About Jill

"We runners don't run for the trophies or the records or the recognition, we run because a rapidly beating heart pumps more life through our veins."
~Dean Karnazes
 
As a ChiRunning® instructor, I help you learn effortless, injury-free running so you can implement running into your plan. I offer on-line and on-site private or group coaching.

Jill Burchmore has been in the fitness industry for over 25 years. As a Running Instructor and Wellness Coach she helps her clients establish and focus on healthy habits to excel, prosper and succeed in all areas of their lives. At the young age of 21, Jill underwent emergency surgery for a perforated ulcer as a result of high stress and anxiety. She understands first-hand that wellness of the mind and body are the main ingredients to combat stress and anxiety. Her positive energy and optimism is contagious. The tools and strategies you take from her are life transforming.

In high school, Jill was overweight, out of shape and generally unhealthy. She was on the swim team and ran track. She was so bad at running, she switched to the “shot put”. Her swim competitions were grueling. She entered college and experienced headaches, fatigue and lack of motivation. Her academics suffered. After a routine visit to the doctor, she learned she had high cholesterol (258). At age 19, she decided to “turn her life around” and become more healthy, productive and successful. Her cholesterol decreased to 185 from diet and exercise alone. Let her share some secrets and motivation techniques to” turn your life around” today. “Being alive is a gift, living life healthy is a choice.”  A Short Documentary my son made about me and why I run:

Testimonials

• I encourage anyone who has even the slightest secret wish in their heart to run at all – even a mile – or tackle Imogene to sign up for Jill’s running class. Don’t let another year go by and wonder what could have been. Make this your time – it’s your season!

  Melissa Ramponi, Telluride

• I enjoy the structure of Jill’s running program.  The Wednesday class makes me get out and do things I would not ordinarily do (interval training, hill sprints). Jill is the best! I never ever thought I could be a runner or find running fun but it is actually fun!

  Heidi Pierce, Telluride

• I look forward to the Wednesday workouts! They are fun, challenging and a great way to meet other people. This class also pushed me to do things I didn’t think were possible. I love Jill! I am so glad I joined class and can’t wait for more running adventures and challenges!

  Charlene Downing, Telluride

• Thanks to Jill’s class, I conquered things I never thought possible; run up hills, run more than 10 miles and run Imogene! Thank you so much for getting me into shape – Imogene is something I never thought I would or could do!

  Karen Overn, Telluride

• Thanks for a great season!! I feel so much stronger this year than last…of course, I was more committed to the schedule and those long, hard ass trail runs!

  Debbie Pruett, Telluride
 

• Jill was instrumental in getting me prepared for the Imogene. Her routines were extremely challenging, and her motivational attitude effective. She exceeded my expectations for what a coach might provide informationally and inspirationally. Plus she’s just a great person to work with.

  Chris Chaffin, Telluride

• I loved this workshop. Jill really seemed to care about me and what I needed for longevity movement. She provided me with tools I can use for the rest of my life.

  Sharon Krahe, Aspen

• Jill is expert at providing practical training and advice for the Imogene Pass Run. She has best practices down to a science. Of equal significance, she helped me discover how to actually enjoy training and racing by learning how to benefit mentally from the time outdoors becoming physically fit. Jill’s support and help in reaching this goal – a goal I NEVER imagined possible for myself – empowered me in a way I will always be thankful for

  Emo Overall, Telluride

• Working with Jill helped me achieve my goals, even surpass them! I could not have completed my first 1/2 marathon without her! The last mile was so hard and I couldn’t have made that mile without her coaching. Seeing Jill at the finish line was the best!

  Tiffany Osborne, Telluride

• I got out yesterday for a run and it was invigorating. I’m so thrilled to be on this path of taking better care of myself and finally making time for me to exercise. Thanks so much for all your enthusiasm and support. I ran in my first race ever on January 1st. It was a breeze! I would have never ever, ever, considered doing this six months ago. Yeah to Jill and 180 Wellness!

  Mary Jo Guerrero

• I am a better person because of my wife Jill. Her energy and motivation is contagious and I’m lucky to be around her every day.
