals, set plans, and succeed as a far better runner than they thought possible.
