Spark Multisport is excited to announce that Nigel
Cooper will be joining Coach Angela this summer 2015 as a run coach. Nigel is a former Professional Triathlete
racing in Australia and USA non drafting races.
He was an Australian High School State Champion in Triathlon and 5000
meter Track, with a 5K best time of 15:10 and 10K of 31:55. As a USA Track and Field Level 1 Certified
Coach with a degree in podiatry, Nigel bring
years of high level running experience along with a deep understanding of human
running bio-mechanics and a sound understanding of the kinds of injuries
runners face.
Nigel relocated from Brisbane, Australia to Chicago in late 2014 and has a day job at TEKsystems as an IT Recruiter. He currently lives in Wicker Park and enjoys exploring everything Chicago has to
offer. Mostly food. Nigel truly loves running and finds satisfaction
helping others reach the point where running is a joy and not a chore.
This means making training fun, specific, challenging and quantifiable. He
has plans to train for and compete in the 2015 Chicago Marathon and is truly
looking forward to helping Spark runners train to become fitter and faster!
