Co-founder of Heartbreak, head coach & founder of the Heartbreakers, Dan has coached hobbyists, division 1 athletes, marathoners, and A-list celebrities.  His mantra is "make runners faster & make it fun." 

U.P. is a wildly positive person who connects easily and meaningfully with everyone she comes into contact with. She brings an enthusiasm and spirit that resonates from within and raises the whole group. She finds her running most satisfying when it's tied to a deeper purpose. 

Josh always brings the party. He's outgoing, good natured and has competed in everything from the 50m dash to the marathon. His love of community shines through in coaching. He's also leading the charge for post-session "rehydration" at our local waterholes. 

Dev is a natural leader & loyal teammate. Find Dev running with friends on the river, sampling the finest independent coffee shops around town, elevating niche memes, at a hardcore show, or best of all, coaching runners with joy and love at Heartbreak.

Emily is a focused and fierce athlete and person. She knocked off over 20 minutes from her marathon PR since joining the team and has her sites sets on even loftier goals. She's always first to step up and offer help with Heartbreak's social events and knows that being a coach and leader is all about walking the walk (or running the run, in this case). 

Brea is a former collegiate cross country & track athlete at Bryant. She's a natural leader, able to share both her knowledge and bring the hype to a session. Having struggled with a major injury early in her running career, she's able to empathize and connect well with any runner who is on a comeback!

Pat is the the most enthusiastic teammate you could ever ask for, also one of the fastest. Pat's a die hard member of our Flyers, the group of Heartbreakers who represent us at the front of the pack. Even better, he'll coach you up! He shares his deep knowledge of the sport with all of the love and & joy you'd expect from a Heartbreak coach. Fun fact: he speaks French!

Russell Wells is a former D1 runner at both UMass and Boston College. Russell's specialty in college was the 800m but never afraid of a challenge, he quickly took on the marathon after finishing grad school. As a member of family deeply connected to running, Russell brings a level of knowledge of the sport that indicates a deep immersion in it since birth. His jokes are good too. 

Conor is an experienced coach, a 2:29 marathoner, a long time running industry guy, and the life of the party. He makes you laugh & makes sure you go fast. As the longest serving Captain of the Heartbreakers, Conor is a trusted leader & voice of the team in the community. 

Stephen is a driven distance runner and leader. He always seeks out ways to pass on his own knowledge and experience as a top tier competitor. He's won both the Bay State and Providence Marathons. He boasts a PR of 2:19:02 from CIM. A former D1 runner at Brown, Stephen is engaging &  well informed on all things running. 

Tuan is a long time Heartbreaker and friend to the running community. He's a natural leader and his warm, disarming manner has the right balance of push and expectation to help you get the most out of your sessions. 

Amy T, as she's known, is one of the fiercest competitors in the Boston running scene. She is our women's Firehouse record holder, runs a sub 1:20 half, and is chasing the OTQ. Fun fact: she can ride a unicycle too! Amy's infectious enthusiasm will make you love running even when you're pushing to your limit.
