Joey Longoria

USATF Certified cross-country and endurance coach

Joey brings 40 years of running experience and knowledge to the team. Competing on the state and national level as a youth and high school athlete, he now runs for enjoyment and overall health and will occasionally gear up for a targeted race. Either way, you will still find him on the track doing interval workouts or throwing the javelin as a masters competitor. Running has been a true life-long passion that he shares with his family and through the creation of The Wine 10K. This is the passion and drive he brings to each client at ASPIRE!

Rachel Davis

PhD and Masters, Nutritional Sciences and BS in Exercise Physiology / Elite marathoner

Dr. Rachel Davis spearheads ASPIRE’s Comp(EAT) & Achieve Nutrition Education program and as an elite marathoner, will also serve as a run coach for RunASPIRE. Spending nearly a decade at UAB, she competed in track and cross-country during her undergraduate studies before moving up to the marathon distance while in graduate school. Her mission is to use this skillset to encourage, educate, and coach proper nutrition practices while enforcing food as fuel. Given the amount of incorrect (and even dangerous) nutrition content on the internet, Rachel aims to educate against restrictive fad diets often employed by adult and youth athletes alike.
