Coach Fernanda Rodriguez Buendia

Coach Fer is a UESCA Certified Running Coach and endurance athlete who genuinely enjoys a little bit of everything,  from road running and trail races to cycling and triathlon. She has completed two Ironman 70.3 races, half marathons, trail races, and cycling events, and loves the variety that endurance sports can offer.

Her coaching approach is centered around the individual. Fer believes there is no single way to train that works for everyone, and she enjoys getting to know each athlete, understanding their goals, and figuring out what works best for them. She loves learning, asking questions, and understanding the “why” behind training while making sure the process still fits into real life.

Fer believes running is for everyone. Whether someone is just starting out, training for their first race, or trying to become stronger and faster, she wants athletes to feel supported and excited about their progress. Having experienced that support herself through the coaches and community at Fly Tri Racing, she is excited to be part of someone else’s journey and help them see what they are capable of.
