Meet your coach, Melissa Johnson, 

My name is Melissa Johnson.  I was born and raised in Warrensburg, Missouri.  But have lived in Huntsville/Madison since 1991.

I ran track in high school and was a part of the local community swim team during the summers.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Arts Management Technology and a Bachelor of Education in Physical Education K-12.

I previously taught in the Health and Physical Education Department at the University in Hunstville until 2015.  I taught classes in aerobics, weight training, and butt’s and gutts.

After years off from running, I started back in the Fall of 2012 and haven’t looked back.  

Fleet Feet has been a huge part of getting me moving.

I have competed in countless, 5k’s, 10k’s and half marathon’s.

In 2013, I did my first Half Ironman and several there after.  

In 2015, I did my first Full Ironman in Arizona.
