Jonathan Cane is the co-founder of City Coach Multisport and has been coaching endurance athletes for more than 25 years. He holds a Masters Degree in Exercise Physiology. Jonathan has guided thousands of runners through the NYC Marathon, both privately and through his JackRabbit Sports programs, and he coaches for Under Armour Running. In addition, he is the co-author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Weight Training and has written for Metro Sports Magazine, NY Runner and Triathlete Magazine. He has been a featured speaker for Nike, New York Road Runners Club, Chelsea Piers Triathlon Club, The Hospital for Special Surgery and TRIARQ.
Kelly Roberts is the self proclaimed former president of the “I Hate Running Club.” While struggling to grieve the loss of her brother and maintain a healthy body weight (after losing over 75 pounds), she thought, “What better way to run from my problems than to actually run from my problems?” Since those painful first runs around Thanksgiving 2012, she’s conquered everything from marathons (four total) to over a dozen half marathons to 5Ks and hasn’t looked back. She created her blog RunSelfieRepeat.com to inspire others to get active while making them laugh hysterically – because laughing, in her opinion, is the solution to everything. You can find her on Twitter, Instagram and Spapchat (mostly eating cheeseburgers, taking selfies with handsome men or terrorizing her sister) via @KellyKKRoberts or on her YouTube channel.
Mike Cassidy qualified for the 2012 Olympic Trials after running a personal best of 2:18:52 at the 2011 California International Marathon. He’s finished seven marathons, including four in New York City. In 2013, he ran 2:23:46 to finish 22nd overall and as the fourth American. Cassidy’s was a familiar face after the 2013 race, crossing the finish line with Olympic silver medalist and 2009 New York champion Meb Keflezighi. A Staten Island native, Cassidy is currently working on his Ph.D in Economics at Rutgers University.
