Interval training improves strength, speed, cardiovascular fitness, metabolism and running performance. We believe that strength training is an integral part of training as a runner. To run strong, we must BE STRONG! Our strength work focuses on runner specific exercises that will help us avoid injuries, tone and tighten muscles and run longer and faster!

This 60 minute class focuses on building strength, endurance, power and efficiency running “Florida hills” aka bridge repeats! In “flat Florida” we must find ways to train hills and there’s no better way to do it than with friends!

This class will start with a dynamic warm up then repeats over the bridges to build strength in our legs, hips and glutei. Class will end with gentle stretching and we will be on our way to start our day after a great morning workout session!

JACKSONVILLE OWNER & HEAD COACH – COACH AMY

Amy Magdalein-Gurley

Coach Amy started MOTR Jax in September 2017 with the goal of helping women to get moving and to feel good in their own skin. Her love of running started after having her son in 2010 and struggling to get the baby weight off. Although her mom was a long time marathoner, Amy thought running was stupid and boring…until she lost all the baby weight and fell in love with running! More than 15 years later, Amy has ran 25+ marathons, 70+ half marathons and numerous shorter distance races.

Amy has been coaching in person and virtually around the world since 2015 and has helped hundreds of runners reach their health and fitness goals.

​Coach Amy is your MOTR Jax Head Coach. She’ll be the one who’ll call you when you don’t show up, encourage you to stay consistent, and help you navigate any aches and pains along the way. She’s known for being tough – but encouraging – as she pushes you out of your comfort zone to help you reach your health and fitness goals! ​

​Amy’s favorite quote: “Hard work is fun! There’s something unsatisfying about things that come too easily.”

ASSISTANT COACH – COACH CHRISTY

Christy Barkoskie

Coach Christy is a 56-year-old runner, mentor, and inspiration to those around her. Living with Type 1 diabetes, she has never allowed it to define her limits. Instead, she uses it as motivation to prove that strength, discipline, and determination can overcome obstacles.

A devoted and proud mother of three amazing sons and one beautiful daughter-in-law, Christy values family deeply as she has been with her fiancé for well over a decade. She also considers her 2 dogs, Beau and Remi her children!

Running is one of Christy’s greatest passions. Whether it’s a 5K, a half marathon, or a full marathon, she embraces every mile with perseverance and purpose. The road, for her, is more than exercise—it’s a place of growth, resilience, and self-discovery.

As “Coach Christy,” she is known for encouraging others to push beyond their limits. She believes that everyone is capable of more than they think, and she takes pride in helping people realize their potential. Through her example and her words, she inspires others to move more, believe in themselves, and take control of their health.

Coach Christy isn’t just a runner—she’s a motivator, a role model, and living proof that determination, hard work and heart can carry a person any distance.

ASSISTANT COACH – COACH CHRISTIE

Christie Rogers

In high school, Coach Christie was active playing softball, but after school when there were no sports to take it’s place and she stopped moving, she put on a lot of weight. In order to get moving and be active again, she started running around her neighborhood by herself in 2015 to lose weight and become healthier. She met a friend in a yoga class who told me about the Galloway group so she joined them and started running 5ks, graduated to 15ks in 2018, then ran her first half marathon in 2019.

One day, her Galloway friend Michelle Baker, mentioned that she was a part of another group that meets on Tuesday mornings for speed work and asked if she wanted to join her. She did and she LOVED it! She was excited to find out that it was more than just a running group, she would now learn running techniques, work on form, speed and strength. She wasn’t as excited to do strength but learned quickly that she needed it. She told us that when she joined Moms on the Run Jacksonville in 2023, she mentioned she had heal pain. Coach Amy gave her strength exercises to help her get rid of her plantar fasciitis. She is now running pain free again and is very grateful!

Coach Christie told us that she loves being surrounded by women who are very supportive. She is not a mom, but she is a VERY cool aunt, and says she immediately felt welcomed.

Since joining MOTR, Coach Christie has ran multiple Personal best races and ran her first full marathon at our group trip to Niagara in 2025. Her FIRST marathon, but not her last as she already has more on the calendar!

Coach Christie said, “While I started running for health reasons, I now enjoy running because it makes me happy. I am challenged in a good way, I am more confident, and I have developed friendships that will last a lifetime. I love cheering for others as they reach their goals and help support those who are starting on their journey like I did.”
