About Noa

The Right Background To Understand YOU

Coach Noa is a certified running coach here to help you achieve your athletic goals! Noa is a New Yorker through and through—resilient and resourceful, bold and confident, fast-paced and direct. These characteristics shine through in her work with athletes in the NYC area and across the world. With a background in Organizational Psychology from Columbia and extensive experience coaching ‘corporate athletes’ at NBCUniversal, she brings a unique perspective to athletic coaching.

She loves being a female run coach (coaching all genders) and has taken courses on nutrition for female endurance athletes for added guidance.

An Alternative Start that Adds Perspective

Noa was not a natural born athlete – by any measure, preferring preferring movie marathons to running marathons (or athletic feats of any kind). Her passion for sports began unexpectedly during graduate school when her best friend challenged her to a Level 1 New York Road Runners class. Despite initial doubts, she completed the class and discovered a newfound love for running that would last far beyond the 20-minute final “test.” Since then, she has completed nineteen full marathons (with 5 BQs), five Olympic triathlons, and countless shorter races. Her journey from a novice to a seasoned athlete has taught her the value of perseverance and hard work. She does still love those tv and movie marathons – the perfect recovery!

Enabling Everyone to be an Endurance Athlete, if they want to be.

In her 10+ years of coaching, Noa has helped runners of all abilities set and achieve ambitious goals. With determination and the right approach, anyone can experience breakthroughs, big and small. In addition to 1:1 coaching, Noa has coached for Team in Training, Gotham City Runners (winning Team Champs Division B), and currently coaches for New York Road Runners.

Whether you’re training for your first marathon or aiming for a personal record, Coach Noa is here to support you and be your hype person every step of the way. Let’s work together to make your goals a reality!
