Hi! I’m Blair Wong—a runner, triathlete, and hopefully, your future coach! Growing up, I never thought of myself as an athlete. Any time I tried a sport, I felt really out of place, like I didn’t belong or deserve to be there. It wasn’t until college that some friends encouraged me to give running a try. They were so patient, running by my side and cheering me on until I crossed the finish line of my first 5K. That experience changed everything for me.

From there, I got into ultimate frisbee and even rock climbing, both of which helped me feel more confident in my own skin as an athlete. Then, after moving to Boston in 2020, I found a community of runners who made me feel like I truly belonged—like we were all in it together, no matter our backgrounds or goals. Thanks to their support, I was inspired to take on triathlons, and my triathlon coach made a world of difference. Having her in my corner reminded me I deserved to be there as much as anyone else and that I am capable of doing hard things.

That’s why I became a RRCA Level 1 Certified running coach. I know how powerful it is to have someone believe in you, especially if you’re just starting out or taking on a new challenge. My goal is to help you feel that sense of belonging and excitement every step of the way!
