Lynsey Romano is the owner of Skyline Run Coaching, a virtual business based in Airdrie, AB with a team of two coaches and over 35 athletes. They create personalized and evidence-based running and strength training plans with an emphasis on enjoyment of the sport and long term athlete development. Lynsey is a lifelong learner when it comes to both the science and art of coaching, taking into account the unique needs of every athlete on her roster. Lynsey is extremely modest but she is also one heck of a fast runner!
