After running Divsion One Cross Country and Track, I am hoping to pass on my knowledge to the next generation of Track and Field.
My experience ranges from short sprints to the half marathon, with a focus in the middle-distance events. Coaching includes technical skillsets (starts, form, drills, tactical racing strategy), mental preparedness, and recovery techniques. I emphasize work ethic, resilience, camaraderie and joy in sport.

Get to know Coach Lucinda
About Me:
I grew up running in Brooklyn, and later went on to run Division 1 at Northeastern University. The many coaches I have had along the way have shaped who I am not just as an athlete, but as a person. I am passionate about helping athletes realize their full potential through effort, resilience, and excitement.
How I can help you improve your game:
Mental Game Coaching, Racing Strategy, Form/Drill Work, Training Plans
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Evaluation/Check-in:
Discuss current training (weekly practices with school programs for example) and possible goals/races ahead. Evaluate how the athlete is feeling. Are they energized? Are they feeling excited about track? What are they struggling with? There's a lot outside of sport (school, family, social lives) that can impact us on the track. I start every practice checking in with the athlete so I can ensure to meet them where they are at. Because track can be so demanding both physically and mentally, this is a non-negotiable part of my coaching practice.
Practice:
Depending on the above evaluation, practice can include form drills, technical drills for starts, an easy run, strides, hill sprints structured track or fartlek workouts. Depending on the athlete, I will often run with them for some or all of the practice.
Recovery:
Stretching, rolling, discussion regarding post-run fueling plan and how to optimally rest for recovery.
Debrief/training overview:
Discuss how they are feeling and their training plan outside of 1 on 1 sessions for the week. I can give guidance regarding supplemental drill work, what sort of weekly milage is recommended and appropriate based on age, health, and fitness. Where appropriate, I provide supplemental workout plans.
Career summary and accomplishments:
800m: 2:10
Best coach I ever had:
Coach John Murray at Northeastern University
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Track has the potential to be fun, transformative, impactful. For me, track instilled in me the value of effort and the joy of the process. It taught me about the power of confidence, and what healthy resilience feels like.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
