Jeremy Murphy, Certified Health Coach
Jeremy Murphy is a certified Dr. Sears health coach and a certified RRCA (Road Runners Club of America) running coach. Jeremy is an asthmatic ultramarathoner who has overcome challenges of a lifetime of allergies and asthma to create his own healthy living plan. A few years ago, he learned that he had high cholesterol and triglycerides and his doctor told him to make changes. So he gave up eating meat 2 days per week and began increasing his running. Murphy is an alum of Texas Christian University (B.A. in History/Philosophy, 1990, cum laude) and has a law degree from Creighton University in Omaha (1993).
In 1988, Jeremy ran his first full marathon in Dallas. Since then, he has run an additional 14 full marathons, including Denver, New York City, Omaha, and Lincoln. In October 2014, he ran his first 50k ultramarathon in the Market-to-Market 50k from Murdock to Lincoln, Nebraska. Jeremy's running blog can be found at http://www.RunningGrooveShark.com. Jeremy is also a nutritional consultant with Juice Plus and owns his own Juice Plus distributorship. He found the plant-based diet increased his running endurance and helped better handle and manage oxidative stress and inflammation. On November 19, 2013, Jeremy began a runstreak (running a mile or more) and is still run-streaking now. He is a member of the Streak Runners International/U.S. Run Streak Association. In 2014, Jeremy ran 2,066 miles, achieving his goal of running 2014+ miles. In 2015, Jeremy ran 2,021 miles, running more than his 2,015 mile goal. In 2015, Jeremy ran a 4:19 full marathon in Lincoln (fastest since 2004) and a 1:47 half-marathon in Run Laughlin/Bullhead City Half (fastest half since 1999).
Jeremy is married to his wife, Mimi, a hospital pharmacist and has a daughter, Cecilia, who is a very active dancer. Some credit for Jeremy's recent training is from Misty, his English setter puppy who loves to run! He has found solace in reducing stress and improving a healthy lifestyle for himself and his family. Jeremy would love to help you achieve your health and wellness goals using customized solutions that work for you and your family!
Not all who wander are lost.
