coach eric van der els

Leading other athletes along my journey as a runner has always been a priority of mine. As a recent graduate of the University of Connecticut, and serving 3 years as captain on the XC/TF teams, i’ve always had a role in enhancing and developing others abilities resulting in multiple team and individual championships. 

I am here as a coach to share my knowledge as a former Division 1 All-American, and current professional runner for ZAP Endurance. Together, we will work on a customized training plan that suits you best to become the best runner you can be and chase down the goals that we are working towards. 

Embracing the process along the journey as your coach and developing an athlete/coach relationship through the highs and lows is what I am looking forward to in route to your success.
