Janet Hamilton is one of the most frequent running coach contributors to Runner's World magazine and voted Atlanta's Top Running Coach.

Janet started her coaching career over 25 years ago. With a Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology from the University of Alabama, Birmingham and extensive experience working with injured runners she identified a common theme - many of those injured athletes could benefit from some guidance on their training plans. By fine tuning the paces and training loads, and teaching them specific strength and flexibility exercises she helped them not only recover, but soar to achieve new goals. 

She served as an Assistant Professor at Clayton State University from 2000-2007, and was instrumental in developing the Bachelor of Science in Health and Fitness Management major there. She taught undergraduate courses in Exercise Physiology, Kinesiology, Exercise Testing & Prescription, and Pharmacology for Fitness Professionals.  

Janet was also an instructor for the Road Runners Club of America coaching certification program nationwide from 2005-2012. RRCA coaching certification is one of the most popular is in the U.S.
