Jenni’s Running Story
I’ve been running since first grade, sparked by beating all the boys at recess. Since then, I’ve stayed hooked on the mix of fitness, competition, challenge, and fun. I love a good race, but my favorite days are running adventures across roads and trails. If you tag along, two things are guaranteed: you won't be bored, and you'd better pack snacks.
Jenni’s Coaching Story
I founded Mercuria Running in 2013. My coaching is backed by 40 years of running, 15+ years of coaching, and a decade as an educator. I specialize in running form, custom training plans, online coaching, and guided runs.
I work with runners across the spectrum—from beginners taking their first steps to athletes chasing a BQ. As a masters runner myself, I have a passion for helping the 40+ crowd train smart, stay durable, and keep running strong for the long haul.
Training fits your life, not the other way around. We’re not just here to chase finish lines; we’re dreaming big, staying curious about what’s possible, and enjoying the miles together.

MEET COACH KERI-ANN
Keri-Ann Rugg, Youth, Adult, & Group Running Coach
Best Race Performance: 2022 Gunstock Trailfest - 1st Place Female, Peak to Peak Trail Challenge and 1st Place Female 10k Trail Race
Marathon PR: 3:20:41, Chicago Marathon 2022
Half Marathon PR: 1:36:52, Smuttynose Rockfest Half Marathon 2021
Keri-Ann’s Running Story
I always was dubbed the “Sporty Spice” of my friend group, from my love of being active. Growing up in New England, I remember TVs being wheeled into our elementary classrooms on Marathon Monday to watch the Boston Marathon. It was always a dream of mine to run a marathon, and an even bigger dream to run Boston. Never running a race before, I signed up for and ran my first marathon in 2013. In 2020 I finally reached my goal of qualifying for Boston and did again in 2021. It will be a real dream come true the day I get to cross the finish line on Boylston Street!
I am passionate about running and helping people reach their goals. I love that I wake up everyday and can do both! I enjoy traveling to new places for races and though I love all distances, my favorite distance is the marathon! I am based out of New Hampshire and work with runners throughout New England.
Keri-Ann’s Coaching Story
Straight out from graduation at UNH, where I went for Nutrition Sciences, I started working as a coach and have been coaching for nearly a decade. I have experience working with all age groups and varying levels. Whatever your running goals may be, I will meet you where you are and I will help you fine tune your speed and form. I'll support you through the highs and lows, and help you celebrate your successes throughout the process. Running is fun, and together we'll keep it that way! I am based out of New Hampshire and work with runners throughout New England.

Half Marathon PR: 1:28:46, 2021 Rock 'N' Roll Savannah
Allison's Running Story
I have been running for as long as I can remember! While I grew up playing soccer, I always jumped into local races, ran with my family and friends, and of course, loved our fitness and conditioning based soccer practices. I went on to play soccer at Stetson University, and after graduating I focused more on half marathons and full marathons. I absolutely love running for the joy it brings into my life. I also love the physical and mental challenge of setting and achieving new goals. I look forward to sharing that joy and growth with others.
Allison’s Coaching Story
I studied Health Sciences at Stetson University and then completed my master's degree in Exercise and Nutrition Science at the University of Tampa. I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with the National Strength and Conditioning Association and have over three years of coaching experience. I am passionate about helping others achieve their goals while having fun along the way!

MEET COACH THAD
Thad Paxinos, Running Coach
Top Race Performance: 2024 RRCA Montana State 10k Champion, Master’s Division, Heart & Sole Run
Marathon PR: 3:09:53, CIM 2021
Ultra Marathon PR:10:22:34, Sun Mountain 50 Mile 2022
World Major Marathon Finishes: Boston, Chicago
Thad’s Running Story
I grew up playing any sport that included a ball and always loved running as fast as I could on the field. But I didn’t really become a “serious” runner until well into adulthood after moving to Seattle and joining a running group. Running has been a great way to meet new friends and explore new places.
After running my first 5k, which at the time felt like the hardest thing ever, I’ve now raced 13 (and counting) marathons, dozens of half marathons, 5 and 10ks, and even a triathlon and ultra marathon! I love what running has done for me and I’m excited to share my running joy with others!
Thad’s Coaching Story
My coaching approach is rooted in collaboration and teamwork. I will provide customized coaching based on individual goals and priorities, working together with the athlete to help them set and achieve their goals. My personal motto is, “Progress over perfection,” and I believe good results will come from good preparation, process, effort, and having fun along the way.
